Pea Gravel Patio: How to Build One That Actually Stays Put
The most effective solution combines physical edging at the perimeter with a spray-on pea gravel stabilizer applied to the surface layer. Edging stops lateral migration at the edges; a stabilizer bonds individual stones to each other so the interior surface doesn't scatter underfoot.

Rubber Mulch vs. Wood Mulch for Playgrounds: Safety and Maintenance Compared
The rubber mulch vs. wood mulch decision isn't about finding the better material — it's about matching the right material to the right application, then making sure it holds.
