"We hired Magic Landscaping, Marvin McCoy and his crew. Which did an amazing job giving us the marvelous gravel driveway. That we really wanted. Marvin was patient with us he was kind, friendly, and showed us what we could do. To achieve the look we wanted. It was excellent work and I was going to take pictures but it's dark outside. Magic landscaping is the way to go if you want excellent at Landscaping whatever the job is. Very good, a fine job. It was like 3-4 hours. We loved our gravel driveway. "

"They arrived on time and they spread the job out sufficiently enough to permit cement base and mortar to cure before acid washing. They left the job site very clean. As a bonus they cleaned the mildewed sidewalks."

"After searching for awhile for someone to repair the steps/railing leading into our house, PK Masonry was the only company that was willing to do the small job in a timely manner. When we met at my house to check out the job, we were given several options at a range of price points. Once a solution was decided, we were told the steps that would need to be taken for the most successful outcome. It was one of the easiest and stress free home repairs we have done in quit some time. Highly recommend."

"We engaged Outdoor Makeover to conduct a complete overhaul of our yard. We had a tremendous experience working with Charles and his crew led by Yovani who addressed drainage issues for our front walkway, install irrigation, sod, a stone paver patio, and various plants and shrubs to improve the look of our yard. The crew was professional, punctual, and communicative. They worked with us on a detailed design plan that addressed all of our wants and needs and were able to get the entire job completed in quick fashion once they got started. Overall we had a great experience and definitely recommend for any yard transformations."

"Very nice and professional. Realize that the offer is for about 5 cu yds of mulch and order extra depending on your needs. They spread the mulch for the same price I usually pay just for purchase and delivery of the same amount."

"Worked with Jesse to setup a time for them to come out and do the job. <br /> They excavated front and back yard then left bobcat and all the equipment and went away for three days, saying sod wasn't available from the farm. <br /> Came back and put down the sod and left. <br /> Sod wasn't leveled correctly in the backyard and front yard and had weeds growing out in the next couple of weeks. <br /> They were also supposed to clean out under my deck but never came back to finish that job. No response upon contacting Jesse. <br /> <br />"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Decatur, GA

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.
