"Will and his crew were very knowledgeable and professional throughout the entire process of the job they worked on for me. I bought a property and needed someone to excavate the land in order for me to build. Will came in and really helped me through the whole process. Not one time did I have to question or ask about anything. He is extremely knowledgeable and impressive! Go with Hrinko Excavating for your next job!"

"Owner showed up with a small crew and a crazy new piece of equipment. Excavated down below my foundation and to the septic tank. Came into the basement and jackhammered the floor. Removed all the old terracotta pipe inside and out. Installed all new PVC pipe all the way down to the septic tank. Put gravel down to protect the new pipe. Poured concrete in the basement to close the floor back up. Only took one day to get the new pipe in. Came back the next to close the ground and floor up. Great experience, basement no longer smell like sewage."

"Tremendously. I've had this gravel driveway done several times over the years and DC did the best job by far. Perfect edges. Nice and thick with a very even spread of material. The wall was removed without any trampling of the ground cover in front of it. I'm a little shocked to be honest. Kind of like the wall just disappeared. Pretty funny actually. Lastly, it wasn't in the contract but Dave added some mulch to even out the soil where the wall stood. Just great work with detail I didn't expect. Would definitely hire again."

"We contacted Greg at Omnipro to have pavers added to an existing backyard patio. Greg was great to deal with and his recommendation of which pavers to select was spot on. The work was done timely & the end result exceeded our expectations. The clean up & repair of our yard was also very good. One minor post install issue. Again, Omnipro was very responsive. Highly recommend."

"I contacted several contractors to request quotes for our project. Jason Palat was definitely the quickest to respond, and he offered the best price. He continued to provide excellent responsiveness leading up to and throughout the job. When I sent messages, he typically responded very quickly, usually within an hour. Once work began, it quickly became apparent that Jason and his crew are experienced and work very well together. They quickly had the remnants of the old retaining wall removed and carefully excavated in preparation for the new wall. Jason gladly answered all of our questions (and we had many) about the entire planning process. When we changed our plan and decided to replace our old steps as well, Jason and team quickly responded and made arrangements as needed for additional materials with no interruption or delays to the project. Maybe the most notable observation was the care and precision that Jason and his team put into their work, constantly checking and re-checking to make sure that everything was in alignment, level, and square. These guys are skilled craftsmen. When the job was finished, the whole area was thoroughly cleaned. The many minor details that we had discussed along the way were all addressed. And the adjustments to the price that resulted from plan changes and extra requests that we made along the way were handled fairly and clearly. Overall, it was a very professional job. And we’re extremely pleased with the results."

"About three months ago, we hired CRS Contracting to do foundation repairs and install new French drains in our home. My wife and I were concerned about costs and running into additional problems, but the crew was able to calm our fears and kept the whole project on track, even finishing earlier than expected! They were able to dig up our foundation, install new piping, fix the foundation, and waterproof the foundation UNDER our original budget, which was truly a blessing for our family. We enjoyed the experience we had with the crew and they showed up on time, worked efficiently and professionally, and were kind to myself, my wife, and our children. Great experience all around and we would highly recommend CRS Contracting!"

"This is Aleh's second job with us. Last summer we hired him for some outside work and he did such a fantastic job that we wanted him back to work on our fireplace.   <br>We took a very 'classic' looking fireplace with a large mirror, white wood mantel, brick hearth to a sleek dry stack stone  floor to ceiling. We love it, the stone looks great - everyone who has seen it is floored at the way the room has been transformed. <br>Mission accomplished! <br> <br>Aleh is great to work with. He is. very punctual and professional on the job. <br>He has good overall experience with stone and is a good sounding board for stone style and color. <br>He works quickly and efficiently, and I think has a good eye on placing the stone. His speed does not get in the way of his thoroughness and eye to detail. He is also good at cleaning up after the job is complete. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br>"

"Gary and his team are complete professionals and very personable, but most importantly complete the job with such pride in the quality of the work they know they performed for you. I seriously don't know who was more pleased with the final product, them or my wife and I. Their estimate was not the cheapest, nor the most expensive, but I knew I could trust Gary with making the cost worth it in the end as he doesn't cut corners and takes the time to assure you know what you are paying for and are getting exactly what you want. You get what you pay for, and it is always cheaper to do it once and know it was done right and to your expectations."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Butler, 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.
