"We highly recommend Big Sky Exterior Designs. They took care of both our siding and window needs. The job was completed on time, on budget, and done with exceptional quality work. The site was left as they found it. Todd was great to work with and answered all of our questions and kept us updated throughout the entire process. We will use them again if the need arises."

"Very nice experience.  Ken was very nice, provided suggestions to improve the work we wanted to do, started the job on time and finished when he said he would.  We ran into unexpected blue rock that impacted the depth of the pad, Ken provided several options for us to choose from as to how we wanted to tackle the situation.  Great communication kept us aware of when where and what throughout the project. We will definitely be calling him back for future projects."

"When I decided to build a new house, I called Doug, so he was in on the ground floor (no pun intended). From planning through construction, he worked with the builder and with me to make sure that the grading, drainage, landscape design, drives, walks, and patios were coordinated and constructed at the appropriate times. If there was anything that he felt was not working to my advantage, he always contacted me to discuss it. As a result, I ended up with not only a beautiful yard, but a good value. From the fire pit to the beach, I’m very happy with my landscape. <br /> <br /> <br />"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Kila, MT

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.
