Pea gravel patio ideas do look appealing and very attractive. It is something that will last for a lifetime and has a number of advantages. It provides excellent drainage, it prevents weeds and erosion, it can be installed in a weekend and is an inexpensive solution. In addition, the material is versatile and can be used for not only for patios but for garden paths or driveways. On the downside, pea gravel is a loose material and you will not have a smooth surface. It shifts underfoot and may be inconvenient to walk on and on bare feet the sensation may be quite uncomfortable. As a base for dining furniture, the small stones might be unstable and in areas with snowfall, it will be difficult to remove the snow.
