"Looks MUCH better. The only disappointment is that the filling of the large cracks can be seen through the seal coating. It reminds me of the first coat of paint on a new wall and the taping and spackling still shows through."

"Eddie of General Brick Designs did a fantastic job building a gravel driveway at my summer house. He lives up to his rave online reviews. He is a great communicator and friendly. He is prompt and thorough. He immediately understood the look I wanted and told me how to achieve it in a way that would be easiest to maintain. He explained to me how a gravel driveway is engineered and carefully talked through the challenges of my space, which needed grading so that water wouldn’t pool in the center. Once I decided to hire him, he got to work ASAP and finished ahead of schedule. The driveway looks terrific. I know that if I have any questions or issues, I can call Eddie and he’ll respond right away. He’s now my go-to guy for masonry or paving work. I’ll encourage my friends to use him. Heck, I’d probably call him for advice on stuff unrelated to paving. He’s that good. Hire him. You won’t regret it!"

"I highly recommend Hi Tech Contracting for their exceptional service and professionalism. Last year, they did an outstanding job with transforming my backyard. Recently, I reached out to them again when I experienced rain leaking in through the window frames. Kamran from Hi Tech promptly assessed the situation, identifying the root cause of the issue on the roof. Once we set up a date for the work to be done, the team arrived promptly and conducted themselves with utmost professionalism. They efficiently resolved the problem and left absolutely no evidence of their work behind. Additionally, they took professional pictures throughout the process, keeping both Kamran and myself updated on the progress. Four days later, we experienced a major storm that brought relentless rainfall and flooding throughout the city. I am grateful to report that Kamran's and Hi Tech Contracting's work stood strong. Despite the intense weather conditions, not a single drop of water seeped through the repairs they had made."

"Install stone garden steps on my back yard. I’m a hill that was very steep they did a great jobI hired Chuck and CJ to construct a new driveway and widen it to three cars. It was a very big job and a lot of organizing. They tackled the job like true professionals. Having the correct number of men and equipment, timing cement deliveries was very important. They also installed a Cambridge paving brick apron by one of their master masons. Everything was discussed and approved by us especially the color and style of paving bricks for the apron. We are extremely happy with the service and quality of work. There was always a Bongiorno on the job site making sure everything went as planned.. Thank you Chuck &CJ for another great job.."

"It was a pleasure working with Scott Anderson Design for the new patio and landscaping for my backyard and the new sidewalk and sod lawn for my front yard. The masonry work was exceptional and his employees were true craftsmen. The result was more than I expected. Also, contractors he recommended for irrigation and fencing was exceptional and Scott also coordinated the whole project with the other contractors. It was well worth the money spent which was also reasonable. I would highly recommend Scott Anderson Design for your landscaping needs."

"We purchased an older home, and had various repairs/updates to do. Fernando was very knowledgeable about the work we needed and offered us cost-effective solutions. He picked up everything for us from the hardware store AND from a friend of ours who gifted us with some of the materials. He also removed and returned a defective storm door after he had install it, and never complained or asked for additional compensation for the extra work. He made changes when asked in order to do the work to our satisfaction. We will certainly use Bright Construction again."

"A back water valve was installed in my basement. A & A Innovative was hired to install valve cover, fill in the opening with gravel and concrete, cover the hole with concrete and level off with floor. The procedure was explained in professional and layman's terms, I was able to take photos as the work proceeded, the worker was on time. Area left clean. The price was very reasonable."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Garden City, NY

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.
