"My husband and I wanted a driveway. We priced concrete and settled with gravel when we moved into our house. A year later, we set a budget off no knowledge beyond what others said they paid, a hunch. Our asphalt driveway looks phenomenal. T&T came in under budget, even with a little extra work. They did a fantastic job. Their employees were in high spirits, everyone was happy and kind, even on a 90+ degree day. We got exactly what we wanted, and they thanked us for the work, not the money. This is a genuine, generational family business. I canâ t recommend them enough."

"I hired Hammons Stone Work to build a 16x24 stone patio over an existing pad. The crew showed up on time every day, kept the work area clean, and were easy to talk to throughout the project. The stonework looks fantastic ? level, even mortar lines, and the finish ties in perfectly with the rest of the house; They clearly take pride in their work. It?s rare to find a local team that?s this professional and detail-oriented. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality stone work."

"Great work and pricing! The crew came out on time and finished job same day. Very professional and sensible with recommendations. They removed old broken concrete driveway, filled with gravel and poured asphalt over everything. Great edges, smooth surfaces, and all around solid work. Iâ d recommend this company to anyone."

"Excellent! I can't say enough good things about this project. We live in a 1920 Dutch Colonial, our walkway was falling apart. Miguel gave us samples to look at that would match our front Brick porch. The brickyard he sent us to allowed us to bring samples home to compare. He ordered what we wanted and within 4 days began the project. He came early in the morning and stayed well into the evening and completed the job in 2 days from demolition and removal of the old walk to the installation of the new one. He seeded the lawn that edged it. We selected him because he a patio and driveway and walkway for our nextdoor neighbors. We've lived here since 1974 and people trust the contractors we use. We highly recommend him and we always like to hire local owner operated businesses. For an additional fee he planted 2 trees in the front of the house. We are very satisfied."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Alexander City, AL

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.
