"Jose did an excellent job with planting over 20 bushes and shrubs and he leveled the top soil and spread and compacted mulch in my front yard. His prices were very reasonable and I would recommend him again. In fact I have contracted him to build a retainer wall in my back yard."

"Very professional, hardworking and detail oriented. Went above and beyond. Hired their services to clear out a large overrun wooded area with leaves, pine cones and needles, sticks and fallen tries, as well as trim several shrubs and mulch. Cleared everything out of the wooded area quick all while it was raining, making the job much harder. Cut a defined edge around all our flower beds and spread out 13.5 yards of mulch nice and thick, again in the rain. Turned out really well. Highly recommend their services, will use them again for future projects."

"Hired Mendoza Trimming to straighten a tree, apply mulch, replace rose bushes and trim some overgrown bushes. Had to be flexible on which day work was completed, but once that day came, he had a team of five or six workers show up and perform the work. They did FANTASTIC job. Cleared all leaves before applying new mulch, trimmed bushes to the size I asked, put roses in as I asked, took away all the debris, and the property looks great. Price was higher than I originally expected, but after seeing the crew and work, felt that I got a great value. Sorry for night photos, that's all I could take while submitting this review tonight. "

"I highly recommend Corona Landscaping!! They landscaped a large hill on our property (which included installing two sets of stairs), created a paved/brick walkway to match a patio already in place, and installed multiple drain lines to direct water on our property away from the driveway when it rains. Miguel and his crew are very professional, listened to our ideas and made wonderful suggestions regarding our projects. The crew worked continuously from beginning to end of the project until it was completed to our satisfaction. Wonderful experience overall, and will be contacting them for landscaping needs in the future!!"

"I called them to get a quote for gravel to fill in my back patio. They were able to do this easily with me providing them with the measurements. The person I spoke with on the phone was very friendly and helpful. They delivered a ton and a half of gravel on time. It was exactly what I expected. The guy who delivered was polite."

"Island Creek Landscape was amazing!  They had the work done in less time than we imagined and had to work in some bad weather conditions.  The patio and firepit look amazing and we couldn't be happier.  The team even went above and beyond my moving dirt into areas of our yard that needed some work - they also fixed our fence gate during the install.   <br /> The cleanup was immaculate and we were ready to use the patio when they finished on a Friday.   <br /> I've already started recommending Island Creek to my friends! <br />"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Gastonia, 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.
