"Chief Pavers did a great job on my small back patio. They came out for an estimate on Thursday, and did the job that Saturday. They were fast and efficient, and the deck looks beautiful."

"Famulous price and service. They moved all the patio furniture and pressure washed driveway, walkways and pool deck. They then applied multiple coats of water based sealant to all the pavers. Pavers look brand new! I would hire them again in a jiffy."

"Marblelife was recommended by a family member - a picky family memeber - who had work completed by them a few years back.  We got three estimates including Marblelife.  Marblelife's quote was in the middle - but they met the low bid and were the only offeror who had experience with Tennesse Marble (which is actually limestone).Chris Hudson (President) visited first to estimate the job, then after "award", Les, Victor and Joe came to house and carefully masked the walls with wax paper before brining in the polishing equipment. <br /> The results were fantastic.  We detected some scratches after the work was complete that were missed.  I called Chris and he sent Les out in short order to polish and reseal those ares - I think we missed them because originally the floor was not polished (installed in 1949) and the great results were a bit overwhelming so some of the details were difficult to detect. <br /> Chris and his team did not question anything; just made the corrections.  I trust them completely and felt I received very good value formy money. <br />"

"Oh my goodness! I can’t say enough about the wonderful work Sarasota Marble Restoration did to restore my shell stone floors back to life! My floors look brand new! Jose gave me a detailed description on what they would be doing but he couldn’t guarantee that all of the dirt and grime would be erased! I am amazed at how little disruption we had while they were here! Miguel and Omar did a fantastic job! At the end of each day, we were able to walk on the floors and go about our living! I couldn’t be happier! We were so pleased with the work, we had them clean our lanai travertine floors. I highly recommend Sarasota Marble Restoration!"

"The sod was delivered in the morning - freshly cut and very healthy. I installed it over the next couple of days and watered like crazy. I have a gorgeous grassy area now! They had the best price on sod delivered from Lowe's or Home Depot!! <br /> The "plant lady" was very helpful and informative. I really like this place and would recommend them to anyone. <br />"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Myakka City, FL

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.
