Default Pea stone/gravel for a parking pad

The local government insists that no cars or vehicles be parked on

unpaved
ground. I'm planning to put pea stone down and wonder what sort of
preparation is required.


I have no advice to offer on the preparation, but I sure do on the

material: Pea gravel is too fine
for parking vehicles. You want "crushed stone" instead. Best thing to do

is to call a local stone
and gravel dealer, tell them what you want the stone for and how large an

area you need to
cover, and let them tell you what to get and how much to get.


That's two votes for crushed stone!
