"Excellent work. I needed to schedule the project between another one which pushed the schedule into the late fall. While many other's were not doing small projects or had closed down for the year, Kevin appraised exactly how the special issues could be addressed in one day. He and his work partner worked together very well, both hard workers and accommodating to special minor details. I highly recommend this company for excavations."

"In beginning of June, we paid our deposit and then found out that the plan was to install siding in September. We asked if there was a possibility to move that timing up and they were able to squeeze us in mid-July. Was super excited but then received an email about a week before we thought the siding project would start asking if we wanted the outer corners to match the color we had selected and if so, there was an upcharge and that "non-stock colors" were running about 45 days to order so they would need to push back the date by 45 days. This was never discussed during the sales process. I expressed my concern and Joni was able to locate the outer corners and adjust the schedule to start in end of July and agreed to cover the "upcharge" since this was something new to her as well. Then, she told us that we need to pick soffit/fascia colors, but that anything other than white would require a week or two delay. But then she called back and said she was able to pull some strings and find the color we had requested. So, lots and back and forth about dates. We also had a mason scheduled to come after the siding install so we had to communicate all these changes with him. it was a bit frustrating with all the date changes. Seems like things that CHI should already be aware of and should know to prep the customers upfront and let them know the dependencies on starting the project. When the job started, the team all showed up on time every day. They did a really nice job on the siding and soffits/fascia. That is why I gave them an “A” for quality, but was disappointed with the following: 1.) Poor communication from the start to the end of the actual work. Pat saw some rotting wood while doing the work and replaced it. He never mentioned the cost or asked about it before proceeding forward with the work. While we appreciate his proactiveness, I feel like he should have asked us (if he was going to charge us for it) before doing the work. In any event, he told us about it after the fact and I just saw a line item on our invoice for the work. He also barely communicated with us while he was here. Didn't know when the dumpster was getting removed or what to do with the material left. 2.) We have found numerous screws, nails and sharp metallic options around our house. No one even mentioned that we should be careful moving around outside. This is especially bothersome as we have little kids running around. 3.) Everything was collected on the final day, BUT the porta potty. There was no communication around when it would be picked up either. To be fair, the job was complete on Friday morning and it was picked up by Monday afternoon, but it would have been nice for someone to let us know the plan since it was sitting in our driveway. My biggest complaint with this company is their lack of communication. This is a lot of money to be spending and the project management is less than desirable."

"My wife and I decided to take on a large renovation project to completely remodel the bathroom, redo the exterior of the house, fix a plumbing problem, add ventilation to the kitchen, replace some old windows, update a majority of the storm windows, add an electrical outlet for HVAC in the attic, custom French door to the closet, repair some drywall and upgrade the kitchen sink.  We used Northrup on a previous project so we asked them to bid on the project.  Just like the previous project, their vision and proposal perfectly matched our style so it was an easy decision.  Also, their expertise in older houses showed a more accurate price than their competitors so the end cost was 100% spot on when it was time to pay the bill.  <br /> In regards to the owner, team lead/project manager and extremely talented engineers, carpenters, painters, plumbers, etc. they showed a tremendous amount of care for our house, opinions and vision.  So if you are high maintenance and expecting perfection, Northrup is the company for you. <br /> 1. Exterior of the house: The house was painted, a new mailbox was installed, a new house number plate was installed, new storm windows were installed and custom pediments above the main windows were installed. <br /> 2. Gut and remodel bathroom: Everything was replaced in the bathroom.  We went with the top of the line fixtures, tile, ventilation, electrical and paint.  Their team is so talented and now we have a small spa in our house. <br /> 3. Ventilation in the kitchen: We were unable to cook steaks because there was no ventilation in the kitchen.  They implemented a custom ventilation with custom woodwork covering the ventilation pipes.  <br /> 4. New kitchen faucet and fixed plumbing problem: This sounds simple but it was not.  We had water leaks and they showed us why it happened.  In summary, they fixed a serious water problem and made it look beautiful. They also installed a new faucet and cabinet hardware. <br /> 5. Electrical for HVAC: We decided to wait on installing air conditioning and opted to focus on other projects, but in preparation for a later project, they performed the electrical work in the attic.  Without opening any walls, they spent 4 hours carefully pulling the wires through the wall.  Amazing. <br /> 6. Custom French doors to the walk-in closet: This also sounds like a simple job but is was extremely difficult.  They put the most beautiful framing around doors, installed antique brass/crystal door handles, matched the new wood flooring to the old flooring and installed floor mounted door latches so the doors don?t rattle when the windows are open. <br /> Special thanks goes out to the owner (Mark) and the team lead/project manager (Ron) for amazing job.  We love all of it! <br />"

