"I hired coastal landscape construction to install a concrete walk way on my new construction house and couldn’t be happier with the finished product and the company. Bobby was professional and very easy to work with, his crew was skilled, and they left the jobsite cleaner than when he got there. After working with a lot of contractors building this house I can’t say enough good things about this company. Highly recommend "

"I am happy to write that my experience with Cleanstone Construction was absolutely wonderful. Wes and his team were very kind, professional and committed to doing a great, clean job. They worked to add new stone pavers at the end of our backyard pathway and beautifully matched the pavers to what we have on the other parts of the pathway. We could not be happier with the end result and are looking forward to working with them on a patio project later this spring."

"Styer was responsive and helpful. They found what we wanted in December and made good suggestions concerning our requests. The install team did an excellent job. I'd use them again. Price might seem a little high but everything is still alive and doing well and of course it's guaranteed. <br />"

"Corey met me the same day to provide an estimate, and while I initially thought his estimate was high, after receiving other quotes I realized that it was reasonable for the work being done. He texted me to keep me informed along the way which I appreciated. What I like about Corey is that he’s an honest, straightforward guy. Tree work is notoriously expensive as home/landscape expenses go, and he gets it - he won’t try to sell you something you don’t need or pressure you into having more work done than is necessary. It’s hard to find service professionals like that and I would highly recommend him to anyone."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Glen Allen, VA

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.
