"Patrick was very straightforward in offering a quote to repair a cracked step, threshold and concrete landing. His team also repaired some masonry that had cracked near the step. The work was done quickly and looked very professional. I'm pleased; and I recommend them to my neighbors."

"Horizon Landscaping Designs did a superb job of refurbishing the retaining wall on our property. It required a significant effort as it was over 20 years old and beginning to collapse. The work was completed in only two days and the crew worked nonstop to get it done. The work was flawless and the wall is in top condition now. The cost was reasonable and well worth the quality of the work. We highly recommend Horizon!"

"Hall’s did an excellent job of trimming all the shrubbery, removing all the English ivy while keep the other ground cover, then mulching the beds. My yard looks better than it has in years. I will use them again as needed."

"We had a large stamped concrete patio built and the end result is quite good for the price. They didn't take long to finish and seemed to know what they were doing from start to finish. The stamped design looks close to real. I would recommend them and use them again. We are happy with the product and quality at the price we paid."

"We were so impressed with the kitchen counters and island from ten years ago that we went out of our way to have Dominion Granite install the marble counter tops for our bathroom renovation. Christian and his team were extremely professional and informative the first time, and were just as professional and informative during the most recent installation. They have vast and amazing options on site to select your granite or marble. Meticulous installation with perfect lines and cut-outs. High quality on trend porcelain sinks are also available from Dominion Granite. Their office is urban chic and inviting showroom with amazing slabs in their adjacent warehouse and cutting area. Most highly recommended."

"I cannot say enough good things about Green Lady Masonry! Deborah was absolutely wonderful to work with. She is extremely kind, thoughtful and super responsive. She, Gerardo, and the crew all worked so hard! I had contacted multiple businesses over the years for help with our sloped yard and drainage issues and nobody seemed up to the task. Green Lady Masonry came in, and immediately gave me a great solution and at a great price! They came when they said they would and worked from early in the morning until late in the evening. Gerardo was so nice and every crew member was extremely kind to me and my family! They did such a fantastic job! It has changed the way my kids will play. Before we were not using our yard at all and now I am so excited for my kids to play! The walls are beautiful! Many neighbors watched this happen because we are right on the walking path and I got many comments about how nice of a job they were doing! I highly recommend Green Lady Masonry! Thank you!"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Arlington, VA

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.
