"10-06-2023 We cannot speak highly enough about Beausoleil and sons. From Kathy in the office, to Eric whom we dealt with and answered all our questions and all our calls. And the crew that did the driveway were all wonderful. We have a two car wide driveway and it looks beautiful. We have received several compliments. Many thanks to all of you."

"Matt and John did a wonderful job. We needed our lawn leveled and seeded, a old tree trunk removed, and a curved sidewalk poured. In fact, they were also working on a friend's sidewalk job just down the road from us. They scheduled both our sidewalk pour and our friend's just so the cost of the overall concrete was kept at a reasonable price. They took their time and didn't rush. I did my due-diligence and obtained multiple quotes for the job. (I actually had one contractor imply the job might be too small for him.) Matt handles large jobs! But he will also take the small ones. I do not feel you'll go wrong with South Shore Excavation!"

"Great company. Nelson quoted a price for a patio immediately and began the project a week later. Quick, cheaper than other quotes, and excellent craftsmanship, I got all three!"

"Sam and his crew did a great job with our driveway that was 82 feet of more ruts and rocks than driveway. I really appreciated the way they took care to grade, fill and lay down a proper gravel base before installing the 3” layer of asphalt. They were done in less than a day and left the yard spotless."

"Had a great experience with John Cooper Asphalt Paving. John gave the estimate personally, and it was immediately clear that he was knowledgeable and experienced, and he knew exactly what needed to be done. Pricing was very competitive for the job to be done. For the estimate, demo day, and paving day, John and the team were very punctual, exactly when promised or 15 minutes early every time. Job was done in an orderly fashion, job site was left perfectly clean, and very happy with the end result. Would highly recommend giving John a call if you need paving work done."

"I have used them a couple of times. They were great. I remember I looked around and the place looked good. They came really fast and put the mulch where I wanted it. Their price was what I was looking for."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Bristol, RI

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.
