"Punctual, friendly, hard-working, and fast. We needed our gravel driveway paved and Saul and crew did an outstanding job. within about five hours they did our entire driveway from beginning to end. Looks great, I can't wait to park on it. Professional and skilled I would invite this crew to work for me anytime. Absolutely five stars."

"Clear Path Property did an awesome job! They removed our old concrete quickly and laid down fresh gravel that looks great and is super solid. They were super friendly, showed up on time, answered all of my questions, and and even completed the job ahead of schedule. I would highly recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to call them again if needed in the future."

"Earl and his team did an excellent job installing my asphalt driveway and walkway and I love the job. HOWEVER, I called him multiple times to seal the driveway and walkway after the winter months of 2019-2020 ended. At the time of the paving Earl agreed to come back and seal it but it had to completely cure so Spring 2020 was the earliest. Earl and I spoke multiple times and because of COVID-19 he was not able to complete any jobs so I had to wait longer than I wanted but he did agree once he started up he'd be over to seal my driveway. He also informed me he was paving a driveway on my road and he'll seal my driveway on the same day. I stopped over at the worksite and Earl confirmed he will seal my driveway on the 20th of June, 2020. I tried for ten days to get a confirmation from him via text and phone call. EARL never called me back and he didn't show up. READ the reviews where customers could not reach Earl or Earl never returned a phone call. Earl is a very nice man and I'm glad he paved my driveway and walkway but because of his follow up and blatant lies about sealing my driveway and giving me a date and time and then he doesn't show up, I wouldn't recommend him to anyone. Read the reviews. Just be warned Earl does really nice work but he doesn't keep his business word when he says he'll be back. I know it wasn't the same paying cost as paving a driveway (sealing) but one of my messages I left was, "I know you're busy and if you can't seal my driveway, just let me know so I can hire someone else to do the job" and guess what, Earl never called or texted me with a message that he wasn't going to seal it. Since then I've hired a great company to seal my driveway and walkway. I'm very happy. I didn't want to leave such a review but Earl deserves to know you can't tell a customer you'll complete a job or come back and take care of the job if you're not going to do it. Saying no or nothing is much better than telling a lie, and Earl, you know you lied to me. After all, you made the appointment more than once to seal my driveway and then never showed up nor called to tell me you wouldn't be there. Bad for business. And I don't expect you to write a comment back about any misunderstandings or confusion or mistakes I have said. You know I'm being truthful so don't try to shame this review as you have done with others. This review is not on the initial work, that was excellent, but on the sealing of my driveway that never happened."

"We wanted a driveway installed and called Brian. He came over, gave us an estimate and explained the whole paving process. He made several recommendations which we appreciated. The crew came today and did the install ... beautiful job! So far we love the way it came out and the guys working were polite and cleaned up leaving everything looking great. Would hire again in a heartbeat."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Albany, NY

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.
