"Jon has been wonderful to work with. When I first met him for a consultation, I knew that I wanted to work with him because of his design sense. He had other clients contracted before me, but he was worth the wait. Jon's attention to detail really makes the design come alive. He does not cut corners. Jon answered all of my questions throughout the whole project. The deck was installed in late November/December 2018. The courtyard was installed in Spring 2019. Jon also built a trellis, bench, and a 6x6 foot planter with a cap for seating. Lighting was installed and the courtyard is very inviting at night as well as day time. Jon helped me pick out some of the plants and his team installed them. Our gutters were rerouted to correct some problems. I look forward to working with Jon on future projects. We have people commenting daily on our beautiful front landscaping."

"Very pleased with the design and work that was completed. Our home was new construction so it was a blank dirt canvas. The design was one I would not have thought of or one that came from others that provided a bid. It is beautiful! From the hardscape and steps to the trees & the bed design. I am looking forward to phase two of the design which we hope to do next year. Thank you Jon & Joel!"

"We purchased beautiful granite from AMF. There were some issues with the installation. AMF attempted to resolve these issues. Understand that the granite you buy may not be sealed well. I would recommend buying a quality sealant and applying it yourself after the install. You should insist that all of the glue is removed before doing so. If you plan to have an overhang that is 12” or larger, be sure to install metal brackets for support prior to the installation. AMF will not install brackets for you. Also, run your hand across all of the edges to find any minor chips or cracks that need repair before the installers leave your residence. Check your dish washer to be sure that it is aligned evenly before the granite is glued on top of it. Lessons that you live and learn."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Danville, IL

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.
