My uncle in Ohio told me to just use pea gravel instead of fancy pavers...

totally agree with tarabell here. that safety part really hit home for me because my neighbor bought a whole truckload of pea gravel from some guy on craigslist and it was full of broken glass and rusty nails. lucky for her she noticed before the kids went out to play in it but what if she hadn't you know? @wendy131 it really can be a big deal especially if you're getting it from some rando with no accountability. i'd rather pay a little more for stuff that's been stored right and is actually safe to walk on barefoot.

Is it really that big of a deal?

Whoa, hold on. People keep talking about convenience or cost. But nobody's looking at the safety side. Think about it. If you buy from a random person online, there's zero guarantee about storage or handling. Could be sitting in a hot garage for weeks. That's how you get sick.
