"Cody did a very good job of repairing and sealing my driveway. His pricing came in much lower than others who had a minimum charge of $1500. It took a few calls to coordinate a time to do the work, but you can tell he takes pride in providing a good service."

"I had a flagstone patio that was sinking and uneven due to subsidence. The company removed all the stones, rebuilt the base with a proper slope away from the house, and reinstalled the stones. The price was fair (I had some higher estimates and some lower) and the quality of work was excellent with a good attention to detail. I most appreciated that Lazaro offered a vision for a better patio. My original request was to just replace the stones the way they were, but he made recommendations on how to improve the patio (with the same amount of stones) that led to a much better final project."

"This is the second project we hired JP Landscaping for, and I suggest that anyone else looking for landscaping or hardscaping work do the same. We obtained numerous quotes for both projects, and JP was always the most transparent, honest, and cheapest. We could not be happier with everything his team did for us--a retaining wall, patio, and fence. He totally transformed our back yard. He was patient as we worked through what exactly we wanted and our budget. Once we made a decision and he had the materials, his team showed up right away and worked hard. I highly recommend JP Landscaping for anyone's next project."

"Ground Effects planned, permitted and built an outdoor basketball court which included the goals, a mid court net for racket games, lighting, and retaining walls. Josh and his crew continue to amaze me with their professionalism, skill and quality. I'm a pretty picky customer, and they never let me down. All materials were high quality, and were installed in accordance with manufacturers instructions and best practice. Ground Effects has done other projects for me over the years, and none has failed or needed significant rework or repair. The pre-construction panning help, including local jurisdiction approvals, was also outstanding. I would highly recommend Ground Effects Landscape Construction for any size project."

"Our HOA needed to replace a failed 60-foot long drainage pipe that ran across one our private roads leading into a cul de sac and also had to address a number of erosion issues that the HOA had been dealing with at the pipe entrance and exit for many years. The HOA solicited potential solutions and 4 bids for the job from local contractors. Full-time access for residents during the project and ensuring that all necessary materials were available in a timely manner was a huge consideration for the HOA - especially with winter approaching. HEMAX was selected because they provided a solid plan, assured material availability, a guaranteed project start date and submitted the most competitive quote. The project involved asphalt cutting, excavation and replacement of a 24-inch corrugated metal drainage pipe with a high density polyethylene pipe, installation and compaction of fill over the new pipe to specifications and the application of hot-patch asphalt to repair the road surface. The project also included: the creation of new culverts and catch basins, the establishment of a head wall at the new pipe entrance, repair of existing culverts, and providing additional fill and re-grading of both sides of the private road for safety and also to help ease future maintenance of the area. Afterward, all work was seeded, covered with erosion control matting and lined with rip rap. Throughout the whole project, the HEMAX team kept the HOA Board informed and did an outstanding job. The project started and completed on-time and was efficiently executed so that residents had full-time access to the area and were minimally affected. Each night, the work area was well cleaned and all equipment safely stowed. The HOA Board highly recommends HEMAX based on their cost and performance on this project and will definitely consider them for future work within the HOA."

"Wonderful work, very professional, and cost competitive company. 3-years later no issues. Kevin and his team came in to put a nice flagstone staff 8x45 ft patio in next to our house to replace the grass. It was completed quickly and when there was a minor issue that cropped up within 4-months due to bad stones from the quarry, they came back to replace asap. 100% confidence and would hire again. Thanks guys!"

"Groff Landscape performed in a superior fashion as they have always done for us. The replacement shrubbery specimens were of excellent quality and the pressure washing and grout installation was completed in a timely fashion and the finished product looks as good as when they originally installed the stone patio 4 years ago."

"This spring, we were returning clients of Green Lady Masonry and Drainage Solutions. This is our third set of projects to be completed by Deborah, Gerardo, and the Crew. I cannot say enough on how professional the entire crew works. They are always polite, and they have always cleaned up the site every day without fail. First, we completed a front-yard makeover which included installation of a terraced mortared, Fieldstone retaining wall for our sloped garden and underground PVC pipe downspout installation. Before this, the landscape was overgrown, and years of poor drainage contributing to foundation and soil erosion. As in all subsequent projects, the professional planning and personal attention provided by Deborah and Gerardo allowed for easy execution of a gorgeous, finished product. The second project involved waterproofing a persistent leak in our foundation. Gerardo immediately knew the solution and the issue was handled efficiently with excellent outcome. Our latest work included a much-needed French Drain and extended PVC Pipe to deal with our always sloped, soggy side yard. Gerardo is ingenious in his thinking as he approaches problem-solving for water problems. He is also extraordinary in relation to designing retaining walls and other hardscapes. He created a lovely half-moon, mortared Fieldstone retaining wall in our backyard on a very steep slope that allows us to garden now."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Fairfax, VA

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.
