Customers say: Quick response

"His communication was top notch and because his pricing was in line with others I chose him because of their willingness to respond quickly to questions. The concrete is not level with our existing slab and is a potential tripping hazard. We voiced our concerns and they made no effort to make it right only suggesting ways that we as the homeowner could fix ourselves which we are not professionals or capable of doing. We have also since found spots of puddling that are not level. Despite our unhappiness, we did pay though I would have preferred to withhold the second payment. The explanations provided for the unevenness we have since learned were not valid after consulting another concrete company. I am seriously disappointed in not only the professional but in myself for not paying more careful attention to detail as they were working the job before it was too late to correct."

"Work seemed good but then they were supposed to fix a couple of items and decided to stop answering my calls. They said they would send someone and then didn’t take fell off the face of the earth. With this type of work it is extremely important to follow up, so I wouldn’t hire them again."

"This company got shoveled of all the snow in our driveway, sidewalk and steps. Very professional and punctual. They did a wonderful job. This company risked their lives by driving to our house as secondary roads on their route still had snow. The crew were extremely kind and patient. My husband and I have had health issues, so we were not able to do this ourselves. We would hire again."

"I couldn’t be happier with the transformation of my courtyard! Once I requested a quote, the communication was prompt and an appointment was scheduled within just a few days. The team was knowledgeable, professional, and attentive throughout the entire process. They really listened to my vision for a low-maintenance design, suggesting the perfect combination of easy-care plants and zero-maintenance rock bedding. Jim was especially thorough in ensuring everything met our expectations. When I requested a more mature shrub than the one originally delivered, it was swapped out the very same day. They also checked in throughout the installation to confirm the project was on track with what I had envisioned. Start to finish, this company exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality landscaping services!"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Charlotte, NC

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.
