"My gravel driveway in Black Mountain, NC had needed repairs for a long time and the situation became much worse after a plumbing company installed a new sewer line under it. I contacted David Gibson about repairing the driveway as he had previously done excellent work in fixing my foundation that was settling. David and his crew arrived when expected and had to excavate and install extra sub base and gravel due to the much deteriorated condition of my driveway. I am very pleased with the work and I highly recommend him for fixing any driveway or foundation problems."

"Having had another unprofessional contractor doing other work come in and cause damage to what was a $14,000 T&J Panel System and then disappearing, not returning phone calls, not submitting to GL insurance, I was very gun shy. I proceeded to call Manufacturers who got me in contact with local supply houses so I could ask: who would you have in your home? Mr. Wilson and Company was the number one recommendation with many great things said regarding their character and work ethic. I did have two other companies quote me as well. Our work estimate had several tiers as we were unsure if would need to remove the existing drain field and add clean fill, etc. I ultimately chose Wilson Grading and Grounds not because of price but because I knew from my first meeting that he was a person of integrity, extremely knowledgeable and his business philosophy was exactly what I needed after having such a bad experience. They showed up on time. They immediately began transplanting my Rose of Sharon Trees that I had just assumed would be lost (I didn't even consider having it added to quote because I thought the cost would be too much). Although the new plumber I needed to hire to correct the original problem showed up a day later than scheduled, Mr. Wilson's crew expertly shifted their job focus so that there was no lost time. His crew worked extremely well together, supporting each other in their endeavors and were very professional and efficient. All this when I needed it most, my faith in professionalism, providing added value and great work ethic is once again restored. When I received my final bill, I was very surprised it was not as high as I anticipated (Some extra work did have to be done T&M per man hour). He treated me more than fairly and I thank this forum for giving me the chance to sing their accolades!"

"I like them a lot individually. They always show up on time and I never have a problem with them showing up. They do a very good and professional job. When I occasionally ask them to do some extra things they do it. They are very polite and I have recommended my neighbor to them who has also been happy with them. They are prompt, friendly, respectful and do what they agree to. I am not sure about how their pricing stands out as I have never used such a service before. I would use them again in the future."

"Same as above- <br /> We really liked the people there, and enjoyed going through the slabs. The company was very patient with us as we took up a lot of their time. We only chose another company to do our work because I didn't like having the countertop's seam located at the middle of the sink, which, from our conversations with them, was the only option. If that's not an issue for you, I would recommend them just for their helpful nature and willingness to spend time with someone who they don't know will hire them. (I can't speak for their actual installation work.)"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Franklin, NC

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.
