"The whole process went very smoothly.  First I drove over to Rim Country with a small sample of my existing rock.  They knew right away exactly what color it was.  They promptly showed me the rock I was looking for.  We set up a delivery appointment.  They arrived on time and went straight to work.  At one point during the job they gave me a little tutorial on how best to spread the rock.  The work was easily finished within the two hours they estimated the job would take. <br /> Everyone at Rim Country was real friendly and helpful.  They really care about their customers and doing a good job. <br /> I have been receiving compliments from neighbors on how nice my yard looks now.  Thank you again to Katherine, Adam and Mike for helping me make that happen!"

"Overall I'm very pleased. The design and installation went exactly as planned. They also put me in touch with a plumber since I needed to run the natural gas line, as well as coordinated all the electrical work. My only issue is that the agreed upon design was not what was initially provided by the salesperson to the fabrication department. The guys responsible for building the outdoor kitchen believed there to be stucco on two sides and began building to that specification. However I had requested and paid for stack stone, which requires a slightly different dimension. Even though they had started building the pieces in their warehouse, they had to change the construction to accommodate the extra thickness of the stack stone. This delayed the installation by a few days. Of course, they fixed this before they delivered the components to my house, which is a good thing since they had to use a crane in order to get the two large heavy pieces over the back wall. In order to avoid surprises, my recommendation is to closely monitor the fabrication process to ensure that the pieces do not get delivered only to find that they are not what you had agreed on. Having said all this, I would still highly recommend the quality and professionalism of the entire team, As I am very pleased with the end result. <br />"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Golden Valley, AZ

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.
