So frustrating


Keep it simple, add some coarse sand. You want bigger than "play sand" found at building supply stores. Contact a masonry supply store. Often times that have larger grades in piles. If no luck there try a pool or spa supply store and inquire as to the largest size they have for sand type filters.

How about decomposed granite? Stone yards in your area? Give them a call.
