"James was incredible to work with during every phase of the project, from the initial walk through of the proposed work, to picking out stone for the different parts of the patio, and any alterations or modifications to the original plan. His estimate was very close to the finished amount, no hidden costs or surprises at all. Every portion was met with transparency and communication, which led to an incredible backyard transformation. The quality and attention to detail really shine through every part of the project and I still can't believe how different my backyard is now!"

"I hired Avalos Stone and Landscape twice (back to back), first to plant some privacy hedges, clean gutters, repair front step, and install concrete pavers; then right after that to fill some cracks in my foundation wall and apply stucco. I am happy with both projects. Not sure what will happen with the foundation wall down the line... I may need to do much more substantial work at some point, but the work Avalos did will help me to determine this. I also really appreciate the owner’s suggestion that I choose to have skip laurel hedges installed of arborvitae because the skip laurels will grow faster and hide much of the sight of my annoying neighbors."

"The design was well conceived. The installation was careful to not disturb grass lawn. The light fixtures seem to be excellent quality. The installation was overseen by a manager."

"After 5 years of self cleaning my stone kitchen floor and not being able to remove all of the dirt and grime buildup, I finally hired Rose Restoration to professional clean my floor. They did an outstanding job. The floor looks new again! The service technician was punctual and worked extremely hard for 6 hours. It was well worth the price and I will have them back in a few years for another spruce up."

"All my expectations were met and exceeded. Flavio and his sons and excellent crew worked as true artisans to construct an exceedingly beautiful flagstone walk and patio in the courtyard to my home in Leisure World. The work was performed at the highest level of professionalism with careful attention to detail during the sales and specifications stage of the project and through every aspect of the installation. I was greatly impressed by the way each man on the crew approached the work -- each was a shining example of great customer service -- and the artisan who placed the stones was amazing. The work was performed exactly according to specifications, plus the extras they provided such as adding a discrete drainage pipe to pull away the condensate from my air conditioning system, and everything was done exactly according to the schedule we discussed. This company is highly recommended."

"We had a really positive experience with GAL. The entire crew - from the lead all the way across the team - were universally polite, skilled, hardworking and did a really good job. It was a ton of work and although there were a few mistakes along the way, as always happens, they were never anything less than fully reasonable and accommodating about fixing them."

"Their work was top-notch. They did regrading around our house as well as buried 2 drains to funnel water away from our house after we had basement flooding. Also did external waterproofing for 1 corner of the house/basement. After the work was completed we couldn't even tell how much had been done, they really incorporated everything into our existing lawn/landscaping and if anything it all looked better than what we had before! Their rates are a bit higher than others but I was much more comfortable with their knowledge/apparent quality upfront and was not disappointed."

"Mr. Bandele personally came to do the estimate the day after the call.  The property belongs to my 84 year old mother and I wanted her to be involved and comfortable but she sometimes has trouble communicating. Mr. Bandele did a very nice job on the clean up. The overgrown trees and shrubs were trimmed and shaped and the property looked much better without having to relandscape it all. When my mother had concerns, he listened and responded appropriately.He also did a great job communicating in writting, over the phone and in person with both me and my mother. He was knowledgable about the plants and how best to preserve or replace them. I would definately recommend him. <br />"

"<p>While Hughes may not be the cheapest (they are also not the most expensive), they have consistently done quality work for us. We have worked with Joe Schaeffer as the lead on our projects and he is always professional, punctual and makes sure all work is done correctly per the estimate. Joe has also been very helpful to us when we have been selecting plants for our yard as we have a significant deer problem. He has taken the extra time to determine which plants will do well in specific areas of our yard based upon light and aesthetics while keeping in mind what the deer are less likely to eat. </p> <p>We would highly recommend Hughes based upon our experience with Joe. </p> <br />"

"Richstone Marble & Granite pros suggested new marble vanity top options and provided precise measurement and installation of the countertops and sinks quickly while working around my schedule. They were prompt to respond; accurate with their estimate and measurements; and professional during installation -- not to mention they were the only firm I contacted that even bothered to reply to my online inquiry and agree to take such a small job."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Brentwood, MD

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.
