"It went well - Ken built the scaffolding one afternoon, and completed the work the next day, I think. He seemed very knowledgeable and wanting to do things correctly - even if it was more work. THis is what we wanted. We didn't want a fix quick that might hold up for a year or two, we wanted a job well done that would last 30 years, and that's what we got. <br />"

"I could not have been happier or more impressed with this vendor. Beginning with Bethany who went well beyond to assist me with both the type and quantity of materials I was going to need for a DIY landscape revamp. She took time to find out what I was wanting to achieve and what my setting was to find the right materials for the job. She was very thoughtful and helpful. I wish I knew the name of my delivery driver, but I do not, because he was great, too. We had two different truck loads for the different material so he came twice ~ on time and asked exactly where I wanted the delivery, and in what order, as well. When he found out I had two little boys, he let them and quot;helpand quot; him with the delivery by putting up and down the dump bed. They thought it was the best thing ever. Lastly, the quality of the soil and wood chips that were delivered were top notch. I could not be more pleased. I would most certainly recommend them to anyone and I will use them for any of my future needs. <br />"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Fort Wayne, IN

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.
