"Worst experience I've ever had. The salesmen seemed good at first, and turned into a typical salesman that did not follow through on anything promised. I wanted Metal roofing, originally he said he can make it happen, when insurance approved everything, then he came back and said the market for metal is too high right now. I asked him to quote me anyways that i would be willing to pay out of pocket. He said he would and never did. I have an addition built onto our house and my #1 issue that i wanted addressed was that i wanted a seamless roof, i didn't want it to look patched together like it was an add on. He said he understood and would get it done right. NOPE, have shingles on the whole roof, and rolled out roofing material on the addition. I asked him to come take a look when the installers were done as i thought the quality of the work was horrible. Paint scratches, drip edge cut horribly and done half assed. He said he would take pictures and let me know. Never heard from him. i followed up a few days later, he said the office was reviewing the photos and would get back with no later than one day. It's been over a week and no word. If you want a cheap roof that is going to cost you alot of money, go ahead and use this company. I would stay away though. Horrible service. I'm scared if i have a warranty issue if i will even get it fixed. STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Albuquerque, NM

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.
