"Once Taylor started the job, the workers finished it over three consecutive days. In other words, they did not start and stop it to go elsewhere for another job.  We were told it could take up to 5-7 days but it took only three.  Driveway looks great and is experiencing its first winter with sand and salt--fine so far.  <br /> Quality seems excellent. Price was in line with other offers.  Also, the company responded quickly to my initial call for an estimate and sent its saleperson out to carefully assess the driveway and discuss options.  He was great.  Other companies often did not call me back even after I called several times and politely waited for return calls. <br /> I highly recommend Taylor Construction & Landscaping company for driveway work. <br />"

"Lyndon Tree did a great job. They used equipment that could get to our backyard without any damage to our property and they cleaned up after the pruning completely. The grass is growing and they even added more seed when they came back and noticed some small spots that hadn't started to grow grass. Corey and his workers were professional, answered all of our questions, and explained everything that they were doing. I would definitely hire Lyndon Tree to do future jobs."

"They are excellent. I couldn't find a better company, better price company, quality of work and workmanship. They are very pleasant people and are eager to work with you and they don't indulge you on anything they do. The price depends upon what type of work they do. We have large piece of property and they do trimming, shrubs and lighter stuffs for us here. They do all sorts of things and do a very good job of cleaning up. They do all various kinds of stuffs without a complaint. My neighbor got them first, I got them second then other neighbor saw the quality work they do and they do the same and do good like yard clean-up, mulching. They do it for everybody here. We own two homes and the quality of work they do is an A+ versus anybody who does. Their pricing is very good."

"Steve is the best. It has been a while since he did the work and I told him, at the time, that I intended to write a review. Unfortunately time passed and now I am finally writing the well deserved review as promised. Steve is the master. He knows precisely what to do and how to do it. He also was able to analyze a problem with the drainage and resolved it appropriately. He is most knowledgeable. He knows what he is talking about. He is experienced and professional. I will always call Steve. Do not waste your time or money with other companies,"

"We had an excellent experience with them. Their prices were high, but for what it cost it was reasonable. We just thought that they were very sensitive to what we wanted and we were very happy with the experience. They have done an excellent job and everything looks wonderful. They were very responsive to what we wanted, what plantings and where they plantings would go. We purchased the house in the fall and the front has been planted over and it was huge or any gardens o there was a lot of removal of plants. We dealt with owner Steve Prothers and he was just really helpful and easy to talk to. The crew that also came was excellently also and that isn't always that case. They were friendly and they answered questions. We spent about $4000 on that service. They gave us a lot of advice and we did not feel like we were pressured to spend or do more than we wanted to. We just had the front portion done and the crew that came and did the work were excellent too."

"A L Bristol and Sons always did a great job every day they were at my property. They were always on time and were diligent and accurat about the work the preformed. Lance wanted things to be done right the first time. He was very meticulous. He was always forthcoming with me and always did things exactly as he said he was going to and never cut corners. If anything he always went overboard to make sure it was perfect. His costs were always in line and he was more than far on prices about everything he did. I have never meet contractors that I would trust more than Lance and his sons. I have come to trust him and respect him for his honesty and accuracy. I will always use him for everything I need done that has to do with excavating, grading, foundation, sidewalks, patios, septic systems, and anything else they do in that respect for my home. His prices are spot on and always fair in my opinion when I am looking for quality work that I don't have to worry about or question. "

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Amherst, MA

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.
