"The worst landscapers imaginable. The grass they installed is nearly all dead as are some of the plants. The worst issue was that they would not listen or follow my instructions- would proceed to do what they wanted to when they wanted to, resulting in lawn damage and major problems with the builders. The project manager would scream and curse at me. Therefore, he was not allowed on my property. Turns out he was doing the same with another one of their local customers. He insisted on speeding up his work with me because he was buying a house and needed the money. I?ve never experienced any contractor so bad as Task."

"Pro-Lawn was on time and performed a massive clearing of about 1.5 acres of land. After completing the job they made sure we were happy with the outcome and even went back over thick limbs on the ground so that they would not damage our zero turn. Polite and courteous and I’ll hire them in a heart beat and would tell anyone looking for a professional team to do work to look no further"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in New Bern, 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.
