"Dan (the owner) came out with one worker on short notice and repaired a sprinkler head in our yard.  The service was prompt, fairly priced and we were pleased with the whole experience.  I called this company hoping to see someone soon but did not expect to see them an hour later and have the problem fixed.  Could not be more pleased and would certainly recommend them to others. <br />"

"I called on Monday. On Tuesday he called back and set up an appointment for Linda to come on Wednesday. She came, looked it over, and gave me an estimate. On Thursday morning, she showed up and started the work - it was too hot to work all day and she was working between rain showers. She returned Friday morning and finished it up. It was the easiest landscaping business I've ever worked with. Linda was professional and hard working. I believe I got my money's worth. She charged for the job and then once she knew what plants I wanted, picked them up and allowed me to reimburse her for them - no mark up on them."

"Tony called when he said he would. Tony and his one man crew came when they said they would getting started at 7:30 a.m. They came on a Monday holiday when the stores were mostly closed. Tony had to run from my home to a city 50 miles away (100 miles round trip) to get the needed part. It is only a $100 repair but I paid extra for the prompt work done perfectly. HIRE THIS GUY!"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Long Beach, MS

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.
