"Before the City dug, Ramon moved 12+ feet of stacked rock from around the front flower bed to protect it. After the City finished their work, Ramon re-built the rock retaining wall, extending it to cover the new (WHITE) clean-out pipe installed right in front. He added some extra rock from the back of our yard, hard work on a hot day. He added a 2nd sprinkler head to the bigger flower bed & filled it with good soil & new plants. Looks great! Ramon noticed our front lawn sprinklers weren't working, so dug a long trench to find the line. City workers had cut the line & fixed it a twist of wire! Ramon got the correct supplies & fixed that, too. He does good work and works hard. We'll recommend him to friends."

"We had major standing water issues in the backyard until Drain Xperts helped us out. Mr. Hill came out and gave us a thorough assessment of our issues, talked us through all our questions, and explained his plan to fix it. On the day of service, he and his crew were very punctual and were able to install our system in under a day, and left it looking like they were never there! Would definitely hire them again. Our before and after pics speak for themselves. Both taken after heavy rains."

"We recently had our concrete flooring replaced around the tip of our property by Linda Todar and her team from Best Surface Source, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, Linda was incredibly precise, professional, and attentive to every detail. The entire process, from the initial preparation to the final replacement, was handled smoothly and efficiently. The quality of workmanship is outstanding! The new concrete looks flawless and has truly transformed the area. Linda and her crew went above and beyond to ensure everything was done perfectly, and their dedication really shows. Highly recommend Best Surface Source for anyone needing expert concrete work!"

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.
