Can anyone direct me to a good source for pea gravel? It doesnt HAVE to be the nice, smooth surface type but I would like it to be similar in diameter.
Or, it there a better alternative for covering areas of your lot that will see a bit of vehicle traffic? This is in the Ranchitos. Looking for something that keeps the dust down and can be walked on fairly easily, barefoot. Pea gravel is the only thing I can think of.

| The construction store on the paved Ranchitos Road has it available or used to. Can't remember the name of the place but its fairly close to Dr. Laguna's office on the same side of the road.

a couple of doors down from Abarrotes Alamos in the Ranchitos (take the paved road by the Gym/VillasTetakawi) there is a fellow by the name of Angel. He can get that type of gravel you are looking for.
We used 7 cu meters at our school for the side yard and driveway apron. Cost was about $1400 pesos last year.
you can walk on it barefoot comfortably enough....but honestly I wish it were just a little smoother.
