"Pat and Midwest Landscaping did a great job on my yard. The plants had literally taken over and we had some poison ivy growing between our fence and the neighbor’s. In one morning they trimmed things that had gotten too big, moved plants to space them out better, weeded and got rid of the poison ivy problem. Really the best part was that they used all of our own plants, so we didn’t have to buy anything new. Whenever we need more help with the landscaping, we will be calling Pat."

"Cleaned out the main sewer even though it didn't need cleaning. What was supposed be cleaned was the catch basin. Crew came over could not open the lid, told me that it would be up to me to open it. Then they would com back. You would think that they would how all the tools and no how to open any and all catch basin. They never called me back or followed up with me. I will never ever use them again. Very disappointed."

"I completely recommend The Diaz Group for all your landscaping needs. My husband and I hired them for our home to enlarge our existing tiny driveway, install pavers, lighting, complete make over of the front landscaping, backyard landscaping, lighting and pavers. Rafael showed us a virtual view of the landscaping by the help of some sophisticated software they use. =)   We were very excited to see it as it looked like a completely different home and so beautiful. All the work was completed on time to which we agreed.  I must say that everyone was professional and were experts in each of their tasks. They went about the job without any fuss and made sure that no damage to any property was made. I mention this because we had our work done the hottest week of this summer July 4th week-100 degree days all week!! Unbelievable how they worked in that heat!  Best quality of work and amount I've ever paid. Love everything!

"A prior contractor had left stepping stones extremely wobbly and had installed them in a ridiculous manner, using 14 stones when only 4 were needed. I also had a couple of other stonework problems. The first contractor I got an estimate from didn't even discuss resetting the stones the way I wanted - he just gave me HUGE estimates for doing something he thought was better in the stepping stone area and redoing the other two areas.
Jan (?) from Townline came out, surveyed the three problem areas, told me frankly that one could not be salvaged and would have to be redone completely, discussed the problems with the second area, and said her company could do exactly what I wanted with the stepping stones and haul away the excess stones for $200. She told me frankly that fixing the other two areas would cost a lot of money. I opted to get just the stepping stones fixed (as they were a hazard).
The work was done promptly and efficiently, and the stones are solidly in place now.

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in North Chicago, IL

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.
