"Jason went the extra mile. He even created another step on my stoop to make it easier to walk upon it. Jason also put pavers in and put grass seed down in the area graded. Jason told me when he was going to begin and finish my project, and even finished a day earlier."

"Steve and his crew are truly awesome guys. They all communicate very well and even went the extra mile to locate my son's drain issue and came up with a solution to keep the garage from flooding during a heavy rain. My son lives in Manchester, MD. I highly recommend them. Kurt"

"Had used their tech Fred twice before with no problems. They were very responsive but other tech scheduled had urgent dental work. Rescheduled three more weeks out with other tech. Had headphones in and did not hear knock or call. Rescheduled and I mistook date and was in Maine when they arrived. Since I was outside their usual area I felt it better to cancel project since I only had six months lease. They stated would refund, and I will appreciate since I am a senior in fixed income."

"We had a great experience with Greg Sutherland Paving, we had a very steep and difficult driveway and they were the only one to recommend a film on the hill beside a cliff where the driveway was pulling apart and would continue to separate if not for installing the film, also they were very easy to speak to and we're willing to whatever we needed to make us happy, and we are happy"

"Sublime Innovations did an excellent job in getting my landscaping together for the start of the growing season. We used them to refresh the landscaping around our yard. Our landscaping had overgrown and become unkempt during the fall and winter. Sublime Innovations was able to clean all of the flower beds of dead matter and weeds and trim all of our hedges and bushes so that they are more manageable to maintain. We will definitely be using them again for maintenance of our landscaping to ensure it remains beautiful."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Dover, PA

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.
