"Mario and his team were excellent. When they arrived they started to work immediately removing the old bushes, trimming existing plants, clearing the beds, adding new plants/bushes , mulch and planting grass seeds. They even fixed a part of my brick wall that was missing some stones. They did a great job!"

"DSR was great to work with and were planning use this firm on several future projects. Drew, the owner, is incredibly skilled at his craft and was simply fascinating to watch as he measured, demolished and ultimately replaced with great skill a wall we asked him to remove and replace with glass doors. He was efficient in his work, and patient with us in explaining what he was doing and what he needed from us at every step of the way. We found him to be very personable with a great sense of humor. But most importantly, his work was superior: from demolition; to installation; to finish; to clean up; to follow up, Drew left no stone unturned and was determined to make sure we were satisfied with the job. And we are VERY satisfied, so much so that we are discussing a few future projects. I cannot say this enough: my wife and I ENTHUSIASTICALLY ENDORSE DSR Builders!!!!"

"Exceeded our expectations! The owner of Warren's Landscaping, Matt, is extremely knowledgeable of all aspects of landscaping and hardscaping. They did all of our landscaping in the front of our house and the back, around the patio and putting green they had put in. He helped us design our patio which was complete with a fire pit and a chipping green with a putting hole. He also built us a 3 hole putting green about 35 yards across from our patio, so we can chip over to the green and have lots of family fun on the putting green. It turned out better than we were even expecting and the added stone walkway from our deck looks outstanding. Matt was very fair with pricing and all of his workers were very nice and respectful! Will definitely work with again!"

"AquaProof did many things well. They showed up to provide a quote when they said. Price was reasonable especially since a quote from another company was 3x more. The work crew was on time, hardworking and courteous. They left my yard in good shape when done."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Cincinnati, OH

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.
