"Drew and his team did an exceptional job making our landscaping dreams come to life. Drew was incredibly responsive and easy to work with. He kept us updated and did a great job of checking in during the process when little changes were possible/necessary. We are a new construction home in an established neighborhood, so we wanted a certain look. He installed rain gardens, a bio swale, a blue stone paver patio, concrete pads, arbor vitae, two retaining walls, a sprinkler system, and planter boxes, as well as planting many flowers, bushes, shrubs, etc., We are so happy and would 10/10 reccomend!"

"Great service getting our crumbling 2-track replaced with recycled asphalt, approximately a quarter of mile with turn around at top of ridge in Sharon Township. We contracted NEFF Trucking twice over two years, and the total result has been great. We are into the third year of lane use and no extra grading or maintenance has been required. Snow removal is easy, a concern for crushed asphalt, but not us. Likely thanks to their comprehensive rolling and grading during installation. They even helped repair neighbors lane ruts on shared private access."

"This company did a wonderful job on the pavers for the patio. It seem to be a difficult job due to the slope we have in the back yard. They executed the job great. We are very happy with the results. I would recommend them to my family and friends any day."

"We were very impressed with the responsiveness and how nice the owner was given that they couldn't provide the service that we would really rather do.  He reassured us that seeding would work and thanked us for at least calling him back for attempting to get a quote for seeding versus the hydroseeding.  I will definitely call MetroWest for any other estimates or other landscape needs in the future.  Very polite and professional which speaks volumes! <br />"

"Midwest Lightscapes is not the most inexpensive option, but it is tough to imagine a better one.  And despite the higher price point, you will still feel like you are getting value. <br /> Bud and Jane are efficient and professional.  They provide a full "at dusk" demonstration of the lighting plan based on the design they architect with you.  Their lighting scheme for your home is smart, beautiful, even revelatory, and the lighting equipment they install is gorgeous and of very high quality.  Outstanding on all accounts.  We were supremely satisfied and would recommend Midwest Lightscapes to anyone interested. <br />"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Chelsea, MI

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.
