"Mike came over and took a look at our deck giving us his vision on how he would proceed. He used top notch materials for all the work. His workmen are very professional and on time every day. They worked on the hottest days in the summer and I even had to almost chase one of them home because it was too hot to work. My husband and I wanted some electrical pulled to install lights and they did it without a blink of an eye. Still they finished ahead of their projected time line. The craftsmanship is stellar. We had a slight issue after the completion of the job and they came out to fix everything while we were on vacation. The most impressive thing we noticed was Mike was there almost daily to supervise, roll up his sleeves and help his crew. He must put hundreds of miles on his vehicle to make sure all his crews are doing as they were instructed. And the relationships are extremely cohesive. We plan on using him again for some other projects we have planned for next year. He keeps his word on the warranties and we trust him. <br />"

"They did an excellent job. A lady owns the place, and I do recommend them. They did everything they said they were going to do. They did have to raise the price for things that had to be done, but I understood that, and the job that they did was excellent."

"Mr. Calaway did a exceptional job of keeping me informed of the progress, and timeline of the job. The concrete slab could have been better, but was sub-contracted. Overall, it went very well, and I'm pleased with the finished product. Mr. Calaway has given me one year from the completion date to point out any defects, and have them taken care of."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Forsyth, MO

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.
