Small jobs welcome

"We have had LandCore do a couple jobs for us. The first was a tear down of an old house on our property. From start to finish they were very professional and timely. They worked very well with the disposal company and made sure everything flowed smoothly. A few weeks later we called them back to give our driveway a rejuvenation. I was amazed at the amount of new packed rock their piece of equipment rolled to the top and leveled out without me having to order more stone. I will definitely be making a yearly call for this service!"

Customers say: Terrific value

"This company actually came to my house, the same say i placedmy request. he was very profrssional and after showing the area that needed the stone. He was prepared to give me a quote on the spot, and was able to provide the exact stone that I requested. he came the very next day and it took two days to finish the job properly. I was very happy that it was finished on time, since I only had a two day window to get the job finished. I would recommend this company, especially if your in a crunch on time. goid jb and thanks again for meeting my extremely short time line."

"My old chimney required a lot of work. The owner made sure the job was done right. I am very satisfied, and believe I got my moneyâ s worth. Both the owner and his crew were very polite and respectful, and cleaned up their work area well before leaving. The repaired chimney looks good."

"The person dumping the gravel made a mistake and spilled a pile of gravel. He apologized profusely and said his son would be out to spread it. His son shows up and a little while later knocks on my door; the neighbor's dog is "attacking" him and jumping on him hindering his efforts and he does not like dogs. My neighbor is at work so the son asks me if I am friendly with the dog, which I am, so he asks me to occupy the dog while he finishes up because "it won't take much longer" I just started my lunch break so I went down and entertained my neighbor's dog for what ended up being nearly an hour. I was working from home so I had to work 45 minutes longer because of it."

"Excellent, went above and beyond expected. My back yard was a mess: uneven, poorly built fence, lots of debris, water pooling, cracked uneven sidewalk. Patio is beautiful, very helpful in choosing pavers. But he went above the expected and used to extra dirt to even the back yard, lifted the uneven sidewalk, adjusted the fence and even put in a drain to prevent erosion to complete the job. Very professional. Would recommend."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Columbus, IN

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.
