"Raul saw cut pavement and concrete, trenched, installed drains, and graded my property to insure proper drainage. Along the way, he offered suggestions and accommodated my last minute changes in plans. He is easy to work with, and I will use his services in the future!"

"Excellent work. He and his helper arrived when he said he would and completed the difficult job promptly and professionally. He went beyond my expectations, clearing about 20 feet on either side of the very long driveway and beyond. The cost was reasonable, and they were very pleasant to work with. Will hire again!"

"We have used Evergreen Landscape Maintenance for 17 years.  They have done an excellent job of keeping our yard looking nice for all that time.  I feel we have the nicest looking yard on the block.  The owner is very knowledgeable about all aspects of yard care.  We appreciate so much that he is always available for needed repairs or problems that spring up suddenly.  They have even planted trees for us.
I can't really make a judgement about their monthly bill because I don't know what other yard service businesses charge.  Evergreen adds an extra fee for repairs, spraying, etc., but we feel those charges are very reasonable.  Their billing procedures, however, are often quite inconsistent.  We're never quite sure when---or if---the bill will arrive.
The work crew is speedy and efficient.  They watch for any problems that need to be addressed.  Sometimes after there has been some bad weather (or maybe a holiday) they don't show up for their weekly service, but that is to be expected.  I think communication could be a little better at times.  We're never quite sure when someone will show up for needed repairs, etc.  It is always handled in a reasonable amount of time, though.  The owner has been known to even show up at night after a long workday to take care of the problem.
All in all, we are very pleased with the service provided to us by Evergreen Landscape Maintenance.  We would recommend them to anyone looking for a good landscape maintenance provider.

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Big-Bend, CA

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.
