"I am just thrilled when I look at my property now! Everything was done as requested. The landscape workers were prompt, hardworking, and it was obvious they took pride in doing their best work. It was a joy to see how they worked together as a team. When a couple of details were missed on their last day, I made a call to Jeff, and the crew was back in less than an hour and cheerfully took care of those details. I am so pleased with Green With Envy ... One of the best decisions I ever made."

"This work started last summer and still looks terrible. They said the lawn needed to be completely replaces and the area thatched, aerated, and reseeded. They killed all the grass and mounded the thatch around the edges of the yard. When the grass didn't grow there, they came back and spread a little seed which also did not grow. This spring the yard still looked terrible with the thick thatch around the edges. Although we have complained many times since early spring, they claimed it was too cold to plant grass until May. They still have not corrected the mess they made and our lawn looks terrible."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Harrisburg, PA

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.
