Question
I live in Middle Tennessee and I am trying to construct a permeable gravel patio. I'm having a difficult time finding a suitable fine gravel in my area for the surface. It seems that all anyone carries is pea gravel, which doesn't pack well and has a tendency to wash. I'm enamored with crushed granite (also called manufactured sand) that I've seen on line, but can't find anyone who has this product in my area. Do you have any recommendations?

Answer
Dear Eric:

I also live in Middle Tennessee (Brentwood) and in my research for your question I found "granite grit" in 3 different colors at the Jones Stone Company:

   * (615) 292-4717
   * 2705 Larmon Dr
   * Nashville, TN 37204

Hope this helps and good luck with your project.
