"They called to move our first appointment up, which I thought was great. Showed up on time looked at the job and gave me a quote in about 5 minutes. I thought the quote was very good so I ask when they could get it done and was told he would have someone there in the morning which was wonderful. Very friendly crew from start to finish for the entire process was 24 hours and the driveway looks great and the neighbors want to know who did the job. I would say they will have more work in our neighborhood. I plan to have them install a new fence for me next."

"Jose did an excellent job with planting over 20 bushes and shrubs and he leveled the top soil and spread and compacted mulch in my front yard. His prices were very reasonable and I would recommend him again. In fact I have contracted him to build a retainer wall in my back yard."

"I couldn't be more thrilled with the transformation of my lawn, thanks to The Earthscape Company! From start to finish, Ryan and his team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to quality. They completely redid my lawn, turning it from a patchy mess into a lush, green oasis. The installation of the irrigation system was seamless and has been a game-changer, ensuring my lawn stays healthy with minimal effort on my part. The crew was punctual, respectful, and left the site immaculate each day. They took the time to explain the entire process, offered valuable advice on lawn care, and were incredibly responsive to any questions I had. The attention to detail and the pride they take in their work is evident in every square foot of my lawn. If you're looking for a company that combines top-notch service with outstanding results, look no further than The Earthscape Company.

"The project went perfectly. Jonathan Edwards, the owner, and his crew did exactly what was quoted and did the work very professionally. Rock was added to expand the existing sea wall to prevent erosion at the corner of our lakefront property. Additional rock was added to the rest of the sea wall to bolster it. Edwards Grading removed a number of dead trees and associated debris from the edge of the lake. The work was accomplished using a Caterpillar excavator mounted on a large barge. Mr. Edwards operated the excavator with amazing precision. Jonathan installed over half a barge-load of rock and removed approximately three trees in only four hours. Amazing! Whenever there was a question as to how to proceed, Jonathan made sure that we agreed on the plan and then executed it accordingly. My wife and I could not be happier with the services that his company provided!"

"We had a great experience with The Stoneman. From the first point of contact until the project was complete they were always in communication with us. In a day when it can be so hard to get contractors to respond to you this was very refreshing. We submitted a request online and Chris called the next day. He showed up exactly when he said he would and took time to walk through all of the details of our project with us. We had a stone patio that was sinking due to poor construction. We ended up having the patio reconstructed and added a small sitting wall and fire pit. After listening to what we wanted, Chris created a drawing that showed what the project would look like at the very end. It was so nice to be able to look at the finished product up front and be able to make tweaks as needed. Once the drawing was complete we were added to the project list and were sent weekly updates letting us know the approximate time our project would begin. Once our project was about to start we were assigned a project manager. The project manager visited us ahead of time to go over any questions before beginning the work. The crew that came onsite was very professional and never left a mess. If we had any questions during the project then the project manager would respond immediately and all concerns were addressed immediately. We have never worked with such a responsive and professional company. We would definitely recommend and would use them in the future."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Cornelius, NC

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.
