"We live in Utah and have owned property in Independence for years. With the overgrowth rate, we hired a person to keep it cleared. He did marvelous until ill with serious complications. Tried Angi several times to find someone to take over. After no offers, we gave up over a year ago. Recently, Independence City sent us a written overgrowth notice. Angi was tired again. Within an hour was contacted by Solid Ground Land & Excavation Services, LLC. Their representative was attentive, interested and helpful. He visited the land that day and sent a bid that evening. The bid was reasonable and we contracted this company the next day. Less than a week later, the job is done and photos provided to show "Before" and "After" conditions of the land. Excellently done! Further, this company has agreed to assist us to find a new person to do the ongoing maintenance. Could not be more pleased with the outcome. Thanks to Hap and to Angi!!"

At Good Earth Water Gardens, we specialize in the construction, renovation and maintenance of natural looking, low maintenance water features. We provide a few other landscaping services too, but our main passion and specialty is in the water garden industry. You wouldn't hire your Chiropractor to do your taxes would you? Then why hire any "jack of all trades" landscaping company to build your water feature? We feel that companies who claim to do everything, are usually experts in nothing and it's common that we fix a lot of their poorly installed water features. From designing a proper infrastructure that doesn't leak, to having the understanding how water will look cascading from a boulder, we make sure our features are built right and our customers are served right! Originally from St. Louis, brothers Dan and Kevin Stanza grew up in the landscaping industry, helping their contractor dad, Glenn. Dan and Kevin assisted with basic tasks such as weeding beds, planting shrubs, and spreading mulch. But once they helped build their first pond, inspiration took hold. The part-time chore sparked a full-time passion for water features. After graduating college, Dan lived in numerous cities before establishing in Kansas City. Entering the corporate world or getting a “job” never appealed to Dan, so he kept going back to what he knew - hence Good Earth Water Gardens was born. Payment can be cash, check or credit/debit card. We require a 1/3 down payment before the project start and the remaining balance upon project completion. *Note for all credit/debit purchases an additional 3% will be added to the total balance.

"We were impressed with Scott's (the owner of Horizontal Earthworks) professional attitude from the outset of this project. After contacting him, he made an appointment to meet us at our site and he arrived exactly on time. He listened to the plans for the project as we outlined them and within a few days submitted detailed plans along with the estimated cost. We decided to revise the original plan and he again visited the site and came up with details for the revised plan within a matter of a few days. Once we signed the contract, Scott had his crew here at the agreed upon time and began work. The entire project was completed within approximately 7 workdays and was done exactly according to plan. Scott's crew was efficient and respectful of our property--once they completed their work each day, they tidied up the worksite and left no materials or tools strewn around our property. Importantly, the lines of communication between Scott and ourselves was superb. He always let us know when tasks would be accomplished and if we had any questions, he answered promptly. We would not hesitate to hire Horizontal Earthworks for future projects and recommend the company without reservation."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Buckner, MO

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.
