"AGD did a fantastic job on our paver walkway. We have a newer construction home that had a concrete walkway and a very odd shaped driveway that makes it unusable for parking two cars. I called AGD to get a quote to tear out the concrete walkway, install pavers, and put pavera down next to our driveway to make it usable for two cars. Several other contractors said the job was "too small", and wouldn't even coke look at it. Not AGD... Kameron was very knowledgeable, friendly and more than helpful. They did a great job that we are very happy with, and have gotten many compliments on it already. They are very busy, so you may have to wait a few weeks for them to start the job, but that just means they do great work and are in high demand. Would highly recommend."

"We were very lucky to find Seth and his crew. The quote that he gave us was fair and more than reasonable. As we moved forward with the project, there were several things that we wanted to add or change, and every time his response was "no problem ". And always with a smile and good attitude. Will definitely be calling him back for any future projects. Our job turned out fantastic! Definitely recommend them."

"We felt we received a very fair price, particularly with the 25% discount that was available at the time we contacted Apollo. We visited Apollo's studio and were able to select from a wide variety of pavers and manufacturers.  We also appreciated the advice we received from the office staff there.  Apollo Owner Jose Cuellar and Jesus (the project manager) personally reviewed the daily work to assure it was done properly.  They also were very informative when we asked them for advice on certain issues, for instance, which sealer to use.  The work was done by very conscientious demolition and paver installation crews.  Demolition can be noisy and dusty, but the crew told us what to expect each day and carefully cleaned up the work site at the end of the day.  The paver installation crew was very professional and very attentive to detail - we ended up with a beautiful job.

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Palomar-mountain, CA

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.
