"We were on a short turn schedule due to another contractor falling out and spoke to the owner Scott Seddon. He was extremely responsive to our request and gave us multiple options to complete within a two-three day time frame. He mentioned the high and low price proposal and explained he would not know until he was able to survey. We thought that would mean we would be paying the high price. We were extremely pleasantly surprised. His men were out exactly on time and with the proper equipment. They also brought out extra gear just in case. They surveyed the job and made several great recommendations. They completed the trail perfectly and also made sure to spread the excess dirt evenly. They walked the entire ground with us and made sure we were happy with every aspect of the job. The best part was they charged us the very lowest quote they had provided us. Very Professional and would use them again in a second."

"I recently engaged with AAG Landscape Design & Install for some tree work on my property, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the results. From the initial consultation to the final cleanup, their professionalism and expertise shown through every step of the process. The team arrived promptly as scheduled equipped with all the necessary tools and gear for the job to be done the same day that I requested the project. What struck me immediately was there attention to detail and commitment to safety they meticulously assessed each tree discussing their plan of action with me, and addressing any concerns I had I would highly recommend them again."

"The roof was repaired rapidly after the leak was detected. In fact Mr. Murphy called me on a Sunday 2 hours after I messaged him. He was here the next day, determined the leak location, and made the repairs soon thereafter. He's professional, competent, and knows exactly how to make roof repairs. I could not be happier with his work."

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.
