"I actually used the North Austin store, but Angie's List only allows a review of the South Austin store.  I have been there many times for flat limestone pieces, cut limestone bricks, small limestone rocks, and fine limestone screenings.  I find their prices to be good - everyday price is about the same as the apron stores' sale prices.  People are always helpful, whether it's a question or loading up the rock. <br />"

"Rolando & crew turned an open patch of grass into a dream of patio that fit all of our requirements.  After going through over six consultations with patio and stonescape providers on Angie's List, Rolando's (Austin Stonescapes) attention to detail, along with understanding what we wanted, and flexibility on design won us over. <br /> Items that stood out to us on exceptional service: <br />  - Gave Pro's and Con's to every suggestion - not just a 'Yes Man' contractor <br />  - Communication - phone or email, accessible both ways. If not him, his assistant was quick on the trigger <br />  - Functional over Fashion - focused on grading, future proofing, and safety vs. this will look good.  Don't get us wrong, we wanted it to look good, too, but functional and safe was a great foundation to start <br />  - Good surprises over bad ones - he would always tell us if he had a different idea or wanted to try something that would look good, it was communicated. Any issues we found, it felt like it was communicated prior to us finding out anything for ourselves <br />  - Cleaning up after themselves. From the backyard to the front yard and driveway <br /> Update:  3 mos. Later <br /> Deck is standing strong and settling in well. The real test was the grading and water run off from heavy rains. Everything performed extremely well. I can't state enough on the quality of work. <br />"

"We have used Garcia Lawn and Tree Service for several years.  Initially, he was just a young man with a lawn mower, but we were very impressed with his work.  He now has a full blown lawn and tree service and we have never been unhappy with his work.  He comes every two weeks during the growing season and is very dependable, pleasant and polite.  Without our asking, he has trimmed tree limbs leaning over our house we were not aware were ready to fall. In other words, he sees what needs to be done and does it without our asking.  Our lawn always looks nice when he finishes his work. <br />"

"Listen to me: Hire Rusty Crain Concrete & Excavation for any concrete work and/or landscaping you need for your home or business. I was building a pool in my backyard earlier this year (February 2021), and after the pool was put in place, I had to wait for my pool builder’s concrete crew to secure the concrete and have availability to pour the concrete decking. Fast-forward to July, and there was still no movement on completing the project. Rusty and his crew then stepped in and were pouring concrete within a week of contacting him. My backyard was a fiberglass pool surrounded by a huge gravel pit before Rusty got involved – and as I write this in late October of 2021, it still may have been without Rusty’s connections and expertise. Pictures of the before-and-after are attached to this review. I cannot say enough good things about Rusty and the people who work for him (Alonzo and Alfredo are unbelievable and INCREDIBLY good at what they do). They framed and poured my pool deck – and broke down the forms – all in 1 day. It looks so good! While they were finishing up on the concrete, I asked Rusty if he could recommend any good landscaper to help turn the rest of my yard into a livable space – and he said, “Yeah… ME.” So, we talked over the vision I had for my backyard, and he came back a little while after the deck was finished to take measurements and sketch out a plan. When I tell you that the completed project was EXACTLY as I envisioned it in my head, I’m being 100% honest. He truly is a magician with a concrete wand. (Pictures of the landscaping, pavers, river rocks, and zoysia grass before-and-after also attached to this review). Here’s the deal: We all are apprehensive about having contract work done on our home or business. It’s nerve-wracking and we don’t want to get ripped-off on a job – especially if it turns out we don’t like it. Rusty is not the cheapest guy out there, and for good reason. He will explain every detail, be there at the site every single day, be able to change things on the fly to make sure you’re totally happy, and he’ll come back and check on the completed job as often as you’d like until you’re comfortable or just have any questions about how things turned out. I honestly could not be happier with the work he did for me. There’s not a tangible price I can put on peace of mind. Just to put a tidy little bow on this review about Rusty Crain: his wife is a literal competitive body builder; his oldest son is a veteran and served as an active-duty Marine; his other son was an undersized middle-linebacker in high school who set the school record for total tackles in a single game his Senior year. He and his entire family do not know the definition of “half-a**” or “just good enough”. The attitude, dedication, and pride he puts into his work is the “fine print” in his deals – and that’s WAY more important than the sticker price. I will be using him—and only him—for any concrete or landscaping work I need in the future. Thank you, Rusty Craaaain"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Elgin, TX

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.
