"Our project w/Habiscapes went very well. Michael and his team were easy to communicate with, worked collaboratively, had good ideas and performed quality work. In addition, Michael was very willing to help us blend cost-saving "do-it-yourself" ideas w/his services. To get his team into your yard, which I definitely recommend, make sure to plan ahead. Have a clear idea of the work (from a designer, which he can steer you to, or from your sketch pad) before reserving your spot because he has a packed calendar in the key gardening months. We're thoroughly enjoying our updated landscaping!"

"We have been in a 5 year renovation of a 100 year old home in Boise's north end.  This year, it was time to have the 678 sq. ft. paver patio installed in what had become nothing but dirt back yard.  Of the 3 bids received, we chose Far West Landscape because they took time to fully understand our drainage concerns with the house's sandstone foundation.  Gus Hess visited the site multiple times and brought in a consultant from the paver company to assist with planning the right solution  <b>before</b> submitting their bid.  They were not the least expensive bid, but we had confidence they understood and had planned for our issues.   <br>They showed up on time and completed the project within the planned time frame.  The work ethic, professionalism and attention to detail by the crew was outstanding.  When we ran into an unplanned issue with the sandstone foundation, the consultant was brought in to discuss and recommend a solution.  They repaired and integrated an old sandstone basement entry and agreed to use an historical lime based mortar recipe (provided by us) to help with controlling spalling, even though this was a technique new to them.  The work site was cleaned up each day and left clean at the end of the project. <br>The biggest compliment we can pay is that they LISTENED to us before, during and after the project and were as willing to learn from us as we were from them. <br>We are extremely happy with the look of the permeable paver patio and, a month in, the drainage is working as promised.  We would highly recommend Gus, Rance, Adrian and the entire crew for any hardscape project.   <br>"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Donnelly, ID

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.
