"I was in desperate need of some new landscaping I’m front of my house. 828 landscape came out and did a terrific job. They installed many new shrubs along with a beautiful mulch bed. These guys are very professional. I will definitely be hiring them again in the future"

"Sean Condron and his team are total pros. They did a major home renovation for me. They were just remarkable and I trust them implicitly. I plan to have them build a mountain home for me on my land. Sean gave me really good advice that saved me money. He cared about me as the client and did not try to “upsell” me. My main home is in Winston-Salem and I would love to have Sean and his team to help me with my home here! I recommend them unconditionally."

"We had a driveway project that needed to be addressed in order to sell our home. Tom came right out and spent time thinking through several options to repair based on how much money we wanted to invest. Tom sent me 3 quotes for all of the options and included details for each and even listed materials. From the very beginning, Tom has been professional and his communication has been excellent. I would recommend Groundhog Grading to anyone who is looking for job well done. Wonderful experience."

"

I needed Joe and his son Tony on two occasions over the past two months.  Each time, I was met with friendly, on time service and very fair pricing.  Joe is very conscientious about doing a good job, and I like the chemistry he and his son have.  They work well together, fast and efficient.

Joe takes great pride in his work.  Of course, I'm in a rush to get things done, but after a particularly rainy weekend, Joe completed half my job one day and recommended that I wait two more days to let the bricks dry out as the humidity and moisture in the bricks were making the job look presentable but not right.  Joe wanted to do it right, which I respect.

I would use Brick Solutions again and again, and I would have no problem referring them to anyone else.

"What I found refreshing was that the person doing the work called me regularly to update me on the progress, and he also sent me pictures of the work that was completed to see if I was satisfied. Also, this gentleman advised that my porch roof was sagging and he put in new supports. I was pleased with his advice as i had been wondering what I would do if one of these supports gave way. I was very pleased with this proactive service."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Banner Elk, NC

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.
