"I am so glad I got to work with Sundown Landscape on my backyard project! Dave listened to all my crazy ideas, and the design was even better than I imagined! He took into account the challenges I would face with 2 large dogs in my yard, and he delivered a final design that would work for them and me. They are a great company that deliver exceptional results! I plan to work them again in the future on other areas of my yard. Thanks Dave and team for surpassing all my expectations!"

"We contracted with Basile Landscaping & Lawncare, LLC (Basile) in August 2017 for work that was completed in November 2017. Work included a fire pit patio, consisting of patio pavers, rock stairs, and two small patio walls (approx. 30” tall at tallest point). Also included in the work was a small hot tub concrete pad, a small flagstone walkway, and irrigation repairs related to work performed. Total cost $22,830.00. Within a year of install, the patio walls, which were made out of natural stone and dry set, began caving in due to pressure from surrounding soil compaction. While we were able to reset the stones initially, the problem has gotten worse and now requires repair. We reached out to Basile in Oct. 2023 to get an estimate on repair costs with the hope that they would stand behind the workmanship. While we were not expecting the repairs to free, we did expect a fair price, since the rock walls did not hold up as promised. The rock walls should have been set in adhesive to ensure they would hold up. Jim Thomas from Basile provided us with a bid that totaled $3,500 to fix the walls installed by his company. We were told the bid reflected a $300 discount, since Basile did the initial install. Materials for the repair would be limited to polymeric sealant, which should have been used on the initial install, and repairs to the yard around the walls requiring work. We tried to negotiate a fair price for the repairs, since material costs would be less than $500, but Mr. Thomas would not negotiate a fair price to fix the poor installation provided by his company. In short, if you are looking for a company that does quality work at a fair price and stands behind the work performed, you may want to contract with a different company."

From measuring to fabricating to installation, we’ll never take a shortcut. If ten steps of polish are required to get that piece of stone to where it needs to be, that’s what we’ll do. Because, there’s only one way to do this job – and that’s the right way! Long after it’s installed, we still consider your counter top as our own. We spend great time and effort creating and installing our products, so if a piece happens to get chipped years from now, we want to know about it. It’s our mission to ensure your pride in our counter top is maintained. Because there are plenty of automated machines that can “do the job,” many newcomers have ventured into the natural-stone counter top business as a way to create additional revenue. But “doing the job” correctly still requires experienced craftsmen who can hand-cut, fabricate and polish a piece of natural stone – and create a beautiful and unique piece of art. Russo Stone and Tile Design doesn't sub-contract our installations. Each of our technicians are also very experienced craftsman – trained to handle all aspects of the project during time of installation.

"On one of the hottest days of the summer, Jim, Patty and their crew arrived to clean out very overgrown landscape beds. In the high 90 degree temperatures they worked very hard removing Bermuda grass and various weeds, trimming bushes and a tree, planting annuals and mulching. Our landscape beds look wonderful! Patty returned a month later to see if weeds were returning and sprayed. We are very pleased with the job done by Kirkwood Landscaping!"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Glencoe, MO

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.
