"I had a deck i tore down and wanted to make an extra parking space, and then we talked about the drainage problems I had. He used Black t op fillings and packed it in, all around the house and sloped it so water would go away from house. I was very pleased with this. 2 days after completion he called me to see how it was after it rained, and it was a 90% improvement from what I had before."

Turner Paving was founded in 1980 by the late James E. Turner, Sr. Mr. Turner was a second-generation paver that aimed to provide affordable asphalt services to the citizens of the Tri-Cities area (TN/VA). Mr. Turner took pride in the quality of work he provided his customers, many who have been loyal for decades. Our motto is that "dreams are paved with asphalt". Over 40 years (and four generations of pavers) later, Mr. Turner's business has expanded to include services like: commercial and industrial paving, grade work and gravel, asphalt sealing, asphalt patch work repair, and more.

"They did a good job for a very reasonable price."

Gravel or loose fill paving installs, spreads or scrapes FAQs

The depth of decomposed granite depends on the load the surface will support. For a vehicle driveway, install decomposed granite six inches deep. For pedestrian areas, use three inches, and for decorative surfaces, one inch will suffice. Heavier loads require thicker layers to ensure stability, drainage, and longevity, while lighter uses can maintain their appearance with less material.

One cubic yard of decomposed granite covers 54 square feet when laid to a six-inch depth. This conversion is derived by dividing the volume in cubic feet by the depth in feet. The calculation is fundamental for project planning because it converts three-dimensional volume into the two-dimensional area of coverage. Due to potential settling and compaction after installation, pros recommend an extra 15% to ensure the installed layer meets precise design requirements and maintains robust stability over time.

Determining whether a base layer is necessary for decomposed granite installation requires careful assessment of your project needs. A base layer of crushed rock or gravel provides essential support, improved drainage, and enhanced stability. Utilizing a solid base improves the overall structure by absorbing weight, reducing erosion, and extending the life of the surface. Additionally, a properly compacted base layer minimizes shifting and settling, ensuring that the decomposed granite remains evenly distributed and effective over time.
