"Corey met me the same day to provide an estimate, and while I initially thought his estimate was high, after receiving other quotes I realized that it was reasonable for the work being done. He texted me to keep me informed along the way which I appreciated. What I like about Corey is that he’s an honest, straightforward guy. Tree work is notoriously expensive as home/landscape expenses go, and he gets it - he won’t try to sell you something you don’t need or pressure you into having more work done than is necessary. It’s hard to find service professionals like that and I would highly recommend him to anyone."

"The design process with Timothy was very pleasant and professional.  He provided choices for plantings and helped me select the most appropriate.  There was a long wait for implementation, which was not unexpected.  An implementation date was finally given but nobody showed up, and nobody responded to my phone calls.  Eventually Timothy emailed me and apologized for the problems.  Work finally began several days later.  The crew, headed by Brandon, did an excellent job.  However, they were often delayed waiting for material or equipment to be delivered. <br />"

"The jobs took a few days in total. We had them do 2 phases to our project. They were pretty much on time and did exactly what we wanted. Shannon was very professional and helpful. We will probably be using them to do the rest of our front area in the spring. I would recommend them to anyone. <br />"

"We like to see the mulch because we're always nervous whether the landscapers were picking it up from the dump or not.  They don't charge you with the shipping and they deliver it.  If you order 10 yards of it like a minimum order; the delivery fee is free.  They're great and wonderful.  They've been easy going too."

"Gary Bayse is the best!  He showed up at 8:00am on the scheduled day and had all work completed before I got home at 5:00pm. The gravel driveway looks brand new.  The weeping cherry tree was planted in exactly the right spot and surrounded with brown mulch.  The old hot tub cover was gone.  Everything was cleaned up so well you could not tell a contractor had been at my house that day.  His prices are extremely reasonable. <br />"

"The entire job was done in a professional and excellent manner. The crew arrived on time, set up and worked as a team, cutting, roping and cleaning. The yard was thoroughly cleaned and left in excellent condition, even sawdust was removed from the yard and roof. We also had the stump ground down. We have had several other smaller jobs done by Angel and they were done in the same excellent manner. I plan to use this company in the future and would gladly recommend them to anyone needing their services."

"It went well - we really liked working with Justin.  Our driveway is gravel, and it's steep.  It has always been a challenge - we called Justin's company because we thought if he knew how to handle water he could grade the driveway in such a way that it did not rut and wash the gravel away. <br />       Justin proposed a plan that we were good with.  The biggest surprise was that the plan changed - and I was not aware - so I was surprised when it was completed in such a way that did not match the expected plan.  But it has worked well, draining the water, which was the goal. <br />       The work was done exactly when expected and did not take too long to complete.  We did have to purchase additional rock, which was also not part of the initial plan, and that was a separate transaction - early on we did not think more rock was needed. <br />       We were so happy with Justin's work that we've had him come out since and smooth the driveway again (as I said earlier, it is a constant challenge - the UPS and FedEx trucks brake on the hill and it makes a mess).  Justin is responsive, easy to work with, and reasonable.  We would definitely use S&S Landscape And Water Solutions again! <br />"

"Brick repointing went well and looks great. The drainage was also done and looks great. I did have to have them fix a drain pipe. They installed a perforated pipe which just left the drainage water stay where the problem was. They returned and installed a solid pipe. It solved my water seepage problem."

"any as i wanted to to try in my house.I went to this store to look at various ceramic tiles. The people there were friendly and professional. I was able to check tiles out to try in my house. The prices were competitive with other stores. Unfortunately, they did not have what I was looking for so ultimately did not order any tile through them. <br />"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Ladysmith, VA

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.
