"Dean was amazing. He brought super healthy shrubs and huge bamboo plants for our privacy fencing needs. We called him back for more! He was timely, knowledgeable and very pleasant to have working on our property. He was a huge help with our project. He taught us some different things along the way, and helped us understand the irrigation needs. We will be calling on him again for our next project!!! Thank you, Dean!!"

"We had a few areas in our kitchen where the granite had been worn and damaged with something (it's a rental, so we dont know what). It's a dark blue granite, so the area where it looked like the surface had been eaten away at was very visible. Marble Life came out and polished everything, and ground/polished/buffed the damaged areas. The granite looks great now, and the damaged areas all look like new except for a small part of the worst one. They worked at it for quite a while, and Im convinced it's the best it could be. They did a great job. <br />"

"From start to finish it was a great experience! I love supporting local and family-owned businesses when I can and working with Joey and Cathi was great! The tuck-pointing looks amazing. Joey took the time to custom match the existing mortar as close to perfect as you could get, he takes great pride in his work and the quality was impressive! Cathi kept open and reliable lines of communication with me throughout the entire project. My neighbors were all impressed with the quality of work! I would highly recommend!"

"In preparation for building my new home, I contacted Mr. Clanton, who was recommended to me by a friend. He came out to the property (1 acre, wooded) and we discussed which trees would have to be removed. He helped me determine the best location for the house. I wanted to try to keep as many of the bigger trees as possible and he spent the better part of a Saturday with me, measuring and laying out where the house would go. He answered my millions of questions and was always available if I needed clarification on anything. He kept in contact with me and even helped by talking to the septic tank contractor and coordinating their schedules. On the rare occasion that he was not going to be able to make it to the job or was going to be late, he always called me to let me know."

"Premier Lawn and Landscaping was great! They delivered the stone and had it spread in no time. I had called many people before that never showed up but this company did it and at a reasonable price. So I thank Big Earth Landscape Supply and Premier Lawn and Landscaping. <br />"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Babson Park, 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.
