"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."

"A month ago, I met with the company president to discuss refinishing two of the marble floors in my home.  During that meeting, the president noticed that I could possibly have more damage UNDER my floors by the way one of my marble tiles had broken.  He was absolutely correct.  I had a contractor look at the damage and he confirmed that there was damage to my subfloor that needed to be fixed.  After having another company repair the floor, I asked Dustin Nichols, President of SOLID ROCK REFINISHING COMPANY to come and refinish the newly repaired foyer and master bathroom.  His brother in law, Eric, who also works at the company, and a crew of men came to my home on the date agreed to and at the correct time.  During the first day of the job I learned about the other services this company does.  During the next two days, I had this team and the president fix broken ceramic tile in another bathroom, refinish the two marble floors, they cleaned the grout in three ceramic tile bathrooms, fixed two counter tops of cultured marble, and seal four bathrooms so that mildew can not grow on the grout.  They did all of these services for the original price.  I am thrilled with their service and the work done. <br />"

"Wilson Grading showed up when they said they would and they stayed late to complete the job in one day. They did everything they said they were going to do and a couple of extra things that were small, but showed me they had my best interests in mind. I plan to use them in the future when I have dirt hauled in to build a pad in my pasture."

"I like them a lot individually. They always show up on time and I never have a problem with them showing up. They do a very good and professional job. When I occasionally ask them to do some extra things they do it. They are very polite and I have recommended my neighbor to them who has also been happy with them. They are prompt, friendly, respectful and do what they agree to. I am not sure about how their pricing stands out as I have never used such a service before. I would use them again in the future."

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.
