"They were very prompt and had all the work done within 3 days -- all the work was top quality. My only "beef" was two loose connectors on the irrigation system that cost me an hour's work on my own to install clamps and washers (not fun with my arthritic knees) and an extra $10 on my water bill until I found where the irrigation system was leaking after I connected my water hose to it and turned it on without checking the connections first . . . which I should have done."

"It was not such a great experience. I love their nursery, but the landscapers came without calling and I wasn't expecting them. They just showed up with a team. I paid more to plant the trees than I did for the trees. If I had known it was going to cost that much, I would have used just an individual. These were not even 20 foot trees. These were just little trees. Because they brought this whole team of 5 people, I was paying for 5 men to dig a hole and put mulch on. That was very overpriced. I did tell them I was happy with their nursery but not the landscaping. I think they just need to coordinate the work better. There is another nursery that delivers trees for free. I won't use Thress's anymore for tree planting. When you have landscaping you are hiring a lot of people and if it is not a big job, you are really overpaying. They didn't do a bad job. It was not the quality but the price of the service."

"Excellent in every way. This was a difficult job - removing an existing retaining wall and rebuilding it with stone blocks in a long, narrow area behind our house. Included the installation of wall lights and steps from lower to upper yard. Lawn Butler provided the required skill at a reasonable cost with great customer service. They also do a great job maintaining out lawn!"

"She was a good talker and she based her comments on what I was looking to. She said we go in and we get the job done and not sit around and take an hour for lunch. We are going to work for you and charge you for the work and we leave. Based on that and the charge and her estimate on one day, we said okay, fine. However, she was supposed to e-mail me an estimate and we never heard from her again."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Gatlinburg, TN

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.
