"Pat and Midwest Landscaping did a great job on my yard. The plants had literally taken over and we had some poison ivy growing between our fence and the neighbor’s. In one morning they trimmed things that had gotten too big, moved plants to space them out better, weeded and got rid of the poison ivy problem. Really the best part was that they used all of our own plants, so we didn’t have to buy anything new. Whenever we need more help with the landscaping, we will be calling Pat."

"Have used them 3 times. Always quick to response and easy to work with. Once I called them on a Sunday and no advance notice. They showed up right way. When I called them for service that Sunday, there was no mention or hassle about how it is Sunday and emergency call and extra charge that and service fee that.... Solved the sewer line problem and charged me normal rate and kept me updated during the whole process."

"It went extremely well. Brian was very easy to work with and he and his crew did an absolutely beautiful job. They were always on time and very clean. They made having work done at our house pleasant. Brian is a great business man with integrity and that means a lot these days. We decided to have our sidewalk pavers taken out and replaced with stamped concrete and we will be having this company do the work also."

"Last Fall I needed my yard cleaned up very late in the season. I contacted Diaz Bros. in Nov. & they promptly sent a person out to give me an estimate. Then we had early winter storms. The weather cleared briefly and I was so impresses & grateful when the crew came out the day before Thanksgiving to do the work in my yard (trimming english ivy, leaf pick-up, trimming iris greens, mowing lawn). They did a great job.
After that great experience, I contacted Diaz Bros. this May for an estimate on a bigger landscaping project. Their rep came out on May 8 and said I could expect an estimate in 5 - 7 days. When that deadline passed I contacted them by phone and did receive an estimate within the week. I had some corrections on plant selection on the contract which I delivered to them via e-mail. This is when the process fell apart. I heard nothing for over a week. I called back, talked with my rep & was promised a revised estimate by that evening. I never received it and there was no follow-up contact by Diaz. My rep had explained that he was having a family emergency & while I sympathize with that I think that there should have been someone in the organization that should have stepped in and at least communicated with me.
So, I would say that if you need seasonal maintenance of your yard use Diaz. I do not recommend them for more elaborate landscaping needs. I rated Overall, Price & Quality based on my 1st experience and Responsiveness, Punctuality & Professionalism based on my 2nd.

"It's been 3.5 years, and the patio looks better than ever with landscaping. The paver edging has shifted about an inch in a couple areas, but that is easily filled with paver locking sand."

"Very pleased with our experience from the estimate to completion of the project. Ibro and his team did beautiful work. We choose to do the demo, but tile, drywall, plumbing installation and new lighting was done by Haris Inc. Communication was great and the work was completed quickly. I have referred to others and will have them back for more work at our home soon!"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Joliet, IL

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.
