"Jake excavated my main water to house meter/shut-off valve area without hitting any plumbing or other vitals with precision. Repaired a leaking pipe with satisfaction and cautiously replaced the dirt. The job took 4 hours at reasonable price and I would highly recommend him "

"John was very helpful in showing us all the aspects of our sprinkler system. He informed us of necessary servicing needed, as well as parts that will likely need to be replaced soon, and ways to do things ourselves. He was great to work with!"

"I would highly recommend Personal Touch Tile without reservation. Scott came in and corrected a very poorly installed shower job/bathroom remodel job of a previous contractor. He completely gutted what had just been installed, took away all the debris, re-built the shower floor and walls so they are waterproof and will drain properly, re-tiled the entire shower and floor to perfection. He was very knowledgeable and helpful to consult regarding the kind and quality of tile to use for the redo, as well as confirming that all the plumbing was good to go. He also provided quality contacts for other repair work we needed from the botched remodel. We are thankful to have found him and count him as a friend."

"The cutout for the new Range needed to be 3/4” larger than the old Range. The Guys put down blankets on the floor and over the cabinets to minimize the duty as the granite was being cut. The cutout was perfect when they finished and the cleanup was great."

"Once they got started and got the schedule in place they showed up like clockwork. Their employees are very accommodating and polite. We are older and we have a huge yard. If it weren’t for McCrary we’d have to move because we just can’t do the work anymore."

"I had Angel install sod and sprinklers last year. Not long after installation I told him there’s a very large section in the middle that’s dying. He told me to increase the water so I did. It did not help. I had him back out this spring to give me a quote on more landscape work and showed him the area that’s struggling while he was there. Hhe said it’s probably the soil. This year the same area is dying so I decided to run the sprinkles and monitor them. I can stand in the middle of my lawn and don’t get wet. It’s clear the sprinklers don’t reach the middle of my lawn. I decided to manually water them for 2 weeks to see if that solves the problem. Yes, after manually watering the middle all the grass comes back. I called Angel to inform him that the sprinklers don’t reach the middle of the lawn. He said that’s not the problem. I need to run my sprinklers for an entire hour a day. I told him no because all the lawn looks beautiful except for the middle which does not get water through the sprinklers. He refuses to adjust my sprinklers, fix the problem, or come out to see if they actually reach the middle of my lawn. It’s clear Angel does not back up the quality of his work and won’t fix the problem that I paid him to install properly. I would never recommend someone that won’t stand behind the quality of their work or at least come out to look if it was installed properly."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Estes Park, CO

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.
