"Mr. Cribb didn't hesitate in the least when asked if he could do a rush job.. even though he had just come in from a very lengthy day. He immediately survived the plans and went right to work. Even though it wasn't a very detailed project, he completed everything despite having to work into dusk. A very impressive experience. We would highly recommend this owner/operator. Well done!"

"Junk King let us down and, at the last minute, refused to take 1/3 of our "junk" which was a big pile of bricks. I immediately called Dave Post and he agreed to take them off our hands at his earliest opportunity. He showed up on the day agreed, earlier than his normal advertised working hours, and moved the pile in a matter of minutes at a great price. Also my father in law will sometimes hire him for landscape maintenance (I think landscaping is his core business) so he comes "double recommended.""

"I would never hire Platinum Lawn & Landscaping 2 LLC again. Brandon charged us $400 to do weed removal and lawn receding. Job was rushed and done in just one week and the only word I can use to describe it is lousy. Instead of a new grass, weeds were back in just two weeks. He never came back to check whether grass is growing, and when we called to ask to fix it, he just hanged up and stopped picking up his phone, when he saw that we were calling. Not professional. He convinced us to hire his firm and pay that much money, because he told that knows what he is doing, obviously he does not. If you decide to hire him for lawn work, pay him not when the job is done, but when you see a green lawn that was our mistake."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Burlington, NC

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.
