"Jason was upfront, honest, and did an amazing job on the removal of the old driveway and putting the new one down. The whole team did an excellent job and I am extremely happy with the outcome. He didn't take any short cuts on pricing or on the labor. I would say my only grip would be he was hard to get ahold of sometimes, but when yountake into account that he is physically at the jobsite working and not sitting in some office it is of little consequence. If you have any paving needs, this is the company you want. You do not need to look any further."

"Jeremie came out the same day we called and gave us a recommendation and a solution to our problem. The next week his crew was delivering materials and getting ready to install our new drains and asphalt driveway for the following day. The work commenced as planned, however, the grade was so steep that they had to do most of the prep work by hand and all the asphalt installation by hand. My wife and I thought that was difficult enough, but they did all this during the hottest two days of the summer. Great job during very trying circumstances. We love our new driveway. Thank you so much, Roy and Diane"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Acton, ME

To calculate how much pea gravel you need for your project, multiply the length, width, and depth of the area you want to cover to find the volume in cubic feet. Then, divide that number by 27 to convert it to cubic yards to determine the amount of pea gravel you need.

A yard of pea gravel weighs about 1.3 tons or 2,600 pounds. Keep in mind that wet gravel weighs more than dry, and different types of gravel can vary in weight. For example, due to its density, river rock weighs significantly more than crushed stone and pea gravel.

The ideal depth for pea gravel depends on the type and size of your project. You'll need at least two to three inches for walkways and patios and a minimum of six inches for driveways to support heavy vehicles and prevent shifting over time. Aim for a depth of three to four inches in decorative garden beds or drainage areas.

Pea gravel is attractive, versatile, and low-maintenance. It provides excellent drainage, making it ideal for pathways, driveways, and garden beds. On the downside, its sharp texture isn't ideal for bare feet, and it can be challenging to weed or remove once installed. It can also shift underfoot without proper edging, creating an uneven surface.

Alternative landscaping materials you can use instead of pea gravel include wood chips, decomposed granite, crushed stone, pebbles, quartz, mulch, sand, and river rock. These materials offer different aesthetics, performance, and costs, so it’s important to do your research to determine which one best fits your landscape design and budget.

Many homeowners choose pea gravel because it requires minimal upkeep compared to other landscaping materials. You'll need to rake it occasionally to redistribute the stones and maintain an even surface. Pros also recommend installing weed barrier fabric beneath the gravel to prevent unwanted growth, although some weeds may still appear over time.
