"It went well! The landscaping looks great, they relocated a drain so it wasn't destroying the landscaping or the lawn. They removed a tree that was pressing up against our house. Also, they removed all the current shrubbery except for one item that we wanted to keep. They then added in a beautiful selection of bushes and flowering plants, which we helped select, that really will add life to our front yard and help add to the neighborhood! They took care of our sprinkler system, modifying what they needed to and making sure that the plants would get the coverage they need. Overall we are happy with their service! We can't wait to see how it will look when it all grows in."

"I hired Diamond Pro to fix the slope in our backyard so we could install a level fence. I met Jason at my property and where he assessed the situation and came up with a plan to regrade the yard. He is very knowledgeable and organized. He also has top of the line equipment and connections with other trades to help you finish the job completely. Very good company. Definitely recommend."

"Perfect Way Pavers, Inc. Is an excellent organization, from the owner Rafael Sousa who heads up the hardworking crew to Rose his wife, who is in charge of the business end of the company. Together they provide a perfect combination of skills and talent that produces excellent results. They installed a paver block patio, butting up to an existing patio, that by their own admission wasn't the best match to the existing patio. On their own, they decided to remove it and installed a better match, at no charge to us. Very professional! In addition, we had a major depression in our paver driveway where they removed the existing pavers, leveled the base and reinstalled the pavers. It's now perfect and you can't even see where the repairs were made. We have scheduled them to come back after the Holidays to repair the paver walk to the front door. It has roots from the abutting plantings lifting the pavers. We're certain they will do an excellent job! One big plus for Perfect Way Pavers is that after they leave, you cannot find one speck of dirt, sand or other construction debris. Very thorough clean up."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Melbourne, FL

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.
