"Very pleased with all the grading and excavation and clearing that was done behind my house. I explained to Jason that I needed my yard to be more level due to I could not get my lawnmower up the hill. He discussed with me all options that would resolve the problem. He went over and beyond to resolve the issue. I highly recommend him and would use him again."

"I had some excavation work done almost 2 years ago now. Not only did they cut the road in wrong, they dropped a tree and damaged my out building, and caused a tremendous amount of drainage issues. All was discussed, and it was promised they would fix the issues they?d caused. In good faith I settled on a price for their work; after they NEVER updated me on hours and went over 3x the amount quoted. After multiple text and calls for several months I was ghosted. Money taken and I?ve had over $20k+ in expenses to fix what they caused."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Murphy, NC

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.
