"This was exceptional service. Rocky came on site and matched the brick and even incorporated the brick design of the house into the mailbox. I have received nothing but complements from my neighbors. He built my mailbox better than the original !"

"Tyson went above and beyond the job he was hired to do. We agreed to his clearing my yard to put in a patio. He ended up putting in a full stone patio for me that includes a space for a fire pit that is level. Quality work and deserves a 12 out of 10. Highly recommended. This site won't let me upload photos, says file is too large."

Marquis & his team went above and beyond while completing the work, taking the time to explain exactly what needed to be done and why. WMF was professional, obviously experienced, and did great work at a fair price."

"Roger was able to make my front yard beautiful. After 6 years I still get compliments on it. I even awarded a “Most Beautiful Home” award from my City. I had a drain issue that caused mold to grow on my brick walkway. It became very slippery and became quite dangerous. Roger was able to solve the drainage issue. His workers arrived on time, were polite, got the job done and cleaned up after themselves. It was a pleasure working with Express Landscaping Inc. Roger was able to solve that problem. I am near the Colby Trail there is a large amount of walking traffic on my street. People compliment me constantly on how beautiful my front landscape looks. I was even honored with a “Most Beautiful Home Award” presented by my City."

"I had a retaining wall built in Sept of 2012, In less than a year the wall was falling down. Blake's crew tore down that retaining wall, loaded the old concrete blocks (weighted about 20 lbs.) and move them. They cleaned everything up, put in the correct base, drainage gravel, landscaping cloth behind the wall. they put in another French drain and made They install the correct concert blocks (weighted 97 lbs.) They put in the Wall was level, straight and sure it would drain. The crew put in the correct back fill soil.
When the wall was complete and the crew leader was satisfied  with their work, myself and my wife was well please with the work. They cleaned up all of the debris and hauled it away.
They were here when Blake said the would be and did an 'OUTSTANGING" job.  I would use Knoxville Hardscape any time I had something like this to be done. I would highly recommend him to anybody.
His crew was great. The answered all our questions and if my wife was not satisfied with something, they corrected it with any problems. I have never had anyone do better work that these men.

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Alcoa, TN

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.
