"We are very pleased with the outcome of this project. From the initial phases when Tim Glasco came out the house and assessed our situation and proposed a solution that would be both effective concerning drainage and aesthetically pleasing. It also turned out to be fire protection barrier, in that there are now no combustible plants within 10 feet of the house. Tim and the crews that did the work are all very professional, knowledgeable, and dependable. He suggested several changes as the work progressed which enhanced the project, and worked with us to make some changes which we desired."

"Dave and his team were awesome! They were very knowledgeable about many things including natural boulder placement, grading and irrigation. I also appreciated their sensitivity to the existing landscape and how clean they kept the worksite. All three on the crew were sweet to our dog and our son and felt like part of the family by the time the job was complete. We are incredibly happy with their work and we plan on hiring Rothgery & Sons next summer for another project. Highly recommend!"

"<p>After obtaining a bid from a prominent local tile business that I thought was too expensive, I asked Levi's Custom Tile for a bid that came in at one third the price for the labor compared to the other vendor. Levi and is workers installed the tile on time, as specified, and did an excellent job. Very professional. We plan on using him again for future jobs.</p> <br />"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Hartsel, CO

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.
