"One of the most professional companies I have ever worked with period! From Dean and Mike all the way through the office and crew. Due to the time of year we booked several weeks in advance. The office confirmed the appointment in advance and the crew showed up on time. Not just a couple of guys with shovels but a full crew with all the equipment. The quality of matches they did not cut any corners. The mulch and rock are very deep. Each night they left the site clean and when finished even graded and seeded the open area used to access the yard. Our backyard is very visible and we have gotten many compliments from people in the neighborhood. Sine completing the job Dean and Mike both have checked in to make sure that we are still happy with the work."

"Jim gave me an estimate on installing sod. He was one of three bids I got. His was a bit higher than the others, but I really liked him, and felt that he would have done a good job had we used his services. We ended up using a local sod farm to install the sod, as we were selling our house and needed it done in a quicker time frame than any of the landscapers could do it. Jim and his administrative staff were friendly, courteous and quick to respond to calls and emails. <br />"

"Elysa created a design that met all my specifications and was more creative than had envisioned. The design process was accomplish in a few weeks with multiple meetings. The installation was scheduled to start soon after the design was finished, and was completed quickly. There were a few minor issues with the installation, which were corrected quickly to my satisfaction. Overall Timberline did a great job and was a pleasure to work with."

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