"Jeff is an outstanding professional in every way. From the onset when interviewing Jeff as a candidate to remove our old paved driveway and walkway and install a new concrete one, we found him to be courteous, knowledgeable and trustworthy. The end result is nothing short of perfect! Jeff went out of his way to provide excellent communication and service. He answered all of our questions in a timely manner and explained exactly when he intended to do at each step We especially appreciated how he solved a drainage issue . The quality of Jeff's work and his personal integrity far exceeded our expectations. We recommend Jeff and his company enthusiastically and without reservation to anyone needing concrete installation or repair. A+++"

"Very well. Jeff and his team are top notch in every regard. My only concern is the $49 per man/per hour charge which seems reasonable enough but is difficult for those of us who are on a fixed budget to manage .We have already contracted for several more hours of Fall clean-up work at a family residence near-by and it is re-assuring to know that the job will be done well. I just hope we can afford to continue a working relationship with Green with envy in the future."

"Shawn and crew did great job handling extra, unforeseen problems in the hardscaping including a new patio as well as walkways. The landscaping required that they put in an entirely new lawn, shrubs and stone. This was hard work and the results are fantastic."

"BJ came and gave us a quote and recommendations on March 24th and recommended that we do not seal the driveway until the weather was warmer.  Since this was the first time, BJ recommended a brush rather than spray application as it will last longer and make subsequest spray applications more reliable.  When the work started, the guys were very careful not to spread sealant on the grass, landscaping or sidewalk.  We were extremely pleased with the application and coverage.  Our neighbor came over while they were working and decided to use them as well.  He is also very satisfied.  BJ followed up with a visit after a few weeks.  We have recommended them to several other neighbors. <br />"

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.
