I think in town, in a yard, and where most people water the yard at least some, the pea gravel is a good way to go. But down in Navarro County, I used the pea gravel for my fence posts when I built the fence around my garden. That was a mistake. That black land (Wilson clay loam, it was called) would get huge cracks when the ground got dry in the summer, the pea gravel disappeared into the bowels of the earth and my fence posts were standing in big holes until I filled in around them. We would literally get cracks in the ground in which you could have lost a golf club. Perhaps if we'd gone deeper, it might have worked.
