"Max and his crew did an amazing job! We had a gravel driveway for 18 years and finally decided to have it paved. Very professional and Max was easy to get along with and answered any questions I had. I would highly recommend Allied Asphalt!"

"Rodney is a Pro that knows what he's doing. He and his crew installed a driveway today and did a fantastic job. He and his crew were friendly and easy to talk with. The price quoted was fair and was exactly what I thought it should be. I had 3 stumps ground out the day before and he cleaned up the shaving and filled the holes for no extra charge. Just did it to be nice. Driveway is great. If you want paving work done, this is the company to call. Great experience."

"Right from the start everything went like "clockwork". Communications and scheduling were timely and accurate. Marsha kept us informed every step of the way. The estimate for the job was fair and reasonable and we signed on and scheduled the job. Showing up on time, communicating necessary information such as delivery of supplies and job scheduling are important. They followed through perfectly. The job was done in one day, the crew was professional, experienced and very clean. We are delighted with our new patio and we do not hesitate to recommend Exotic Pavers to anyone. So, do yourself a big favor, call them for an estimate...you'll be very glad you did!!"

"Ken worked with me on scheduling so that he could finish on a Saturday while I was there to let him in the house. He recommended stucco restoration vs. a complete teardown of the chimney which would have been much more costly, and he did a nice job installing a fireplace insert with liner and termination cap. He accepted the shipment of my very heavy insert and brought it with him on a Saturday.  Ken and his sons also traveled about 50 miles to get to my house. Overall a very good experience and very satisfied with the work. <br />"

"It went well. I recieved an estimate and a good clear explanation of what was causing my 100 year old basement walls to crumble. On the appointment day, Three workers arrived on time and did the job in a few hours. They even patched another small spot that was not in the quote. They cleaned up and hauled out all the debris except for a few scattered chunks they missed. <br />"

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