"I have been using Wadkins for about 7 years. They do my weekly lawn service as well as landscaping work. I have great confidence in these guys. When I first started with them, I looked out one day and saw Chandler on the mower. He was double cutting the yard to give the diamond criss cross look. I told him he didn’t need to do that because it was a lot of extra work. He said, “but it looks so good on your yard!” They still do it that way. I knew I had found the right guys when someone cared that much about their work. Will and Chandler are rock stars."

"George Allin is an absolute pro in every respect. From the first meeting where George carefully listened to our ideas and respectfully offered different options (including an entirely different way to approach the project, which we ending up choosing!), to the final planting and instructions on caring for our landscaping, George has been a pleasure to work with. He patiently created multiple designs and revisions until we had everything just right. His hardscaping, landscaping, and pergola teams were equally professional. Each took great pride in their work, getting each detail right and cutting no corners. Everyone who worked on the job was prompt and worked long, hard days to deliver an absolutely superior product. Between our wonderful outdoor grilling space, cozy fire pit, pergola-covered dining area, and beautifully new landscaped yard, our family has hardly left the backyard this spring. We would recommend Allin landscaping without hesitation and would certainly hire again for our future landscaping needs."

"NIEDERGESES created a plan for the front yard and recommended flowering shrubs to compliment the house. We changed a few of the recommended plants and signed a contract. The new beds were outlined with paint and grass killer applied where needed. The 2 man team showed up a week later than expected and removed and disposed of the old landscaping and installed the new plants. The work was done in the late fall and some of the plantings died over the winter. Though NIEDERGESE promised to replace them in the spring, we never heard back from them and ultimately replaced them ourselves. Two years later, now, the landscaping is maturing and is BEAUTIFUL! We often receive compliments on it from our neighbors and visitors. The design and selection of the shrubs and trees is perfect. And although we had minor trouble with the timing and understanding at the beginning , we would recommend their designs and certainly hire them again."

"We are very pleased with our experience with Earthscapes. Todd (owner) came out to inspect area and quickly sent a proposal to us. He also sent pictures of what our completed landscape would look like. The irrigation and landscaping was installed over three days. Todd came back to make sure everything was done properly and to confirm we were happy with the work."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Nashville, TN

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.
