"Forest Landscaping was great to work with. Erika was very helpful and knowledgeable. What I really appreciate was the fact that they started the job when promised, they cleaned the job site each day, they showed up each day at the scheduled time and finished when promised. They are very professional. We are happy with the landscape and jobs they completed in our back yard."

"Tom was very good working with us to accomodate our travel schedules. With the fence we also installed a keystone wall. These were done expertly. He insured the new fence tied in smartly with an existing chain link fence. He also installed a temporary deer fence. A short time after completion, there was a problem with the gate. When we called, he was out the next afternoon to correct it to our satisfaction. I highly recommend TLC."

"Our project w/Habiscapes went very well. Michael and his team were easy to communicate with, worked collaboratively, had good ideas and performed quality work. In addition, Michael was very willing to help us blend cost-saving "do-it-yourself" ideas w/his services. To get his team into your yard, which I definitely recommend, make sure to plan ahead. Have a clear idea of the work (from a designer, which he can steer you to, or from your sketch pad) before reserving your spot because he has a packed calendar in the key gardening months. We're thoroughly enjoying our updated landscaping!"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Mountain Home, ID

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.
