"Matt and his team did a phenomenal job. We priced out quotes from a number of landscaping companies to remove a tree and install gravel in our backyard. 316 Landscaping were the lowest quote by far. Unlike some of the other contractors, there was no pressure to hire, although I knew we were going with them basically as soon as I'd talked to Matt. Even if they hadn't been the lowest price, he did a fantastic job of talking me through options and helping me make the best decision for our yard. He talked to me about the best way to remove the tree that none of the other landscaping companies did, which really helped save on cost. He also told me that he could get it done in a day, when at least one other company ballparked a week. Speed was important to us since we work outside the home and being around for a long-term project would have been difficult. Matt was extremely easy to work with, very flexible when I realized our measurements were a bit off and we had to recalibrate the quote, and did an awesome job communicating. They were extremely efficient, getting done in basically a morning. The crew was friendly but professional. They did a fantastic job. We're extremely happy with the work, and I can't say enough good things about Matt. We'll definitely be using them for any landscaping projects going forward!"

"Walter and his crew did an excellent job completely relandscaping my yard from the ground up. They ground a stump, did the grading, installed retaining walls and underground drainage, installed sod, planted all kinds plants, and laid boulders, gravel and pavers. They also built two giant brick walls that collectively stretched about half an acre. They were professional, respectful, responsive, kind and they showed up when they said they would. A couple times mistakes were made because of me and they corrected it and didn’t charge me. Overall, we received a great value for the price we paid and we highly recommend their services."

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.
