# DIY Epoxy and Pea Gravel Floor
An epoxy and pea gravel finish gives your floor a textured appearance. The pea gravel looks like it can move, but the epoxy holds it in place, which means you don’t have to worry about it getting dragged across your house or your garden. Most pea gravel is mixed with the epoxy before you lay it out. This keeps the pea gravel from moving around too much when you lay it.
