"Wasser & Wasser is an out-of-town company for us.  We couldn't find a local landscape firm that was licensed and insured.  That was important to us because there were large branches overhanging our roof and also the main electric power lines.  We could see safety issues.   A representative came and gave us an estimate which, even though they would have to come about 90 miles with trucks, chipper, crew, etc.,  was about $200 less than a local company (non-insured) gave us the year before.   It took several weeks for us to get a set time because of everyone's schedules and Christmas/New Years holidays.  When they did give us a definite date they showed up on time.  We were completely satisfied with the work done, the professional manner, the clean up, well, just every aspect of the job.  We have another tree on the property that will probably have to come down in a few years and we will definitely call for Wasser & Wasser again.  I've been recommending the company to my friends and family.  <br />"

"Scott and his team was very friendly and professional during the estimate and install.  He explained the different types and colors of turf and even gave me a sample of what it would look like.  When the day came for him to perform the work, they cleaned up the yard by removing all the large rocks, cement borders, stumps, weeds, basically everything that was growing was removed.  He cleared out an area around my wall for me to be able to plant flowers/trees in as well.  He also sprayed a lot of weed killer before putting the base down.  Most of the work was done on the second day while I was at work, but it was amazing coming home to see the finished product.  I actually sat outside on my patio most of the evening just looking at it.  I really enjoy my backyard now and it is no longer an eyesore.  I would HIGHLY recommend him if wanting turf in your yard! <br />"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Farmington, NM

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.
