"Tyson went above and beyond the job he was hired to do. We agreed to his clearing my yard to put in a patio. He ended up putting in a full stone patio for me that includes a space for a fire pit that is level. Quality work and deserves a 12 out of 10. Highly recommended. This site won't let me upload photos, says file is too large."

"He was exceedingly prompt and efficient at getting the work done, which was in contrast to other contractors I called, who never even returned my call. Having given me an estimate the previous year, he did the work for the same price, got finished on time and did an excellent job. I will hire him again if he is still available."

"Joshua was excellent to work with. Very responsive. And did a great job. Would give an A+++ if Angie's List supported it:) We needed a 24 foot by 50 foot area cleared for the well drilling rig and support truck, as well as extending the existing driveway up into the woods to the cleared area. There were a significant number of medium sized trees that needed to be removed as well as a number of tree trunks. The job took a few more hours than expected due to issues with part of the area not having stable soil until digging down about 5 feet or so. But Joshua worked steadily and was able to get a stable level base for the well drillers. Spent a lot of time making sure the area was well compacted. We decided that it would be better to add crushed stone to the driveway to help control erosion and to provide more traction for the well drillers. Joshua does very good work, and he made sure that it was done right. Even with the extra work that had to be done, and the spreading of the stone the price remained the same as the initial quote plus the cost of the stone. We gave Joshua a nice bonus over and above what he charged for the job. Once the well is drilled we will have him come back to pull some of the dirt that was excavated back down since we only need to leave about half the width of the cleared area to provide access to the well for repairs in the future. Highly recommend Country Boy Excavating."

"She was a good talker and she based her comments on what I was looking to. She said we go in and we get the job done and not sit around and take an hour for lunch. We are going to work for you and charge you for the work and we leave. Based on that and the charge and her estimate on one day, we said okay, fine. However, she was supposed to e-mail me an estimate and we never heard from her again."

"Crew arrived on time and when they began work, found out the problem was more extensive than originally estimated.  After dealing with the bigger problem, the smaller problem of some damaged soffit and guttering was addressed. Work was probably completed in about 3 hours"

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