"Randy and his crew came in and knocked it out of the park for us! We had a settled gravel driveway that pooled up each time it rained. Randy came in and graded it nicely, installed a new culvert by the road and drain by our garage, and left things looking immaculate. Thanks again for the great service and communication!"

"They canceled job schelded for fri 9-4 till tue 9-8. (called thurs night) causing minor inconvience. When job was completed 12 noon , (they were solicited for another job by a neighbor, and started immediately after my job) they did nit have tape to block off my driveway. it was around 5 pm before the put up a string with pennents hangin off of them to block my driveway. I was satisfied overall, but I would suggest investing in a role of yellow tape(like my neighbor did, who shared with me) that can be seen after dark."

"Famulous price and service. They moved all the patio furniture and pressure washed driveway, walkways and pool deck. They then applied multiple coats of water based sealant to all the pavers. Pavers look brand new! I would hire them again in a jiffy."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Ellenton, FL

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.
