"It went very smoothly. We were given the expectation that the tile take up would be time consuming and messy. Indeed it was. However, once the tile was removed and the floor prepped, the hardwood was installed in one day. The installer came back the following day to install the quarter round and transitions. It turned out beautifully. I think what impressed my wife and I the most was the excellent finishing work they performed."

"I was very impressed with the owner's demeanor and sincerity. He seemed direct and trustworthy and he proved to be such as well. They did a very good job.  The work was done in two parts as promised- first the paving and then the sealing.  The price was excellent in comparison to other companies. I would use them again and recommend them as well."

"They are the best! BardenStone kept me in the loop for the entire process and were very responsive with emails and texts. They cut the stone in a way that utilized the natural patterns the best and also were artful in cutting the backsplash to match the countertops. Everything was EXACTLY as planned with no surprises. Installation was flawless and on time. Their showroom and selections were the best in town and easiest to view. Taking a sample of my flooring, wallpaper, and cabinet made it easier to decide. I recommend them to all my Memphis friends in search of granite. I found them through another friend of mine that had used Barden Stone multiple times and was thrilled with every installation. <br />"

"Same as above- <br /> We really liked the people there, and enjoyed going through the slabs. The company was very patient with us as we took up a lot of their time. We only chose another company to do our work because I didn't like having the countertop's seam located at the middle of the sink, which, from our conversations with them, was the only option. If that's not an issue for you, I would recommend them just for their helpful nature and willingness to spend time with someone who they don't know will hire them. (I can't speak for their actual installation work.)"

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