The work was completed in a timely fashion, and I am 100% satisfied with the quality of my new paver patio, I would recommend boulder landscapes to any of my friends and family!"

"They did a marvelous job cleaning up our neglected yard and got rid of that little black fence that's been driving me crazy since we purchased the property. The workers were prompt and very polite. If we were staying in the area we would be using this service for regular yard care."

"The crew came on time and were knowledgeable. Scaffold was setup in the morning and work began. The concrete cap was poured but it a awhile to take down the forms on the chimney but was not a big deal."

"I completely recommend The Diaz Group for all your landscaping needs. My husband and I hired them for our home to enlarge our existing tiny driveway, install pavers, lighting, complete make over of the front landscaping, backyard landscaping, lighting and pavers. Rafael showed us a virtual view of the landscaping by the help of some sophisticated software they use. =)   We were very excited to see it as it looked like a completely different home and so beautiful. All the work was completed on time to which we agreed.  I must say that everyone was professional and were experts in each of their tasks. They went about the job without any fuss and made sure that no damage to any property was made. I mention this because we had our work done the hottest week of this summer July 4th week-100 degree days all week!! Unbelievable how they worked in that heat!  Best quality of work and amount I've ever paid. Love everything!

"I had purchase the $1399 Deal to have paver stone patio installed in the back yard. Working with Maria, I decided to expand from 10x20 space to cover the entire width of my garage.  The additional price quoted was fair.  Because I purchased the service in October 2013, the weather was changing and the window of opportunity to install was small. Nevertheless, Maria and her crew were able to install the patio within 3 days (1 day had rain). 
The crew arrived promptly,  were courteous and were professional.  Maria remained on site supervising the work. I am please with the patio and plan to use the company for future landscaping project.

"Page, Mike and their staff are professionals who were a pleasure to work with.  I am an avid gardener and have installed many trees, shrubs and perennials in our garden over the years.  I wanted to find a landscape designer who was willing to save some of the stock and Page was one of the few designers we interviewed who agreed to do so.  Her knowledge of native plantings is extensive and her design sense is eclectic and creative.  The installation took approximately four days to complete.  Page's crew came to our home on time and left the premises in good shape at the end of each day.  Page and Mike maintained open communications throughout the job.  Page visited the site several times to supervise the installation and we are very pleased with the results.  I will add pictures to this review when the garden is in bloom.  I strongly recommend Townline Design.

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Buffalo Grove, IL

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.
