"Professional, efficient, and timely quality work. Well worth the money. My job was was a 28' X 21' parking pad in a sloped and difficult to reach location in front of my house. They removed the greens, installed and compacted gravel fill to level the area with a 2% slope, then installed asphalt by skip loader using hand and power tools to smooth, finishing with a vibrating roller. I got to see their skillset in it's entirety. I am pleased with the results and would recommend them for your job."

"We have a small gravel backyard that reduced to a gross slurry of sharp rock and mud whenever it rained and resulted in a nasty, unusable area. We decided to install pavers to turn this into a usable space. We sought multiple quotes and even accepted one who flaked on us. We are fortunate that he did flake because it was then that we found Cary. Cary took far more time than that other contractors to research our needs and sit down and explain in exacting detail everything that he proposed. His professional and friendly manner put us at ease but honestly I was worried that Cary, clearly a step up from the others we’d talked to, would be crazy expensive. In fact, his bid was the lowest we’d received. Cary and team started work on time and in a few days had a beautiful finished product. He promised us that he would always return if we were unsatisfied with anything and he came through on this too. Our idiot dogs found a way to dig under the fence and hurl mud and stones all over Cary’s beautiful work. We told him about this and he promptly came back out and did another full day’s work, at his expense, to cap the areas our mischievous mutts mutilated. He even cleaned their mess after. If we ever need more paving work done, there is no question that we’ll call Cary back. We will also recommend him without hesitation to friends and family. Also, while not part of his official repertoire, the man is also a genius at calming rambunctious puppies. We’d hire him for that too if he ever takes that on as a line of work!"

"Great! They had a great selection of surfaces; we initially went in looking at quartz countertops, but once we saw their beautiful granite surfaces, we changed our mind and went with granite. They helped us find the slabs that suited us, and then worked with us to identify the best sections of the slab for our needs. The cutting and preparation was precise, and the final product outstanding. We couldn't be more pleased with the entire process. The installation team was very skilled and professional. They were polite easy to work with, and very careful with the cabinets, the new oak floor, and other items in the kitchen. We are thrilled with our new countertops. We will return to ProGranite for our next project."

"HIGHLY recommend Full Throttle Landscape! Our backyard is a slope and rain forms a small lake next to the foundation of our home. We hired Mark and his crew to build a retaining wall and install drainage in our backyard. Mark came over to see the space and give us a quote maybe a month ago. We were then able to be moved up due to some cancellations due to COVID. He checked with us specifically to see if we were comfortable with workers coming over, which we were, and was respectful of everyone's health and safety, as was the crew while they were here. Mark came out again to see the yard, confirmed his original quote, and the crew started work the next day. We changed the block color on him and he was so quick to call in the new order and make it happen (FYI went with the Rainier color). The crew hand dug a TON of dirt and installed a beautiful wall with steps, top stones, and drainage that extends to the front yard and connects to two downspouts from the house. They even took initiative and offered to remove a bunch of ugly concrete blocks between the new wall and our carport which opens up the whole space. It rained for the first time this weekend, and there is no longer any standing water at our foundation, or anywhere else in the yard! Mark and his guys are professional, hard workers, and Mark is very communicative and knowledgeable. We can't thank them enough for their work - we know who to call in the future!"

"A tree fell and was resting on my shed. I explained to Bob that I felt it was dangerous how the tree was currently resting, and he came out after hours at around 8 p.m. on the same day to give me an estimate. After we hired him, he showed up with a colleague promptly at 8:30 a.m the following morning. Other companies quoted me 4 guys and about 4 or so hours. Bob and his colleague took the tree down and cleaned everything up in an hour and a half, and did an excellent job!"

"Step up is fantastic. Our driveway was cracked and needed to be replaced. They provided a reasonable quote, clearly comunicated the process and options, showed up on time and completed the project in a timely manner. They also worked around our availability and the weather. When we replace our concrete steps we will use them again for the project."

"It went ok. I'm not happy there are the turf nails showing all over the place. I think it needed more infill sand spread out. They had extra bags of the sand after the project but took them all."

"Tyler & his brother did a great job.  They were prompt, courteous and went above and beyond on this job.  When they installed the patio in my back yard, they moved the dirt to my front yard and positioned some large granite pieces that we purchased from them so we could create a decorative planting berm after they left.  This job also entailed a little bit of "engineering" for the driveway since it is shared with another landowner, and both of us are very satisfied with the end result.  I would definitely recommend having Tyler come out to bid your project - his prices are fair and both he and his brother's work ethic is remarkable for a couple of relatively young men.  I just wish I could say the same for all of the contractors I've worked with over the years!!"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Lakewood, WA

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.
