Landscaping Materials
Pea gravel is small (about 3/8 inch), smooth, and easy to walk on. Enter shape and depth to get cubic yards, tons, bag count, and a recommended bulk order.

Assumptions
Pea gravel spreads a little farther per cubic yard than crushed stone because the round pieces do not lock together as tightly. For a 100 sq ft patio at 2 inches deep, plan on about 0.6 cubic yards or roughly 32 bags of 50 lb pea gravel.
Under playground equipment the recommended fall-attenuation depth is 9 to 12 inches of loose-fill pea gravel over a level, well-drained subgrade with containment edging.
