"We hired Magic Landscaping, Marvin McCoy and his crew. Which did an amazing job giving us the marvelous gravel driveway. That we really wanted. Marvin was patient with us he was kind, friendly, and showed us what we could do. To achieve the look we wanted. It was excellent work and I was going to take pictures but it's dark outside. Magic landscaping is the way to go if you want excellent at Landscaping whatever the job is. Very good, a fine job. It was like 3-4 hours. We loved our gravel driveway."

"Quick estimate and fast work. Was very professional from start to finish. High quality work at an affordable price. Highly recommend Philip. This was a mess I dealt with for years and had contacted numerous folks for help. People don't show up, get overwhelmed and don't call back with an estimate or try to rip off a single female. Philip was amazing and I'm so thankful to have found him. Update: Most of the work was done as per the contract minus a few little things that I questioned but decided to let go....such as the top of the retaining wall having a thick layer of dirt so plant things....and it was mulched instead. The mulch was thin and a few inches of digging you run into the concrete blocks and aren't able to plant much at all. I've had about half of the plants die that we tried to plant. I began having issues with the work soon thereafter it was completed. Water was still a major issue and his solutions did not work. I contacted him several times asking for repairs to be made on pipes that are coming out of the ground that were supposed to be buried. He has made two unannounced trips to my house which has a locked privacy fence so he couldn't properly evaluate or fix anything. He tried to get the Metro Parks to fix some issues he found which I had previous stated the Parks were not willing to fix and knew about. I thanked him for visiting but asked for help from HIM on his part. He stated that he was still thinking about how to fix the problem. It's been over a year and nothing has been fixed. He has never scheduled a time to come look at the yard or do work. I continue to have a messy muddy backyard. He has a two year warranty on his work but it's not being held up. He made a few emails and phone calls to apologize. I asked him to please give me some money back if he didn't know how to fix this like he thought he could and he has not replied. I think over a year is unreasonable and I have been more than patient. Some of the work is still fine, the gutters and drain spouts are good. The retaining wall itself is well made. The beginning to the end of the project was fine. It's just getting him to do the work on the 2 year warranty for things that aren't working or are coming apart. I believe he may have more than he can handle or perhaps doesn't know how to fix it but isn't willing to give any money back to find someone to fix it."

"We had 3 different companies (1 general contractor and 2 concrete companies) come out to look at our property and talk to us about building a stand-a-lone garage and/or concrete work for the garage. Then Bryan Hudson from Superior Buildings discussed the job with us. He was the first person who really knew the grading issues involved due to the slope of our property, including tree removal, temporary fencing for our dogs, and a retaining wall. Bryan was aware of county codes and gave us a rough cost estimate based on photos of our property. We decided it was worth the $100 cost to have Bryan come for a site visit to discuss the job in detail. After receiving a written quote we signed a contract and work began in February. After delays due to rainy weather the grading and retaining wall were completed. We also had to adjust the building size due to county restraints for our property size. The concrete work for the garage was completed in March and the steel building was ordered thru Superior Buildings. Part of our project was to widen our driveway at the street but as we looked at the existing driveway we decided to replace the whole driveway. This driveway replacement was completed in April after the building was on order. When we had trouble getting a sod company to finish the final grading and install new sod, Bryan helped us out and completed this work for us. We are very pleased with the completed project and would highly recommend Bryan Hudson and Superior Buildings. Communication is critical for a project of this scope. Bryan was accessible and responsive even on evenings and weekends. He was very patient with us and respectful of our concerns. It is obvious that he loves his job and he simply has too much fun with his machines!"

"The guys did a fantastic job! They removed so much brush from the area and graded it so well. They threw out plenty of seed and the side yard blended in well with existing yard. I had a leaky basement and they evaluated it during consultation to plan for water flow away from house. On day of service, I told them I wanted to liquid rubber the bricks on the outside since they were moving dirt for french drain. They kindly offered to also do the liquid rubber for me. Above and beyond! They do the hard work and more without price gouging. Highly recommend! Thanks again guys!"

"The contractor was very pleasant and professional. He quoted me a good price to irrigate my yards. He did it quickly and was very helpful when I had a main water line to my house complicate the process. He has helped me when I wanted to add some additional yard work and gave me a good price. I recommend him for other jobs also.,"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Forest Park, GA

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.
