"Very professional outfit from beginning to end. We're very happy with the new driveway, they did a great job. Neighbors are envious. They made sure the driveway had a solid stone foundation before laying new asphalt. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone."

"Chad and his crew were wonderful to work with. Chad came out gave me a very fair price quote the same day for what we needed to have done and they started the next week. In two days they had my front yard leveled out and almost 4000 sq ft of new sod laid. Amazing job, looks absolutely gorgeous. Chad is courteous and very professional to work with !"

"Very courteous, professional young man. Very reliable and dependable, something one would not expect from the younger generation. My wife and I have been very impressed and fell very blessed to have this individual and his crew doing work on our property. Our neighbors compliment their work extensively. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone wanting from the smallest job to the largest job. Chase is the mans name who runs the business, and him and his team are very hard workers, no slacking or milking the clock. They work from the time they arrive until the job is complete. Very impressed. Almost want to hog him and his crew to ourselves, but I guess we won't do that. LOL <br />"

"I give him a fair rating because he did pick up the phone and continue to engage. There is a bad pattern of contractors in this region ghosting you for better jobs. I have remodeled multiple properties and own rental units in the region so I am familiar with the process. I contacted him by phone and he shut me down pretty quick to just text him the specs of the job. I provided him very concise description of the work involved via text. He quoted me a price of $875 to set 46 blocks, labor only. I thought this was an extremely high price compared to the $150-600 quotes I had received for the same job. The reason I continued to engage Steve was because the other contractors had a longer lead time and time is money. After that he asked me to drive 45 minutes to a job he was at to sign a “contract” for the work. When I called him to set the meeting place he asked if I “brought my check book”. This set me off a bit. As a background and complete transparency, I am a degreed engineer that has been responsible for the bidding and construction of multi-million dollar projects. I recognize that this does not make me qualified to truly judge a small residential job like I was asking Steve to do but it does give me perspective. My issue with Steve beyond his incredibly high price was that he wanted almost 80% deposit on a labor only job with a large window to completion in his “contract”. He did say he hoped to finish much sooner than that, but any down payment on a labor only agreement should be at 25% or not at all. When I pushed back he tried to tell me it was “standard practice” which I can assure it is not. I was done at this point. He did back off this, but acted like he was doing me a favor. I then asked about the quantity of mortar I had purchased was sufficient (it was in the bed of my truck) and he told me it was way too much. I agree that it was more than needed (it’s $10 a bag, does it really matter?) but to fill the cores it was not too excessive. He told me that was not part of the deal and would cost $150-300 more, now a $300 job for $1,200. In his defense I did not spec the block fill, but for almost $900 I figured he would plate it in gold for me. After reviewing the “contract” I had to drive 45 minutes to see I decided it was best to talk away from a contractor like this. I understand trying to protect your self and your business, but this was excessive. As I was getting in my truck I hard Steve say something along the line of “I have time in this”. I am guessing he is referring to reading a text message, typing a bs contract and spending 20 minutes trying to collect a check. He never came to the site, I had to come to him, I know he doesn’t want to pay my hourly rate. I quoted “contract” several time in my comment. I deal with construction contracts every day and what Steve gave me was not a contract prepared by a Tennessee attorney. It would be easily defeated in court, I say this if you have been wronged by him. I will never deal with Steve again because of the way he acted. His work may be great, but dealing with bs is not worth it. Steve, reading your other review responses I assume you will leave a detailed response as to why I am uniformed and not knowledgeable about your process. I promise that I am both informed, knowledgeable, and ready to defend myself and my statements."

"This company was great, start to finish. When I first asked for an estimate, Doug came out immediately, was polite and professional, made the estimate, explained what I did not understand and applied no pressure. I called back four moths later and asked him to come again and explain a few more things - he was there the next day, happily remeasured (he was right the first time) and worked out more details with me. Part of the job was mine and part was for a shared driveway. He worked with me very professionally to do the jobs on separate contracts and scheduled them back to back to minimize the time we would not have access. His crew is professional, very polite, efficient, and left the work area clean - not a tin can or cigarette butt to be found. Doug and the foreman Nick checked in with me frequently, problem solved my water flow issues, and left a gorgeous new driveway. The price was very reasonable and the job was well worth it. Doug is clearly a scrupulous guy, and Nick leads a very positive, skilled team."

"After the initial call and estimate it took 14 days before they came to the house. We had an electric gate opener repaired (which has gone out since they repaired it) and plumbing work, which also needed repaired in a few weeks by another plumber."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Johnson City, TN

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.
