"Rocking R Home and Yard Services has been our choice for more than 5 years in helping us with multiple moves. Peyton and the team were careful to be sure items were packed and moved without issue. after working with Peyton for so many years, he's like family. He cared for our things as though they were his own. I highly recommend Rocking R Home and Lawn Services. I wouldn't trust anyone else to move our cherished, irreplaceable items."

"I met with seven landscapers whose estimates ranged from $8,000 to $21,000. Three of the landscapers including Heller were in the middle, $12,000 0 $14,000. I checked references and looked at the previous work of the landscapers, talked to homeowners who used and to their employees prior to deciding whom to select. I chose Ronnie Heller who was professional at all times. He did not want any money upfront, told me when his men would appear start work, and followed through on everything he planned.He did not rush through the project, taking his time. He filed the paperwork with the Community Association, walked through an amendment when the landscaping guidelines were changed, and his employees cleaned up the area every day. Minor problems that always occur on a project of this magnitude either through miscommunication or faulty equipment were immediately corrected. His employees are courteous and responsive to questions. This was a good experience."

"This company did an overall good job.  The only exception is that they basically cut my crape myrtle in half after I discussed with the owner that I did not want it trimmed down that far.  The owner apologized and stated that he communicated my desire to his crew and that he would have a talk with them. <br />"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Harker Heights, TX

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.
