"We were supposed to inspect our granite and decide how we wanted our countertops layed out. We visited Absolute and were told that the granite was not at their warehouse so we could select how the granite should be cut. We had paid a $500 deposit months before to hold the granite. When informed that the granite was ready to install we were told that we had to find someone to install supports on the bar top before the granite could be installed (10 inch overhang needs support). Absolute provide no assistance with this until we forced the issue. Absolute told us it was our problem - they only install the granite. The installers were fine however they told me that the supports for the bar top were not the preferred supports and the bar countertop had to be installed with shims under the bar top to make it level. This could have been avoided if Absolute also installed the supports for the bartop - they are the granite experts - not me - the homeowner. Installation was OK but the finish of the granite surface has many small holes and defects and in some areas are rough. Research informed me that the granite surface was not finished properly because the surface should be smooth. Overall I was not happy with the service or product from Absolute. I had another granite countertop installed when I lived in another state and the finished product and service was much better."

"Juan, his son and the rest of the crew did a great job in repairing and installing a16 foot second wall with column to my patio. They also had to remove half of the pavers to re-level the patio and added pavers to fill-in the 3 feet of bed between the house and the patio on the left side of the steps. They were punctual and very professional. They laid down 4x8 plywood from my front driveway around the back of my house for heavier equipment to protect my grass. My wife and I could not be more pleased with the job that they did and plan to have them back next spring to add some lights to the other wall and columns as we really like the one's that they installed on the new wall."

"I called to get an estimate to repair 3 chimneys and some deteriorating mortar on my brick city town home. Brian got back to me promptly and scheduled a time to evaluate what I need. He quickly got back to me with a reasonable estimate and I scheduled the work to be done. The work was completed within a couple weeks and appears to be done very well. Throughout the process Brian was very professional and friendly. Communication throughout the process was great and the results look awesome. Would use again and/or recommend. <br />"

"We hired John Elliott General Contractor to do a wide range of work. Room remodeling in which a suspended tile ceiling with insulation was replaced with a solid sheet rock ceiling and new insulation. An existing sun deck was completely replaced and well enforced. The workmanship and materials used were first class. The appearance of the new deck is very pleasing. Remodeling in house stairs, including installing a new light. Installing an addition to a concrete walkway in the front yard. All the work was done with exceptional quality. The crew was always on time and all jobs were done timely. Clean up was done daily. They have demonstrated the flexibility to adjust to any existing conditions on site. I would highly recommend John Elliott general contractor for any in house or around the house work. He is professional with exceptional honesty. We have used their services in the past and we will be hiring them in the future for additional work."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Hockessin, DE

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.
