"Premium cost, failed to meet expectations When visiting my home to assess what I needed, several details regarding problems in my landscaping were discussed, that I assumed were understood and included in the bid they then provided. After the work was done this week, while I was at work and not here to monitor, I came home to find that these details were missed. When following up with them, all they would stand behind was what was specifically noted on the bid, not the expectations I walked away with. These expectations factored into my decision to choose them over other bids. This bid was the highest one I obtained, and I chose it because I knew I wouldn’t be here to monitor the work was done to my satisfaction. I guess you don’t always get what you pay for. Tips for whoever chooses to do business with these folks – 1) Make sure every expectation is explicitly noted on the bid you sign for the work; 2) Be home when the work is being done to ensure all the expectations are being met, and the work isn’t rushed; and 3) Don’t put too much faith in a landscape company that is mostly known for their weekly talk-radio landscaping show."

"I put out a request on Angie list and the Company Soggy Bottom contacted me and I accepted their offer to clean out my septic tank. They arrived on the scheduled date; the tank was cleaned; the company was paid in cash. Now I have this issue of the raw sewage collecting on top of the tank again this have never been a issue pre-service with Soggy Bottom my deceased father had the tank cleaned when I moved in the house 26 plus year ago, and I've never had an issue until now. Maybe I chose the wrong Company to do business with."

"We used Don’s in Vestavia to order tile for a bathroom project because years ago I used Don’s in Trussville to do my tile floors in my kitchen and bathrooms and had such a wonderful experience working with them. The experience with the Vestavia store has completely soured us on Don’s and we won’t be using them again for future projects we have for our house. As our project progressed, it became obvious the employee we were working with at Don’s, Steven Kitchens, did not know how to order tile or supplies based on measurements provided by our contractor. He ordered no bullnose tile and when our contractor called to find out where it was, he stated “It was supposed to be on your order”. So we had to pay expedited shipping to get the tile in since the job was in progress. We also ordered a Schluter pan system from them, which my husband found out after doing a quick Google search, requires UNMODIFIED thinset. Steven ordered us MODIFIED thinset, something we could not use for the shower pan system we bought from them. When we asked the manager at the store for a refund on the thinset that was mistakenly ordered by them, he refused. His reasoning was that he offered our contractor to exchange the thinset and they decided to purchase from another store. The reason they chose to do that is because Don’s supply store is located approximately 45 minutes from our house and there is both a Lowe’s and Home Depot within 5 minutes of our house. Our contractors had already been running back and forth to their store several time for other minor ordering issues, including Steven not ordering the appropriate amount of backer board. So I would prefer them go to a closer store for supplies when we were having to pay for their time. At the end of the project we had so much overage for subway tile and an 8x8 mosaic tile that was over $3.60 a tile. Steven had ordered us 3 boxes of subway tile, and we had 1 and a half boxes of untouched tile left over. The expensive mosaic tile was even more grossly misordered in my opinion, since it was purchased by the tile. We enlarged the section where we used this tile AFTER getting in the tile, going from 55 pieces to 66 pieces. We were left with 21 additional pieces of tile! If using the original plan that was measured and provided to Steven, we would have had an overage of 32 pieces of tile. At $3.60 a piece, this was a significant cost. We’ve tried repeatedly to work with Raj, the store manager, to return the incorrectly ordered thinset and the exorbitant overage of tile, but he only wants to blame our contractor for his employee’s mistake and will take no ownership of the situation. Our contractor, by the way, has an A+ business rating with the Better Business Bureau and top scores on HomeAdvisor and many other business rating sites. Steven and Raj at Don’s in Vestavia do not care about the customer, they only care about making a sale. And once your card has been charged, they have no interest in ensuring you are happy with the product or their service. We will never work with this Don’s again and we will advise all our friends and family to steer clear of this business."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Dora, AL

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.
