"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."

"We contacted Precision Paving and Landscaping because the area where we wanted a patio was uneven and hilly so having a company that was good at laying a firm foundation seemed imperative.  We were not disappointed.  From the start, owners Michael and Jay were responsive, patient, creative, and professional.  This was a difficult project given the terrain, and their thought and planning to put in the patio really paid off.  Along with ending up with an incredibly solid patio, they developed a tasteful design for an oddly shaped area and installed an intricate and extremely attractive paver pattern.  The final result is beautiful and has elicited rave reviews from everyone who has seen it.
It is important to note that Michael and Jay proved to be honest, hard-working, and thoroughly enjoyable people throughout the entire 8-day project.  They also took care of some unplanned tasks and supplied much more stone than was anticipated for no extra charge. In addition, their estimate was the most reasonable of any we had done, and they stuck to it.
We would definitely hire them again.

"Triton provided top notch service from the very beginning design layout, through product selection, grading, and installation. Several professional computer enhanced design layouts were provided beforehand in order to assist in our deliberations. Each layout was intended to remain within the budget we provided. Although heavy rains caused a delay in our patio install, Triton worked with us to support our required end date in order to accommodate a large planned outdoor gathering. They easily absorbed several design changes we made and quickly provided us with the overall effect on cost. They even modified our contract to mulch our gardens. Installation crews were professional, fast, courteous, and cleaned up behind themselves. Overall, I would highly recommend them for similar work."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Allentown, PA

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.
