"Beautiful construction Attila provided an estimate to build a stamped concrete ramp to our back porch. After the fact Atilla wanted to built it more secure with a footer. He did not charge us, he did beautiful work, and we are super happy with him and his team. We will be doing additional business with Atilla moving forward. One additional thing, weather delayed the job, Attila kept us up to date with his plans. Was a great experience working with him."

"Wonderfully. Cedar Run was recommended by the paver company to correct problems with initial installation, and they really knew their stuff. Nice, conscientious and responsive as well. They even made an extra trip to later seal areas that had had to have stains removed."

"Chris did a great job repointing the stone foundation and columns that needed maintenance on our house. He matched the existing ribbon style beautifully. He was easy to communicate with, flexible, and a nice guy. I’ve already recommended him to neighbors and plan on using him for another project."

"G&B recently completed a driveway, sidewalks and patio with fire pit for us and it turned out beautifully. George offered several helpful suggestions for choosing the right color and stamping pattern to really tie the project in with the house. These extra details are why we chose G&B above the others. The crew was prompt on completing the projects as well as courteous and mindful of our neighbors during the job. Highly, highly recommend for any concrete needs."

"Overall, we were very please with Andy and the crews that worked at the house. This was a challenging job because of the repair aspect of it, rather than building from scratch. They were able to start much sooner than other contractors we had out to bid, and all of the prices were very close. The original job done was done well, but there were a few finishing items we noticed that needed to be touched up. Andy came back to review all of our concerns, and dispatched a crew the very next morning to fix those items. From Andy, the office staff and the crew, their message was that they were not satisfied until we were happy with the job. In the end, the patio looks fantastic, the new steps look really nice, but most importantly, they are installed properly and safely! Kudos to Andy and the team, and thanks for all of your help."

"Work was prompt, workers were courteous, they cleaned up when completed. They were flexible with me and worked to help me keep costs down. Anything that came up (something always comes up) was fully (and patiently) explained and usually multiple options were given. The was was done weeks ago and the basement has remained bone dry including through some sever storms where I know it would have flooded in the past."

"We were supposed to inspect our granite and decide how we wanted our countertops layed out. We visited Absolute and were told that the granite was not at their warehouse so we could select how the granite should be cut. We had paid a $500 deposit months before to hold the granite. When informed that the granite was ready to install we were told that we had to find someone to install supports on the bar top before the granite could be installed (10 inch overhang needs support). Absolute provide no assistance with this until we forced the issue. Absolute told us it was our problem - they only install the granite. The installers were fine however they told me that the supports for the bar top were not the preferred supports and the bar countertop had to be installed with shims under the bar top to make it level. This could have been avoided if Absolute also installed the supports for the bartop - they are the granite experts - not me - the homeowner. Installation was OK but the finish of the granite surface has many small holes and defects and in some areas are rough. Research informed me that the granite surface was not finished properly because the surface should be smooth. Overall I was not happy with the service or product from Absolute. I had another granite countertop installed when I lived in another state and the finished product and service was much better."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Elkins Park, 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.
