"Alex and team did a great job with my front yard. He scheduled a start time and was punctual. Installed 5 valves and connected associated sprinkler lines. Installed approx. 5 yards soil then rolled 500 sq ft sod. Next came the spit rail fence. Installed split rail fence to send it to the next level. All this working in nasty sticky clay soil. Job site was cleaned up as if they weren’t there. Thank you Alex and crew. Would definitely hire again."

After an initial consultation with the owner, John, who provided recommendations based on my vision for my front yard.

"Adam and team created an incredible customer experience from the first contact to completion of our project, which included removal of current lawn and the installation of over 10k sq ft of irrigation system and sod. Adam was very knowledgeable, professional, communicative and engaged in a way that gave us a tremendous comfort level. The quality of his work was outstanding , timeline was defined and met without any delays or setbacks. Pricing was very reasonable with no surprises. Adam was always present when he said he would be here and followed through on all his intentions (not an unusual expectation but becoming more and more the exception in today's world). I would highly recommend Adam and look forward to utilizing him again for any future projects."

"We had the pleasure of doing business with Nationwide Solar for the installation of our new system. We interviewed 4 providers total and Nationwide was not only the least expensive, but was also providing top of the line Panasonic panels. Frank and his very professional team installed and configured a 7.5kWh system on our home and had it installed and ready for inspection in 2 days. Sales: Frank (Owner) came to our house and was an instant hit compared to the competition. He is extremely knowledgeable and was a wealth of information and made it very easy to understand the technology and the process. His professionalism and wit made us feel comfortable and he was easy to converse with. He listened to our needs and guided us with multiple options and even cautioned us when we asked for certain items that we really would not see any return on, but like he said, I’ll do anything you want. Project Team: The team showed up when they said they would and got right to work. The site was always kept clean and orderly with no real mess. His team of installers and electrician were very professional and always eager to answer our questions. The only item we had a bit of an issue was the builder of our home putting in the incorrect gauge wire from the hook up to the interior electrical panel. Frank came onsite to check out the issue and easily and quickly fixed the issue, even though it was not his error. There was no drama and no additional charges, it just got fixed. they started on a Wednesday and finished up on the following Monday with two inspections by the city on Friday and Monday. Conclusion: Cradle to grave, Nationwide Solar is an outstanding organization and this project went very well. You’d be hard pressed to find anyone better and I have no problem recommending Nationwide Solar to any of my family and friends. Oh, make sure to ask Frank “What is the air velocity speed of an unladen shallow?”"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Carmichael, CA

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.
