"It is my pleasure to recommend Woody’s Custom Landscaping. I had been wanting to have a patio with a pergola put in on one end of my backyard for quite some time. The area had a slope and over the years, I planted some junipers and other shrubs to cover it the ground. Finally I decided this summer to get it done. I realized it was rather late to have this done during the summer but I thought I would try anyway. So in June, I called three hardscape contractors, Woody being one of them and of course all three said that they were booked out through October. One of them wasn’t even taking any bids until July and didn’t even want to come to the house to look at the project. Instead he wanted me to send him pictures over the phone which I did. Three time he said he would call me which he didn’t and I would end up calling him each time; I always like to give people the benefit of the doubt but after the third time, I decided he wasn’t as customer service orientated as he advertised. The other contractor’s estimate was way out of my range. Woody was the only one who came through. He was very forthright – he said that they were also booked and probably couldn’t get to my project until September but he would try to fit me in when he could. I was impressed by his design ideas – presenting creative ideas in an area which I thought was very challenging. His estimate was very reasonable for the work that was done. Woody, with his lead, Darren and his crew team, actually started the project mid-August and finished the project probably in a week when the temperature was over 90 degrees. They removed shrubs, junipers, rocks and excavated the area to be worked on, put in an 11 x 11 (lower patio) & 4 x7 paver patio (upper patio), 19 x 2 retaining wall and built in steps to the upper patio, 2 paver pathways. I also purchased a pergola kit which they together. The whole project turned out great and I am very happy with the work. Woody’s crew team arrived on time every day, always cleaned up the area each day and were always polite, respectful and friendly. Thank you Woody and your crew team for the terrific job!"

"The parking strips (no grass) design exactly fit my desires and I absolutely love it. We have no lawn in front or back yards so the crew maintains beds, keep shrubs trimmed, remove leaves and makes our yards look so neat and tidy."

"Unlike other contractors who bid on the projct, Elmer was very knowledgable about options. He listened to what I wanted, but also provided his ideas based on his experience (which I always ended up going with). He did not and quot;nickle and dimeand quot; me over small changes to the plan and his price was very competitive. 6 months later, everything still looks amazing and I can't wait to enjoy my new front yard this summer! The concrete and rock wall were very well done and he charged much less than some of the other bids for the same quality of materials. <br />"

"Bidding process: Tony arrived on-time for the appointment and was very professional. He measured all of the siding and windows and provided a bid at the end of the appointment. He made several recommendations on options that we could do in order to add curb appeal to the house. We were also very impressed with the handout he provided that showed what installation processes his company uses. Window Bid Adjustment: We threw Tony a curveball and asked if he could quote us VPI windows based on a recommendation from an extended family member. It took a little while to find a vendor but he was able to find one and get us a new quote for the windows. Work: The crew arrived and started to remove the siding but left the old tar paper because it was going to rain. They had about half of the siding removed the first day and installed 1 window and the sliding door. They cleaned up the job site at the end of each day. By day 3 they had all siding off and all of the windows installed. After 7 days all of the siding was installed and the light fixtures and outlets were back in. Painting: The painters recommended that the gutters by pressure washed and they came by the next day and washed all of the gutters. A few days later because of rain and a weekend a crew of 4 painters arrived and started. They were done by the time we got back home! Overall: We had a wonderful experience with Revive Exteriors. Everyone was very professional and the communication was great."

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