"Collins Paving and Sealcoating pleasantly exceeded my expectations. Cody and his wife were exceptionally responsive and the driveway sealing was very professional work. Will hire again."

"This is the second project we hired JP Landscaping for, and I suggest that anyone else looking for landscaping or hardscaping work do the same. We obtained numerous quotes for both projects, and JP was always the most transparent, honest, and cheapest. We could not be happier with everything his team did for us--a retaining wall, patio, and fence. He totally transformed our back yard. He was patient as we worked through what exactly we wanted and our budget. Once we made a decision and he had the materials, his team showed up right away and worked hard. I highly recommend JP Landscaping for anyone's next project."

"Cody uses higher quality products than others, so his prices are slightly higher as a result, but really not by much at all. When you consider long term wear and lifetime of the asphalt it will end up saving you money over your lifetime of owning your home, so the 3% upfront is very well worth it. He is a skilled tradesman and does great work, he was efficient and through. I would gladly hire hm again for future resealing or if we were to move."

"Jonathon did a great job, and hustled to come out ahead of time to make sure I got exactly the service I needed. I wanted the three, full width cracks hot sealed, something the fly-by-night providers cannot/will not do. I wanted proper sealant, not the watered down "paint" the fly-by night providers use. He power-washed the entire driveway, sealed the cracks professionally, and placed the thick, asphalt-based sealant that will be good for several years, all for an exceedingly reasonable price. He did the work on one of the hottest days of the summer, and yet the coating looks good, with minimal brush marks that will soon vanish. I will call him again in a few years when next I need the driveway treated. Folks - spend the money to get your driveway sealed properly. The "paint" the cheap driveway sealers use is cosmetic only; it does not protect your investment..."

"Jeremy and his crew did an excellent job replacing a crumbling retaining wall and installing a new patio area. The planning process went smoothly (we debated materials and design a bit) and construction was completed on time by an incredibly efficient and hardworking crew. We found the pricing to be competitive and, when our original vision was not within budget, Jeremy worked with us to find materials that were attractive and more affordable. He also checked in on the job site daily and with us often during construction."

"They did a good job. It was a nice, clean cut. They didn't leave any grass residue that I had to rake up. They didn't over mulch. They cut in different directions when they come, which is good."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Dale City, VA

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.
