"Chris came out initially to take a look at the back yard and to discuss the project. I had asked him to put together a design based on some initial ideas and requirements of our own. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about installing patios. We discussed some issues with needing to improve water run off from the back of the house. We were in contact numerous times before start day to refine the design and choose pavers and lighting. Chris was always very responsive to my emails and calls and always pleasant to talk with. On start day, he showed up with his crew and a slew of machinery to excavate and prepare the base for the patio. He worked with me to mark off the perimeter and shape of the patio. When the size of the patio ended up bigger than what I had initially sent as measurements (my error), he didn’t complain- he just said he would order the additional pavers and we’d adjust the final invoice. I had asked him to try and not rip up the surrounding lawn too much and so they laid plywood and made sure that the skidsteers and other trucks stayed on that one small area. This was a real sign of their professionalism to me. I was amazed how the patio took shape in just 1 week. The crew worked through blistering heat and never complained. At the end of week 1, the patio was installed minus the final 4 cap lights since we had to wait for the lights to arrive. I make a partial payment to Chris for the work completed and then 1 week later, he came out and finished the lighting and worked through the electrical hook-ups to the house with our electrician on that day. We used pavers from a vendor who Chris uses and I was pleased with the look of what we chose. The pavers were installed well and Chris used polymeric sand to hold them in place. The job site was cleaned up every night and they moved excavated soil and aggregate base and we never had a “mess” at the house. Part of the project involved them ripping out a concrete landing outside of our adjacent garage access door and I never saw the broken concrete because they just hauled it away. Overall the patio looks incredible and I wouldn’t have asked for a better experience with an installer than what we got with Chris and his crew. I felt that the pricing of the project was very fair and that Chris and his guys were dedicated to finishing the patio as quickly as possible."

"Went well.  There was some damage to the existing asphalt that I had planned on leaving so the apron had to be enlarged.  Price of the extra work was split.  Had to remind them to pack the sidewalk area, but when I did they got right on it. They did me a "favor" of leaving a bunch of class 5 for paver base which turned out to be way too gravely so I had to remove it, but I consider that my fault as I didn't look at what they were offering me. <br /> <br /> Update:  Over the winter the new concrete heaved causing there to be standing water in the garage which froze the garage door shut, caused some cracking, etc. Now I also see degradation of the asphalt where the two join together so I'll probably have to replace that in the future. I tried to contact Final Grade about the heaving last winter and got no response so I sent an email.  Never heard from them.  I doubt there is a solution at this point, but I wish I had never had the work done."

"Arabella Stone did excellent work. It is absolutely beautiful! They completely rebuilt sections as needed, and replaced nearly all the mortar on the outside of the house. It is now solid and looks wonderful. They also cleaned up the limestone wall in a bathroom basement. We love how it turned out. We would highly recommend Arabella. It was clear when we met Daniel how much he loves working with stone. He is a true craftsman."

"From start to finish Eric coordinated everything with the city, contractors, and turned our backyard from a trees and weeds disaster zone into a beautifully landscaped backyard.  We still talk about how impressed we were with the speed of this huge project (start to finish, under a month!) while never cutting a corner.  Eric won't allow you to cut a corner, and now that the project is finished, we know why.   Every inch of the project turned out according to the design and engineered layout.  Eric was constantly on site and involved with every step.  We are so impressed with him, his crew and the way it all turned out.  A huge thanks to Boulder Works. <br />"

"Matt and his team did an excellent job installing the landscaping at our new home. We had a very challenging lot with drainage issues, and Matt did a great job working with our builder to make sure that we maintained the integrity of the finish grading. He was also very helpful in giving direction and guidance as we collaborated on the design. We had numerous changes throughout the project and he was always excellent at providing an updated quote so we knew where we were at for our budget. Overall, we were extremely pleased with the work that was done and have received numerous complements from our neighbors and friends in regard to the final product. We highly recommend Matt and his team, and will collaborate with him again on a couple additional projects we're planning. <br />"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Cold Spring, MN

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.
