"I have a long easement and an area for a future carport that needed to be paved with crushed concrete. Mitch Stevens of Bay to Bay Paving was knowledgeable and clear in his explanations and suggestions. He came across as someone trustworthy. The project was completed today, and I'm very satisfied with the results. I highly recommend this company."

"I rate this provider responsive, responsible, well-organized, and reasonable in price. Kevin Murphy installed a shell driveway for me. He had my old cracked concrete driveway removed and hauled away, graded the area, installed underlayment, and added a topping of fine shell, all in one day (in fact, within two days of my initial inquiry on Home Advisor) and for a reasonable price. I now have a hard, well-packed driveway (and additional parking pad) meeting my specifications. I would definitely hire him again."

"Great company to work with. They did the work quickly and cleaned up after the job completed. Before they started the job, the owner explained the details of what they planned to do and they did exactly what they said they would do.. Great company and crew. I will use them again."

"Mitch Stevens has resealed our driveway in the past. We added another area of paving which was just finished. We had the existing driveway resealed again. Everything looks new again! Thank you for a job well done, as usual!"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Palmetto, FL

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.
