Sheila Schmitz This is called pea gravel, available at a local stone or landscaping materials yard. Unlike solid surfaces, gravel and pavers like this allow water to seep into the soil, rather than run off into the yard or street, which is a good thing! If you're looking for pebbles for a walkway, you may need a layer of small crushed rock underneath to stabilize the smoother pebbles and make them easier to walk on. The larger pavers are usually set into a layer of sand and gravel.

added by J. Peterson Garden Design to 5 Gravel and Stone Types for a Rockin' Landscape
Pea Gravel The basics: Pea gravel is a small, rounded rock that got its name because the rocks are about the size of a pea. In reality pea gravel comes in different sizes — 1/4 inch, 1/2 inch and 5/8 inch are common sizes. It typically comes in a range of tan, brown and white color mixes, but do your homework to learn the cost of each. Use pea gravel for patio areas, pathways and filling in between flat rock, like flagstone.Cost: Pea gravel is sold by the bag for around $3 or by the cubic yard for $33 to $50 and up. Advantages: Most kinds are fairly inexpensive and readily available.Disadvantages: It can be difficult to push a lawn mower or any wheeled equipment over a gravel path, as the wheels tend to sink into the gravel. It can stray out of place if not properly edged.Special considerations: There are several different types of pea gravel, and some are significantly more expensive (rainbow gravel, for example). Be sure you know the difference when you are choosing your gravel to avoid sticker shock upon checkout.Maintenance: Stay on top of weeding so it doesn't become a maintenance issue. Pea gravel can have a tendency to stray out of its area if there's no barrier to keep it in place, and even then, it can shift to cover nearby flagstone. Keep a broom handy to sweep it back into place.
