"We had a crumbling retaining wall for years. We found out our neighbor was replacing her driveway while we were getting quotes and Jamin came through with a competitive quote right away and he was able to schedule our replacement quickly. His team began work the next day and in several days we had a beautiful wall, skillfully installed with respect to our neighbors and us throughout the installation. No questions were left unanswered and we had no surprises along the wall. Now we have an awesome looking wall that will last for years. Thanks Jamin and team."

"Scott and his crew have installed the most beautiful patio we could have imagined.  It is a joy to look out our windows to see how well the patio compliments the rest of our backyard.  Scott and crew started on Tuesday and wrapped the project up by Friday!  They were truly professional and have given us a beautiful outdoor space to enjoy for years to come.   <br />"

"Work was postponed a few days, but really to events beyond their control (rain). Perhaps could have stayed in better touch about rescheduling, but I am sure they were just busy. The also moved me up in their schedule because of an event deadline by which I needed the work done. The work crew was excellent -- in particular really worked **** ** some difficult replacement of asphalt with pavers where old concrete footings had to be busted up and sawed off."

"For a number of of years we deferred replacing the vinyl siding on our house that was poorly installed and had deteriorated horribly, but after our son and daughter-in-law had their home beautifully redone with Hardiboard siding installed by Craftsmen Home Improvements we knew it was our time. Based on my son’s experience and recommendation, we opted for CHI to install James Hardie siding and soffits and couldn’t be more satisfied with that decision. The work crew (Ray and Luis Nava) were fantastic in all ways; communication, skill and workmanship. They worked tirelessly and efficiently(even in some harsh winter temperatures) and always informed me of issues they encountered with our somewhat “wonky” house 😏 that they addressed with proper solutions. The end result is a stunning transformation of our house that only disappoints us that we didn’t do this sooner! Thank you CHI and especially Ray and his team!"

"Chris came out initially to take a look at the back yard and to discuss the project. I had asked him to put together a design based on some initial ideas and requirements of our own. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about installing patios. We discussed some issues with needing to improve water run off from the back of the house. We were in contact numerous times before start day to refine the design and choose pavers and lighting. Chris was always very responsive to my emails and calls and always pleasant to talk with. On start day, he showed up with his crew and a slew of machinery to excavate and prepare the base for the patio. He worked with me to mark off the perimeter and shape of the patio. When the size of the patio ended up bigger than what I had initially sent as measurements (my error), he didn’t complain- he just said he would order the additional pavers and we’d adjust the final invoice. I had asked him to try and not rip up the surrounding lawn too much and so they laid plywood and made sure that the skidsteers and other trucks stayed on that one small area. This was a real sign of their professionalism to me. I was amazed how the patio took shape in just 1 week. The crew worked through blistering heat and never complained. At the end of week 1, the patio was installed minus the final 4 cap lights since we had to wait for the lights to arrive. I make a partial payment to Chris for the work completed and then 1 week later, he came out and finished the lighting and worked through the electrical hook-ups to the house with our electrician on that day. We used pavers from a vendor who Chris uses and I was pleased with the look of what we chose. The pavers were installed well and Chris used polymeric sand to hold them in place. The job site was cleaned up every night and they moved excavated soil and aggregate base and we never had a “mess” at the house. Part of the project involved them ripping out a concrete landing outside of our adjacent garage access door and I never saw the broken concrete because they just hauled it away. Overall the patio looks incredible and I wouldn’t have asked for a better experience with an installer than what we got with Chris and his crew. I felt that the pricing of the project was very fair and that Chris and his guys were dedicated to finishing the patio as quickly as possible."

"There was a misunderstanding and the worker came and started pulling weeds, and I thought they were going to bring a weed cutter. But overall, they get straight A's across the board from me because they didn't even charge me for the misunderstanding and I thought that was pretty nice of them."

"We had a excellent experience with Sandau. All the way from the initial estimates with Graham, window and siding teams and follow up by Tom. We had all windows replaced and lap siding replaced along with the installation of new gutters and a railing."

"This is a wonderful company! What we we essentially needed was to have a chainlink fence removed and to have the area reclaimed. I wasn't sure who to call for that kind of a project. We checked Angie's List for companies that dealt with fencing and were able to find several leads from people who installed fencing, contractors and landscapers. Of the people we called for estimates, Dusty impressed us the most with his understanding of what we needed done and his "Can do!" attitude. And he COULD DO! He and his crew were able to come out right away to do the work. As is usually the case there were unexpected things that came up--like having to move (and then replace) a pile of firewood piece by piece(!), but these were handled quickly and efficiently. Moreover, the crew was knowledgeable and meticulous in their reclamation work. They really are great landscapers in addition to solid overall workers. While we were originally apprehensive about how the lawn would look after having the fence torn out, we are now delighted. Thanks to Dusty and his crew we're wondering why we didn't do this sooner!"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Newport, MN

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.
