"Extremely happy with their service. They were on time and charged the price that I was quoted. It was a difficult job because of the tight space, but they took their time and did it right. Cleaned up well. I would used them again."

"Pete Duda great job. He removed a large wood stove and large platform of brick it was sitting on. He installed an electric fireplace insert. He was very considerate in covering furniture and cleaning up all debris. I am enjoying my new fireplace. I highly recommend Pete . He is a professional and a true craftsman."

"My front yard looks like a farm. It has rows in it that are very noticeable due to the machine that Travis used. Dirt washed away because it poured down raining the next day after the Rye was planted. Travis came back and planted more seeds, but the rows remained. When it was time for the Bermuda to be planted, we texted and no response for weeks. We called and he said he would come by and plant the Bermuda, but he never showed up. We texted again and no response. Finally we asked for our $900 back that we paid for the Bermuda seed. Again, no response-Travis did not complete the job and he did not return our money. He did not even return our calls and texts. We will never hire him again and don't suggest anyone else hire him either."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Macon, GA

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.
