"Meticulous work. Knowledgeable crew. After trying others and pricing out other potential contractors, there is no comparison. Kuhlman's is by far best value for money. (Though I would not recommend their snow removal service as highly)"

"We have had a fantastic experience with Xtracare from day 1! They are extremely communicative and focused on customer service. They worked with us through several landscape design iterations with detailed drawings and pictures of plants they would be using, and did a beautiful and efficient job during installation. When we had questions or concerns following their work, they quickly got back to us to address any issues. Xtracare clearly cares about quality and keeping their promises. We look forward to working with them for future projects as well. Thank you Xtracare!"

"Great experience. The previous reviews were spot-on. This business is all Lazaro - you deal with Lazaro from the beginning and Lazaro is there every day throughout the job. He is personable, patient, explains everything clearly, is prompt, responsive, reasonably priced, sensitive to budget, creative coming up with solutions for unique situations, and flexible on scheduling and on changes that may come up during the job. I could tell he was the one when I first met him; he measured everything and listened carefully to my concerns and suggestions. This is entirely unlike the other highly-rated Angie's List big business from which I requested an estimate, who sent a young marketing guy out who provided a fancy folder, did not really listen (just kept saying "yeah, we can do that, and we'll throw in some other things at no additional cost"), took no measurements and provided an outrageous quote. I've attached a before and after picture. My driveway pavers were spreading apart due to poor drainage due to tire pressure over time. In addition to reinforcing the substructure and sloping the driveway correctly away from the house, Lazaro came up with solutions including beautiful gravel side drains and reinforcing the previously spread-apart area with a concrete border hidden under the gravel. He also reset our fence post that had been rising due to the poor drainage and installed a downspout drain under the reset driveway with a pop-up drain on the other side instead of having the downspout pour directly onto the pavers, which also may have led to our previous problems. And he was creative in redistributing our oil-stained pavers in a random pattern so they wouldn't be as noticeable. Great job."

"Wonderful work, very professional, and cost competitive company. 3-years later no issues. Kevin and his team came in to put a nice flagstone staff 8x45 ft patio in next to our house to replace the grass. It was completed quickly and when there was a minor issue that cropped up within 4-months due to bad stones from the quarry, they came back to replace asap. 100% confidence and would hire again. Thanks guys!"

"We're thrilled with the job Custom Stonescape did. The work looks beautiful--can't wait til the weather warms up to start enjoying our beautiful new backyard! They were consumate professionals, from bid through the execution which went in 2 phases, the major phase being the hardscape piece, and in the spring, the planting piece. Horacio, the project manager, was incredibly responsive and diligent. His guys worked really hard day after day, and acted immediately on any feedback or questions I occassionally had. I'd highly recommend using them for a job of any size!"

"This was my second project with Alvaro and the results are outstanding. The project involved installing a French drain system that included catch basins for roof down spout gutters and sump pump drainage, and channel drains for patio. The catch basins and channel drains led to a drainage pipe, which discharges water at the end of driveway into the street. After several months of observation with heavy downpours, The results are outstanding as this has resolved several issues (sump pump drainage, standing water in yard and runoff water from patio). Alvaro is very meticulous in his work and pays attention to detail."

"We want to share with you how pleased we are with the work James and his crew from Apex Masonry did on our new permeable driveway which looks beautiful. We’ve gotten many compliments from neighbors. It is often frustrating for homeowners to find a reliable contractor but James is highly professional and personable and his crew is friendly and hard working. He gave us a comprehensive scope of work and a price and delivered exactly what he said he would do on the schedule he provided. James clearly explained all facets of the work and how his crew would accomplish each task. We wholeheartedly recommend Apex Masonry and James and am sure you will be as satisfied as we are."

"We were looking to have a basketball court in our backyard for awhile and couldn't find anyone who could come up with a suitable design/product that would work in our backyard at a reasonable price until we talked to Capitol Hardscapes. Chris came to our house and came up with a solution and location for the basketball court with materials that would be durable and look nice. Capitol Hardscapes came out to do the work when promised and the crew was professional, completed the work on time and cleaned up everything afterwards. We are planning to use Capitol Hardscapes again for an upcoming patio project. We highly recommend their work."

"I was very impressed all around with the professionalism and skill of this organization. To begin with, the owner made time to meet with me to prepare an estimate after normal business hours on the same day that I called him in order to accommodate my schedule. I was very apprehensive about this project given the proximity of these large trees to my house and also because the trunks were only a few feet away from a new fence. The owner understood my concerns and personally supervised the work. The crew arrived promptly and they worked carefully and neatly, completing the work in only 2 days, when other companies quoted 3-4 to complete it. The crew was very skilled with climbing, saws, ropes, etc. and no collateral damage was done to my own property or that of my neighbors. Overall, I couldn't have been happier with the quality and customer service I received and for a very good price. <br />"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Chevy Chase, MD

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.
