"After reviewing, researching and getting quotes from numerous sprinkler/landscape companies over the last few months, I settled on Valentin Enviro Irrigation and Landscape to install a new sprinkler system in my front and back yards where there had been no system. The end result and install experience was exceptional to say the least. From the conscientious of Angelica in the office to the skill and attention to detail of Alex and his crew I was impressed and confident from the beginning to the end that the job was being done right and thoroughly. When they left my yard and flower beds were put back together carefully and beautifully and the sprinkler heads were covering all of my yard and flower bed just as I imagined. I watched Alex adjust each head while running to the exact pattern. I am confident that I can count on this company to come back and winterize my system next fall and also do some landscaping work this spring as needed. "

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Houston, TX

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.
