"I was extremely impressed with the work Atila and his crew performed. He kept me informed on each step of the process and everyone was extremely nice and respectful. I love the color and pattern of the stamped concrete. They are extremely knowledgeable about concrete and meticulous in their work! I honestly can't say enough good things and look forward to using them again for our porch and walkway."

"George was an absolute pleasure to work with. We wanted our driveway to be installed right after snow melted, and he was very responsive as we traded phone calls about scheduling. He was out to do the job the very first day it was possible, and he and his team did a terrific job. Our driveway had a couple of areas where the grading was both important and tricky, and George and his team carefully tested the area with water to make sure everything was flowing correctly. Terrific job--highly recommended."

"DIO Construction did a great job on our project. They poured concrete steps, a patio with a large sidewalk, and an apron and sidewalk at the street. They also repaired some stone walls. A couple weeks later they came back and paved a 150 foot driveway that adjoined the new concrete. I showed Anthony a drawing of the concrete work we wanted and he made it just like the drawing, right down to the inch. The concrete work is excellent. I expect it to last much longer than we will. During the concrete work there was an unexpected complication. A specialist from outside their company was on the scene within an hour. The problem was resolved the following day with no delay to the project. Anthony recommended a different contractor for the railing for the new steps. That contractor was responsive, fair, and did a beautiful custom job. The day the old blacktop was removed, it was done in a nearly surgical manner. The new blacktop was put down in the same way. The team always showed up when they said they would and maintained good communication. Anthony was patient with all my questions and limited any inconveniences to the absolute minimum possible. Thank you very much!"

"They were absolutely amazing. I was assigned them by the city through the rain check Philadelphia program so I didn’t get to research too much before beginning my project but WOW! I’m so happy they were the ones selected for me. For years (since buying my house) My backyard was always very embarrassing to me and I hated having people over but now I can’t wait until I can have a dinner party and show it off to all of my friends! High quality work, friendly and prompt service. Very comminicative, informative and knowledgeable. It took them 5 days to break the concrete, dig up the underlying dirt lay the different gravel layers and lay the bricks. The only minor critique I have is that the soil in the cut away is a little shallow so when I planted my tomatoe plant there was some gravel in the hole. Other than that I could not be more satisfied with their work! It’s beautiful, it’s helping the environment and it was fast! Thank you so much!!"

"Barbara Nesbitt was one of several landscaping contracters we contacted to assess, recommend, design and quote for a complete renovation of the landscaping in front of our home. (We had a 30-ish year old landscape with lots of DIY plantings and a TON of overgrowth and weeds from our inability to keep up with the maintenance). <br /> <br /> To start off right, Barbara was straighforward with me about her availability, turnaround, and charge for designing the solution. So far so good... as I'd already been burned by several contractors who came for a visit, promised a response and quote, and then either didn't return my calls or missed their committed dates on a response. <br /> <br /> Barbara spent over an hour with me reviewing some of her previous work in photos, walking around my property, discussing my requirements and priorities, and sharing some of her ideas. I was very concerned about creating a low-maintenance landscape (because I have very little free time for yard work), and she was aware of and proactive about considering deer resistance. She was up front and clear about her labor charges (for the team, by the day) and I agreed to pay her reasonable design fee (which would be credited to the job if I went with her for the work) and waited the agreed time for her design to emerge. <br /> <br /> When Barbara returned as scheduled, she came with expert drawings, detailed information about deer-resistant plants, a detailed quote (which I found extremely reasonable on the plant materials plus the aforementioned labor) and an open mind. My 73-year-old mother (an experienced home-builder and home gardener) put her through a grilling you wouldn't believe, and Barbara passed muster with flying colors. Barbara's design was realistic and true to my requirements re: color, formality vs. informality, maintenance needs, and deer resistance. It was the most expensive design I'd received, but I saw clear value in it vs. the others who had gotten as far as drafting a design. <br /> <br /> We made a few minor tweaks to the design, gave her a deposit check, and set a date to get rolling (about 10 days later). <br /> <br /> Barbara's team (always including her and 5-6 men) arrived promptly each of the 3 days of the renovation and worked tirelessly for a full day each day. They dug, hoed, chopped, raked, and anything else you can think of to do with a garden/landscaping. They planted two trees, about 20 shrubs, about 15 perennials, and 200 bulbs, and they strategically placed 5 tons of boulders, including creating a lovely dry-fit boulder wall at the bottom of my hill meeting my driveway. The stones were always placed with quarrystone for drainage. They also brought in and placed three yards of quarry stone for the foundation under my new shed. Soil was amended for each plant. They brought in and spread nine yards of triple hardwood mulch, and spread Preen. <br /> <br /> I was then and now remain completely thrilled with the results the following spring/summer. Given the starting point, Barbara and her team worked miracles. I now gladly bring a member of her team back every six weeks or so to do pruning and basic maintenance on the landscaping - a very reasonable expense (about 2 hours @$30/hr every 6 weeks or so) to keep the beauty maintained. <br /> <br /> Barbara Nesbitt was and is a delight to work with, her fees were completely reasonable for the quality and quantity of work done and plants supplied, and we drive into our driveway smiling to look at the results every night after work. My only regret is not doing this sooner."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Bryn Mawr, PA

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.