"<p>We had previously worked with Chris and his crew on replacement of a failing timber retaining wall with a contoured block version. That earlier work involved demolition and removal of treated posts and lumber while extending a pre-existing section using an Anchor block product. The segmented, angular wall was replaced by a contoured design that provided more room for a prized shade tree. During this initial, 2012 phase, we found Chris very easy to work with. He was receptive to our concepts and offered constructive comments- we didn't want a deferential contractor that would let us make bad choices. Chris speaks up in a respectful way. The crew happily worked with street pavers that were on-site. <br /> That earlier work turned out so nicely that we resolved to continue the project the in 2013 as our vision for completion firmed up. There are obvious advantages to completing the entire job at once, but even using design software, it is difficult to feature how it will all turn out. Change orders and call-backs are no fun for anyone. For us, it worked to live with an incomplete project for a few seasons to really know what we wanted.<br />  <br /> The 2013 work would involve constructing low planters in both the front and back yards, extending the patio work in the back yard, adding edgers and completing sod work. Chris returned with the same crew (a plus for us) and was rarely not on site himself during either project. This work was complicated by an impending family reunion. To avoid damaging existing landscaping, most of this second phase was completed with wheelbarrows and hand tools.  Once again, there were design and material selection considerations as well as technical issues, including rainwater management.  There was no objection to the owners contributing labor. In turn, we tried to stay ahead of the crew or out of the way.</p> <br /> The entire project is now complete- we are delighted and have received nothing but compliments. <br /> <br />"

"Everything about my experience with Outdoor Solutions was positive. Jim was very easy to work with, flexible, and timely in his response to my questions. I was very appreciative that his company was willing to take on a smaller deck repair job. I had contacted at least 6 other companies over the last year, looking for someone willing to come out and fix two deck posts that were heaving out of the ground and pushing up one corner of my deck. Most companies refused to even call me back, and the others were not willing to look at my problem unless I wanted a complete tear-down and rebuilding of my deck. It seems that most companies don't want anything to do with customers who won't or can't spend $30,000 or more on a project, so I was thrilled that Jim was willing to have someone from one of his crews come work on my deck. He sent out Joshua to do the work less than a week after contacting him. I couldn't believe the quick response and the flexibility Outdoor Solutions provided in order to fit my repair project in around other larger projects. Joshua's work was exceptional in all ways. In my opinion, he did the work of a 2-man crew and worked until everything was perfect. He took pride in his work and was very detail-oriented. In addition, he was very friendly, courteous, professional, and hard-working. I am now able to enjoy my deck for the rest of the summer. Thanks to both Jim and Joshua, I had a very positive experience, and would definitely recommend Outdoor Solutions Inc., whether it is for a small deck repair or the installation of a brand new deck."

"<p>We just completed our project with Pine Ridge, and could not be more pleased with the results. Jacob and his crew were incredible from start to finish.</p> <p>We had a very large project, and got numerous proposals before we started. Jacob's was by far the best in terms of his vision for our property and his willingness to accept our input. He was confident that he could do all we asked of him within the budget provided, and even broke up the project into phases so we could decide what to do now, and what to save for a later date.</p> <p>The crew was very professional from day one. They worked efficiently, were very polite, and cleaned up after themselves each day. The project took about 3 weeks from start to finish, and it was impressive to see it all come together. </p> <p>Jacob isn't just the owner either. He gets his hands dirty and was there right alongside his crew grading, planting trees, laying sod, spreading mulch, you name it. What stood out to us the most that he treated his crew incredibly well, and they clearly respect his leadership. </p> <p>Oh, the best part? We gave him a budget for the project, and he came in significantly underneath it! </p> <p>Start to finish, this was by far the best experience we have had with a contractor of any kind. We will be wholeheartedly recommending Pine Ridge to all of our friends, and will use them for all of our landscaping and tree care needs in the future!</p> <p><br /></p> <br />"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Delano, MN

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.
