"Eric came out and gave an estimate. He worked quickly and the job was well done. I am very pleased with him being able to level out the transition to the road so our cars don’t scrape the bottom. I am getting an additional estimate for the areas beteeen my two workshops. I highly recommend."

"We had Bustillo Landscaping remove all of our old landscaping, and replace it with new plants and mulch. They also rebuilt a stone retaining wall in our back yard that had been falling over. They re-stacked the stones and put mortar between them to hold them in place, and the new wall looks great! They came out on a Thursday morning to give us an estimate (which was very reasonable), and when we agreed to the price, they started work immediately removing all the old bushes (which were very overgrown). They couldn't work that Friday due to weather, but they came out Saturday and spent 15 hours (!!) completing the job. I would recommend them for landscaping projects (it may help to have the Google translate app on your phone though)."

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