"Titan did a magnificent job on my property during the past week. I needed the following done: Grading work on my 3 acre property and three different types of rocks delivered. I also needed additional black dirt brought in to make it perfect. From start to finish the communication was excellent with Will. He let me know what time they would get to my job and everything that was going on during the work process. This is something that a lot of contractors just fail to do in my past experiences. They provide top notch equipment, with many different attachments for various types of jobs during the entire process. This ensures that the job is done correctly, the first time! Lastly, customer service could not be better. They (Will and Tim) stayed with the job until I was completely satisfied. Always keeping a great attitude no matter how many questions I asked. Even going the extra nine yards finishing the job better than I expected. "

"I called Worth back after the Derecho happened in August of 2020 to get a quote to have my roof redone and to have some soffit damaged repaired. Kenney helped us through the process and they were able to provide me the best quote I could get. Spring came and finally work could be started, they collected the first payment for roof and soffit material. Roofers started work on a Friday, worked all day. Saturday comes around some workers show up at my house (I'm assuming to finish work) but instead they show up for about an hour to pick up some items they left behind. Sunday the same happens, they show up to pick up some items for about 30 minutes and leave again. Monday they show up again for 30 minutes get on the roof and pick up the remainder of their items and leave. No communication to what's going on at all. We call Worth to see what is going on/when they will come get their dumpster out of our driveway because we don't have access to park our vehicles and see when they will be coming back to complete the work. They told us they were done working on the roof and because we called to get a quote on siding they didn't touch the soffit because they would complete it when we do new siding (we contacted them to get a quote, but did not agree to move forward with new siding.) They said by mid week they would be back out to complete work. Next day Kenney comes to my home to collect payment, I had the check cut out for the remainder of the work (labor for the roof and soffit repair) but did not feel comfortable with giving him payment until the job was fully completed. I asked if he could wait until they finished the remainder the work which is supposedly going to be within 3 days and he said no he needed to collect payment then. I have two small children and my husband works an 8-5 schedule so it's not easy for me to just get in the car and go to the bank especially within COVID season when my son had a heart condition to go get new checks cut. I told Kenney when I get time I will try and go to the bank to get new checks printed but he needed the check then or a time where he could come back to pick them up, he literally would not leave my house until I could provide him with a new check or time. I honestly felt really threatened and just gave him the check even though I felt really uncomfortable with it. He told me he would email me later that day to confirm work will be done on that Thursday to complete everything, didn't hear anything. Called back the next day to confirm if work will be done, was told "they would have to check to see if they have enough material to be able to complete the job" I had already paid for the material yet, they didn't have material. Finally a week later they came and finished their job. The work they did was good, very disappointed in the lack of communication and professionalism."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Des Moines, IA

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.
