"We are very pleased with the outcome of this project. From the initial phases when Tim Glasco came out the house and assessed our situation and proposed a solution that would be both effective concerning drainage and aesthetically pleasing. It also turned out to be fire protection barrier, in that there are now no combustible plants within 10 feet of the house. Tim and the crews that did the work are all very professional, knowledgeable, and dependable. He suggested several changes as the work progressed which enhanced the project, and worked with us to make some changes which we desired."

"We have been using Dave for the past 4 years for our annual snow removal. Le e just say that our driveway is a challenge. 10,000 feet elevation, switchback, all while climbing high And hey keep it clean so we can get in and out even in the worst of storms. Better than summit county clears the road. They will clear decks, roofs or walkways as well. During the summer season, he has also done landscaping work for us. Re-did a walkway, regraded and overseeded an area after our septic was replaced, plus smoothed out our gutty rocky drive after the snow melts. In addition, when we had 90+mph winds and some trees knocked our power out and literallly tore the electrical box off the house and blocked the driveway, he was there THE NEXT DAY with his chainsaw to help us out and has been our go to resource for any and all tree removal. Another time a delivery driver would not listen about putting all his chains on and got stuck on our walk retaining wall...a box truck!!! He came and pulled him off with his truck and was out at the house within the hour. He has always gone above and beyond for us and we are so happy to have found him off of Angie's list. We know other locals who have loved in Breck for years that only use Dave. He works hard and is an absolute pleasure. Even went as far as sending heartfelt condolences when my dad passed away. We have another project on our 10 acres and there is absolutely no one else we would consider to do the work. His pricing is fair and the finished project is fantastic!!!"

"The guys from RB were great to work with. They were able to come the night I called even though they had a busy weekend. They were quick and efficient and even helped out my neighbor the same evening. As an extra bonus for me, they hauled everything away which was really helpful since I didn’t need the extra wood. I also use them to clean up my rental property yard. All around excellent work. I would highly recommend giving them a call for any of your household needs."

"<p>After obtaining a bid from a prominent local tile business that I thought was too expensive, I asked Levi's Custom Tile for a bid that came in at one third the price for the labor compared to the other vendor. Levi and is workers installed the tile on time, as specified, and did an excellent job. Very professional. We plan on using him again for future jobs.</p> <br />"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Buena Vista, CO

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.
