"I called The Driveway Lady to get a quote and ideas on how to solve a difficult problem with my concrete porch. My home was built in the late 1800s and has a large raised concrete wrap around porch surrounded by beautiful stone walls. Replacement would be prohibitive, but there were some substantial cracks and pitting. It was like walking on an ocean reef, it was so rough, and the repairs made to the cracks wouldn’t hold, but Jean determined that it was otherwise secure with no water penetration below. She suggested they repair the cracks with hydraulic cement and then coat the entire surface with Miracote to seal both the cracks and smooth the surface and protect from future pitting. They worked with me to get the color right when I didn’t like the initial application.  Jean stands by her work and does an outstanding job. The people she has working for her are also courteous, pleasant and easy to work with. I can’t recommend her and her team enough."

"Highly recommended. Very professional and friendly. They were accessible, responsive, and easy to work with. Expertly drawn plans of the project ahead of time (without charge). They were generally prompt in work completion and scheduling, and demonstrated a lot of flexibility in fielding impromptu requests. They also had great attention to detail with the work they completed. I'm looking forward to additional front yard projects in the future. The work they completed included the following: Cleaned/rockhound back yard, , removal of junk bushes and trees, with new re-grading of yard and grass seed Planted multiple trees and bushes Moved our side shed after it was installed by another company Back yard fence install Back patio with low wall install, stone walk way around house; refinished front walkway and steps to house Built landing to front and rear entrances Installed gutter drains"

"I was extremely impressed with the work Atila and his crew performed. He kept me informed on each step of the process and everyone was extremely nice and respectful. I love the color and pattern of the stamped concrete. They are extremely knowledgeable about concrete and meticulous in their work! I honestly can't say enough good things and look forward to using them again for our porch and walkway."

"DIO Construction did a great job on our project. They poured concrete steps, a patio with a large sidewalk, and an apron and sidewalk at the street. They also repaired some stone walls. A couple weeks later they came back and paved a 150 foot driveway that adjoined the new concrete. I showed Anthony a drawing of the concrete work we wanted and he made it just like the drawing, right down to the inch. The concrete work is excellent. I expect it to last much longer than we will. During the concrete work there was an unexpected complication. A specialist from outside their company was on the scene within an hour. The problem was resolved the following day with no delay to the project. Anthony recommended a different contractor for the railing for the new steps. That contractor was responsive, fair, and did a beautiful custom job. The day the old blacktop was removed, it was done in a nearly surgical manner. The new blacktop was put down in the same way. The team always showed up when they said they would and maintained good communication. Anthony was patient with all my questions and limited any inconveniences to the absolute minimum possible. Thank you very much!"

"They were absolutely amazing. I was assigned them by the city through the rain check Philadelphia program so I didn’t get to research too much before beginning my project but WOW! I’m so happy they were the ones selected for me. For years (since buying my house) My backyard was always very embarrassing to me and I hated having people over but now I can’t wait until I can have a dinner party and show it off to all of my friends! High quality work, friendly and prompt service. Very comminicative, informative and knowledgeable. It took them 5 days to break the concrete, dig up the underlying dirt lay the different gravel layers and lay the bricks. The only minor critique I have is that the soil in the cut away is a little shallow so when I planted my tomatoe plant there was some gravel in the hole. Other than that I could not be more satisfied with their work! It’s beautiful, it’s helping the environment and it was fast! Thank you so much!!"

"Chris did a great job repointing the stone foundation and columns that needed maintenance on our house. He matched the existing ribbon style beautifully. He was easy to communicate with, flexible, and a nice guy. I’ve already recommended him to neighbors and plan on using him for another project."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Bala Cynwyd, PA

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.
