"Jason was OUTSTANDING. He identified with laser accuracy what was necessary to correct our property drainage issues and prepped our property for seeding. Elevations were perfect! AMAZING. He works diligently until finished. Way ahead of schedule and flawless. Comforting to have a contractor that is this skilled at his craft. Estimate was spot-on for materials needed. The irony is he was also the most reasonable estimate I had. Thanks Jason for the super touch you put on our property."

"I am just thrilled when I look at my property now! Everything was done as requested. The landscape workers were prompt, hardworking, and it was obvious they took pride in doing their best work. It was a joy to see how they worked together as a team. When a couple of details were missed on their last day, I made a call to Jeff, and the crew was back in less than an hour and cheerfully took care of those details. I am so pleased with Green With Envy ... One of the best decisions I ever made."

"I can't say enough good things about Earthtones Hardscape. Jeff gave us a quote for cleaning and sealing our paver patio. He kept in constant communication as to when our job was scheduled and when his workers would arrive. They showed up on time and stayed late until our job was finished. They leveled several pavers, removed stains and sealed the pavers. They protected our sliders from the spray, hosed them off, and even moved our patio furniture. I was impressed with their attention to detail. They made sure that we were completely satisfied before they left. They went above and beyond our expectations. Highly recommend Earthtones Hardscape for all your Hardscape needs."

"Shawn and crew did great job handling extra, unforeseen problems in the hardscaping including a new patio as well as walkways. The landscaping required that they put in an entirely new lawn, shrubs and stone. This was hard work and the results are fantastic."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Mechanicsburg, PA

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.
