"I normally do not give 5 stars because it signifies perfection. But sincerly after using Fernandez Landscape I have zero complaints. The initial consult was very well explained and everything was detailed completely. The work started as scheduled and the workers were polite and continued to go above and beyond to explain all the details of the job. I would recieve pictures via text of the work progress and the job was completed as scheduled. I strongly recommend their services and will use them for further contract work on my house. "

"they did good work, took only 2 days to scrape the gravel part of the driveway to widen it and then to lay the asphalt. The only problem I had was that the materials that were scraped up, gravel/grass was left in a pile at the end of my front yard and they never came to clean it up, despite being called numerous times and being told they would come and pick it up. 2 months later and they have never shown up to clean it up so now I have to figure out how to remove it from my yared before the town starts complaining and I end up getting fined. They defiintely need to stand by what they say the will do and follow through"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Katy, 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.
