"Sarasota Marble Restoration did a great job restoring the terrazzo floor in my 1951 Siesta Key beach house after the 2024 hurricanes. See for yourself at YouTube.com “The Old House On The Beach” drone video."

"Platinum Pavers did an OUTSTANDING job raising our pavers. And they were incredibly skilled putting all the pavers back in place. Eddie was extremely quick in responding to all my questions, provided awesome pricing, their skilled crew arrived on time, and worked diligently all day with absolutely perfect leveling and installation result. ! They cleaned up after they completed their work. I highly recommend Platinum Pavers"

"I contacted them to make adjustments to the swale next to my driveway. New homes have been built on both sides of my property that have higher ground level than mine. When it rains the water backs up into my driveway low spot leaving a puddle 8 x 16 feet for several days. Marcos with a helper from Outdoor Life came out and did the work finishing in about 4 hours. Hauled away all the excess dirt that was removed. Great job ."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Alva, FL

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.
