Smooth, polished pea gravel makes comfortable, good-looking walkways and yards. Safe for pets and kids. Sourced direct from Nevada quarries in natural earth tones, with no artificial dyes.
Smooth on paws, drains fast, doesn't hold odor. The default pick for Vegas dog owners converting from grass or mulch.
Comfortable barefoot, non-slip, handles Vegas rain. Pair with stepping stones or pavers for a finished look.
Softer than concrete, safer than angular rock. Rounded stones mean fewer scraped knees. Better drainage than sand.
Pea gravel is smooth, rounded stone, naturally polished by water and time. Unlike angular rocks like brown rock, the round shape doesn't dig into your feet. It drains well, looks good, and costs less than most decorative options. Use it for borders, walkways, play areas, and pet yards.
Pea gravel's neutral tones fit right into desert yards. It drains fast in Vegas heat, doesn't need much upkeep, and is light enough to install yourself in a weekend. SNWA-approved when used with drought-tolerant plants.
The workhorse. Comfortable underfoot, stays put under normal traffic, natural earth-tone mix.
Smaller, smoother stones for a tighter, more polished appearance. Reads as designer-grade.
Smooth stones won't hurt bare feet or paws like angular gravel. Safe for bare-footed kids and older dogs.
Round shape creates air gaps, so rain and irrigation water disappear instead of pooling.
Free of chemicals, dyes, and sharp edges. Dogs love it, and it doesn't hold urine odor the way mulch does.
Nothing to seal. Lasts 5–8+ years with periodic raking, and migrated rock rakes right back into place.
Rinse the yard weekly in summer to keep it fresh. That's the whole maintenance plan.
