"Over the last five years my waterfall has not worked properly; three different landscapers have come to fix it. Unfortunately they would "band-aid" the situation but never fix it. Then Mark arrived on the scene. The first words out his mouth were, "All of the leaves in your backyard are the same color and shape." He is passionate about landscape design. His bid came out to the penny when he was finished; no surprises. We now have a long term vision of where my yard needs to go; he will come back to do little things that tweak my yard to give it a "landscape designer" look. I can still do my "therapy gardening", but it has direction. One afternoon I arrived home, and he had stopped by to move a birdbath/water structure.( Where it was sitting destroyed the balance); then he calls to see if it is okay where it is. He makes super helpful suggestions. I had a space that needed some punch; Mark told me to go to Lowe's; their trees were discounted and would be cheaper than what he could sell one to me. (what landscaping company does this?) The crew calls before they come and then calls to see if I was satisfied with what they did. They are as polite and knowledgeable as Mark. I am high maintenance when I have anything done in my house; I'll admit it. That stress is gone when working with this company. There is not a speck of dirt on the driveway and nothing they can not fix. You can afford them; just do it and enjoy your own little piece of outdoor heaven. Oh, by the way, he likes to talk and not communicate via text and email; that says something right there. <br />"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Bennet, NE

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.
