"Arturo and his three-man crew did an excellent job all the way around. The edging and mulch look great. Afterward, the entire area was cleaned up and looked as if they were never there. I would recommend AQ Landscaping to anyone looking for quality work in a timely manner."

"T-Rex turned our nearly impassable, pothole ridden private road into a smooth, completely repaired roadway. Working with T-Rex was great, 0scar is very personable and professional, he gave us several options and prices to choose from, and performed meticulous work. We and our neighbors are very pleased with performance and price. Will definitely recommend T-Rex Excavating to others and work with them again for any future needs. Thank you Oscar!"

"VERY impressed with the work and overall professionalism of Coast to Coast. From the proposal/quote stage all the way through payment, everything was fully communicated, executed quickly, and delivered with the utmost attention to detail —probably 2-3 weeks from first contact to finished work. They fixed the tuck pointing on our very old, crumbling limestone foundation and installed 3 glass brick windows. Even rough areas I would've expected them to miss because I hadn't explicitly pointed them out were touched up. Would definitely use again in the future. THANKS"

"For over a decade, we had been wanting to get rid of the small remaining grass sod in our front yard and replace it with mostly native plants. In 2020, we hired Poul’s Landscaping to design the new front yard and Rick did the design work. Rick totally listened to what we wanted and when he came back with his plan a week later, it was perfect! We removed almost everything that was planted in the front yard and started over. We mentioned and Rick supported removing the old, narrow, straight sidewalk and replacing it with a beautiful, curved side walk; the existing stoop was covered in stone and a second step incorporated. This alone, totally transformed the street view of our house! We absolutely love the upgraded look of the front yard and the stone work matches the color of our brick siding perfectly. They also installed a circle of stone under the bird feeder (on a Shepard’s hook), which not only looks nice, but helps the birds and squirrels find and eat all the seed, greatly reducing the little sprouts that crop up! In addition, two small stone walls and stone steps were incorporated between our yard and our neighbor’s yard (this was a joint project, with 90% of the work in our yard). The walls gave the yard a finished look. The drainage was improved, with re-grading. Rick designed the flower beds to provide color the entire year, from several types of phlox and geraniums and bushes and trees in the early spring and other flowers into the fall. The bushes, trees, geraniums and two of the phlox had already bloomed when they installed the gardens in mid-July, but the Nicky phlox, sunflowers, cone flowers and Black-eyed Susans bloomed continuously from early August and are still flowering in late September! I look out my kitchen window and see all the flowers and it is just wonderful!! Virtually everything in the yard is either native or a native cultivated variety. Natives include Little bluestem, New Jersey Tea, prairie smoke, honeysuckle bush, black chokeberry bush and tall garden phlox. Not only did Rick design for a succession of flowers throughout the year, he also designed for fall color and winter interest. I can’t wait to see the yard next spring!! The two men who worked every day for 8 days were amazing! I could not believe how hard they worked and they were absolute perfectionists. The stone work was amazing. They wore masks all day and answered all our questions. Poul’s has my very strong endorsement for their fantastic design work, quality physical work and fast response to questions. I recommend them without reservation!"

"The job went great. This is the second time I have used Pave Stone. Both jobs went perfect. This time around I needed them to raise the soil level and add new sod in the front and backyard. I also had them put in a patio in the backyard. Sergio gave me many options for the stone. The one he recommended looks great. I couldn't be happier. His team was professional and attentive. The job was not too big, so they finished in 2 days."

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