It does vary. Look for angular gravel rather than rounded pebbles. I
used 10mm "Newbury Flint" and a vert similar "Dorset Flint" for the
paths between my vegetable beds. I have some 20mm on the parking area
which is less pleasant to walk on.

Choose a size thats too large to get stuck in tyre treads and boot
cleats; and as Steve says choose angular rather than round. Round rolls
slowly away..even on flat ground.

A good supplier will have all grades available to view, plus good
advice, and really good ones will give you free samples. Choose
something in a colour that's in keeping with the material used on the
house.

Many thanks all for the informative replies. As I am placing a weed
barrier underneath would not gravel as opposed to pebbles tend to
perforate it?
