Beatsons 10mm Pea Gravel

10mm Pea Gravel is a natural, rounded aggregate suited to drainage jobs, borders, pot topping and driveway edging. The 10mm grading (4mm to 10mm) makes it a reliable choice for drainage work, including pipe bedding, soakaways, french drains and retaining wall backfill, thanks to its free-draining, non-compacting structure.

Our 10mm Pea Gravel, sometimes called pea shingle, is a versatile natural aggregate used across landscaping and general construction. The rounded, smooth-edged stones come in a natural multi-tonal blend of chestnut, cream, grey and warm beige. Product will be supplied unwashed.

On the practical side, its smooth texture and consistent 10mm grading (4mm to 10mm) make it a strong performer in drainage applications. It's a common choice for pipe bedding, retaining wall backfill, and filling soakaways or French drains, since water passes through it freely rather than pooling.

Note: 10mm pea gravel is not generally recommended as a standalone driveway surface for vehicles. It can migrate under tyre traffic, so a coarser 20mm aggregate is usually the better option for driveways.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 10mm pea gravel suitable for driveways?

It can be used on driveways, but it's not the first choice for vehicular areas. A coarser 20mm aggregate holds up better under tyre traffic, since the smaller 10mm stones can stick in tyre treads and get scattered by heavy vehicle movement.

How many bulk bags of pea gravel do I need for my project?

One standard bulk bag (approximately 850kg) covers roughly 10m² at a 50mm depth (2 inches). To get an accurate figure, measure your area (length x width x depth) or use an online aggregate calculator before ordering.
