"I contracted with AMC to repair my gravel driveway after my sewer line was installed. Sam told me he would install the landscape ties if I got them. I did and drilled holes thru them for spikes to anchor them. His workers removed the old ties and attempted to install the new ones. They had no hammers for the spikes and had to use ones I gave them. The ties are not straight and there are gaps between them (end are not flush where the meet.) Some ends are higher then the others. The day before the install Sam asked me what kind of stone I wanted and I told him give me what is already there #57 crushed blue stone. The day of the install he ignored my request and took it upon himself and showed up with pea gravel. (can not blow grass clippings out without blowing gravel). He had dropped 3/4 of the load before I went outside before I realized what he did .He said it was more expensive (a whole $10 a ton more but you don't need as much). He did not do what was requested and had delivered poor workmanship. I would not hire or trust him again."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Dover, DE

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.
