"Very professional. Arrived as promised and completed the landscaping as promised for agreed price. I hired him to update the landscaping across the front and around the side of my house which involved pulling some plants, cleaning some plants of unwanted growth, cleaning the plant beds and installing new plants. Finally, putting down new mulch. I could not be more pleased."

"Reliability distinguishes the best contractors from the rest. This was never in doubt with Jay in spite of two unavoidable issues that arose prior to installation. Both were handled perfectly with excellent communication. I don’t know what is typical but the sod from Jay’s supplier seems very clean to me. A month after installation I’ve seen only 3 or 4 small weed sprouts from 6,000 sq. ft. of sod. Owing to outstanding site preparation there’s also been almost no breakthrough of preexisting weeds."

"We were on a short turn schedule due to another contractor falling out and spoke to the owner Scott Seddon. He was extremely responsive to our request and gave us multiple options to complete within a two-three day time frame. He mentioned the high and low price proposal and explained he would not know until he was able to survey. We thought that would mean we would be paying the high price. We were extremely pleasantly surprised. His men were out exactly on time and with the proper equipment. They also brought out extra gear just in case. They surveyed the job and made several great recommendations. They completed the trail perfectly and also made sure to spread the excess dirt evenly. They walked the entire ground with us and made sure we were happy with every aspect of the job. The best part was they charged us the very lowest quote they had provided us. Very Professional and would use them again in a second."

"Our small front yard needed a complete redesign. First Eric, the company owner, came by and gave me a design, with specifics, an estimate and dates. Overall, Eric told us what he was going to do and he did it in a timely fashion. Anytime he wasn't going to show up, he called us frequently and kept us updated. He is a very good communicator, which is key in any business. Though they specialize in smaller jobs, he seems to have a bank of related contractors when and if any heavy equipment type work is needed, or if he needs specialty plants brought in. The result was a beautiful front yard that draws compliments from friends and acquaintances, with beautiful, heat resistant plants that are appropriate for the setting."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Anna Maria, 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.
