"Mike Hagen (and all of his crew) are hands down the BEST contractors to work with. Mike is such a down to earth guy, and was so accommodating to build our house the way we wanted it! Even after the house was finished, he has been so responsive in coming to help us figure out the quirks of it all. I HIGHLY recommend him! The next home we build will definitely be a Hagen Construction house!"

"Nicole and Tylar were awesome. They came out with all their own tools and cleared away a bunch of trees that were crowding my trails. They were on-time, on-budget and friendly. Thanks."

"Mark was among three bidders for this project, his price was mid range and substantially higher than the cheapest bidder. His appearance was certainly the most professional, and his demeanor was outstanding. We choose Mark for that reason, he called and gave us a start date and showed up exactly as stated. We were amazed at his professionalism on the job and the neatness with which he worked. Don't kid yourself that neatness will slow this guy down , he was amazing. He wiped out any cobwebs in the high hard to reach spots (23 Foot), dusted before he taped, just super neat. Mark helped my wife move furniture, the fan he is awesome. If you are looking for a painter you can trust to do a quality job, at a reasonable price Mark is your man. Each day he would start with the prep work from the day before, and each evening he would completely clean and pick up tools.. extremely neat.. He even vacuums..My wife expressed daily how appreciative she was of Marks neatness and the quality of work. Hire this guy and he'll be on your Angie's List too."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Missoula, MT

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.
