"Home Pro of Joplin, MO did a wonderful job on installing my new over-sized sliding glass doors. The guys were courteous and professional. The workmanship looks great. I'm very happy about the new look. I had shopped around and Home Pro had the best price. So thanks Rod! (salesman) and installers! "

We are a locally owned small business with eight employees, in business since 1985. We still do things the old-fashioned way - you call, we deliver, and you pay the driver! Our construction business customers can opt to set up monthly billing, but our "one-time" customer deliveries are COD only. Most rock and dirt deliveries are done the day you call. Excavating requires advanced scheduling, but we are usually able to get to our customers within a few days.

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Galena, KS

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.
