"It is hard to find a team that is well managed. Kameron is a great manager of his team. He is a strong leader and his business has great communication. He is also very knowledgable and has great resources that help him be creative in his projects. He took on a very challenging home drainage issue I had that required putting perimeter drainage around two sides of my house. I had a leaking basement and a home that a very difficult rock in the depths of the earth. The project needed to be modified to meet the unique needs of ground conditions and Kameron and his team worked with the challenges and I appreciated the work they did very much."

"Travis and his team were very easy to work with. From the start he was able to build on our ideas to help with the design aspect and help turned our drab backyard into both pleasing to the eye as well as functional area for us to utilize. The paver designs were lovely and expertly installed and the plants selections were beautiful. I strongly recommend them as they are involved from start to finish of the entire project, including drafting up designs and HOA documents needed for community based projects. My wife and I will enjoy our backyard for years to come."

"I don’t usually give bad reviews but greenway was very poor with their service and was way overpriced. I hired Greenway for a side yard work. The job was to install two sets of steps with stones and install ground covers and optimize the existing irrigation at my home. There were two medium sized pine trees which I wanted removed. The quote they gave had over $2500 just to cut the two trees leaving the stumps behind. I requested them to take that item off the request. I could have this done for less than $400 with another company. In hindsight I should have backed off and not allowed them to work on my yard at all. That was a clue to how overpriced they were. However, we decided to give them a chance. They finished the work fast, but had to redo the steps with stone because the steps started coming off within 2 days! Initially they had this done by a subcontractor. Greenway redid it because it was that bad and unsafe to walk on. The rest of the work was mediocre at best, and way overpriced for what they did. I just want to share my experience so that others do not fall for the 30years of experience that this company boasts. I have to say that the owners and the workers were very professional and friendly throughout the project which earns them 3 stars."

"I used System Pavers for my backyard project and was not disappointed. They gave me lots of suggestions and helped me choose the pavers that would make my backyard look spectacular. Everyone was very accommodating and easy to work with from the design consultant to the project and construction manager. They kept in contact with me every step of the way and had great communication. System pavers strive to deliver quality work and does not take shortcuts. I highly recommend this company to others and will definitely work with them again!"

"It’s a shame to have to write a poor review on a company but its important to share the experience. We had Stoneshine remove some tile, grind, polish and stain our concrete floor. The work was decent. My challenge is in other aspects of the project. Starting out they called me and asked that I give them a $500 non-refundable deposit before they would send me a copy of the contract to execute. This is just flat our wrong. I was able to get a copy sent prior to paying a deposit but it required some back and forth with the company. Once I told them I was ok with the contract I had to repeatedly contact them to get a version to execute. I had to let them know that I would not let them start the job unless we had a fully executed contract. I also requested an unconditional lien release within 48hours of final payment. If you don’t know what that is search on-line about mechanics liens. You could pay your contractor and still me accountable if they don’t pay their employees. Protect yourself and your home. Don’t pay twice. Jazmin agreed to this and said it was part of the process. To date it has been a week since the job was finished and I can’t get her to respond or honor her commitment. Let’s talk about the job. The final product looks ok. The crew was pleasant and did what they said. The problem I have is that they aren’t very good at cleaning up after themselves. I have found four single edge razor blades in my flower beds, patio, and driveway. I don’t expect everything to be perfect, but I would expect them to take some care when it comes to cleaning up dangerous objects. Overall the experience was okay but I won’t use them for the second phase of my project. There are a ton of concrete contractors so I don’t feel like I should pay thousands of dollars and get an okay result."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Encinitas, CA

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.
