"We had absolutely no issues. Ramon and his wife, Maria, were great to work with, and they did an excellent job. The sidewalk turned out just the way we wanted it. The price was in the same ballpark as the rest of the estimates we received. They arrived on time, cleaned up when they finished. I would definitely hire Ramon again, without question."

"We gave Jimmy an excellent rating even though he ran into some challenges with municipal permitting, city inspectors, and a work crew that left some things undone which needed to be corrected. To Jimmy's credit, he was always reachable by phone, responsive to our inquiries, and "Johnny-On -The-Spot" for getting things corrected that needed to be corrected. His crew foreman JJ was excellent in answering our questions and making certain that the installation was everything we expected. Not every job goes smoothly, but Jimmy made sure that we ultimately got the service and product we paid for. We would hire him again and recommend him to others."

"Very great craftsmanship but had issues with keeping the schedule. It took several times of rescheduling the date due to the contractor not being able to complete a prior job. The work is of professional quality. There is one item that needs to be fixed (patio holds water at the edge and puddles) but the contractor has not arrived at my residence to fix the issue. (Update: Jay arrived and fixed the puddling issue. Water is flowing correctly and no more puddles!)"

"All the work that was performed went very well . They did a great job cleaning up as they worked and after the work was completed. Very pleased with the way they handled everything. Will be calling them back to install a stormdoor that I had to order. I am sure I will be using JY HANDYMAN Services in the future."

"They exceeded our highest expectations. They arrived on time and started on time. All of the workers were knowledgeable, professional, polite and courteous. They went above and beyond what the job called for. After painting the newly installed porch the gave all of the ledges and door edge a fresh coat of paint so everything looked new and matched. Their attention to detail throughout the entire project was excellent. When finished, they left the workplace clean and better than when they found it. I highly recommend this company."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Galveston, TX

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.
