"Felix and his team did an excellent job. We had them install sod as well as clear and level a side walkway which was also topped with river rock. Also had a camellia tree pruned and shaped. They take pride in their work. Would highly recommend them. "

"Rather a large project (started out at $20k and we added on some additional work for $10k more). Rotting railroad tie retaining walls (previous owner several decades earlier) removed and replaced with 2-3 man basalt rocks (300-800lb). Steps put also put into a retaining wall going to a patio. Large, well executed operation with the ability to put big rocks in tight places/structures. Estimate was on target along with communication/time expected. Work done August 2018 and is holding up like it was just installed."

"The mortar on the chimney above the roof was falling out. I had four estimates made using Angies List. One of the recommended companies was Premier Masonry Restoration. Steve, the owner, inspected the chimney and recommended tuck pointing the chimney and installing a stainless steel chase cover and chimney caps. He also recommended a sealant be applied in the Spring to prevent damage like this in the future. The other three bids for the work were higher, one even stated that the chimney could not be repaired and would need to be rebuilt. A call to Steve assured me that this was not the case. Lisa in the office was also a pleasure to work with. She kept me informed via email through the scheduling and contract signing process. It was nice to be able to do the contract through DocuSign, saving time and effort for both parties. I will be sent a reminder in the Spring when the protectant can be applied to the chimney. The person scheduled to do the job had a migraine on the day the work was scheduled. Steve called me to let me know and was very apologetic. The work was rescheduled for the next day. The mason showed up the next day with a helper and completed the job in 1-1/2 hours. The chimney looks wonderful! I went on the roof after the work was done and found the workmanship to be excellent. The roof around the chimney was cleaner than before the repair, as the workers even picked up the old mortar lying on the roof prior to the work. I have already recommended Premier Masonry Restoration to one of my friends who has a similar problem with his chimney. I would not hesitate to recommend them to others or to use them again in the future."

"I contacted Smaller Deliveries to deliver 2 different sizes of gravel so I could rebase my driveway and add a smaller layer. This is the first time I've done a project like this. Mark was always responsive with phone calls. The first day, William brought the larger rock and gave me a helpful bit of pro advice which was spot on. He was able to do a great job spreading gravel with the truck. My driveway is circular and hilly. I had 2 loads and he made our day much less labor intensive. The second day, Mark brought the smaller rock, and also was an artist with his ability to get much of the gravel spread along the driveway. Both days were much less work and now I have a very nice gravel driveway. As a side note, I rented a plate compacter, and that is such a game changer for the end product. I will use Smaller Deliveries for future projects, they are friendly and provide great service."

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