"It was going ok last year but I told them several times that I wanted some color added. I know that they planted some tulips, I saw 3 come up. There was also a couple of some kind of what I call buttercup plants and they didn’t last very long. That is another thing, they did not leave any type of plant identification with any of the plants or flowers. They put up a trellis and put in a couple of plants (again can’t tell you what they are) but they were suppose to be climbing up that trellis with lots of flowers. The plant grew about 2 feet and there were no flowers. Also Isacc left the helper to finish up a couple of things one of which was to use a crushed gravel to fill in around some stepping stones but he just dumped them all over the stones. Isacc tried to clean it up but there are still crushed rock over some of the stepping stones. I called them 4 weeks ago now. Someone came out and took a picture and said that it may take 2-3 weeks before some could come out. We are at the end of 4 weeks now and I have left several messages by text and answering machine. Not ONE call back from anyone. For some unknown reason Issac does not want to listen to answering machine messages, but Valerie would sometimes answer the telephone but not now. I guess they figured that they already have my money and can put me off. And yes, I am put off. Another thing is that you best know what flowers or plants you want because they were not very helpful with suggestions. If they had been responsive by now and taken care of a couple of things, I might have given them another try. At this point I really don’t believe they are going to respond."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Hillview, KY

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.
