"I did my due diligence and obtained multiple quotes for sod installation. Chris with Doctor Landscaping gave a very reasonable quote. By comparison, it was a rather small job (1350 sq ft), but Chris treated it like a larger one. Excellent customer service, very responsive, and kept me informed during each stage of the project. Showed up for the estimate and the job when he said he would, and finished the job even sooner than my expectations. I'm happy with his work and would highly recommend him for any of your landscaping needs. Good price, good work, and even better customer service. You'll be glad you chose this 'doctor'.."

"A++++ I am an older person and it has been a minute since I’ve experienced great workmanship. My yard looks 100% better and the attention to detail from both gentlemen was outstanding. How refreshing to see and receive great work! 6 yards of mulch was a lot of work."

"I needed some new plants put in my flower beds, some dead shrubs replaced, as well as general maintenance and mulching. I found Zach at Creative to be very helpful and knowledgeable. His crew was efficient and did a good job. We walked the project upon completion and Zach did things on his own to make certain I was happy with the work. I would recommend Creative for your landscaping needs."

"Dan and his team were fast and reliable, but most notably, Dan was very collaborative and helpful when discussing the project. His experienced advice at the start meant that the result was better than my original plan. The project was creating a road with switchbacks on steep, forested land."

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.
