"We purchased a house in Glendale and the landscaping was overgown. Fred came by promptly to provide an estimate and it was quite reaosnable considering the amount of work that needed to be done. Fred walked us around the property, told us what each plant was and what care it would need, and even pointed out some problems with the drip irrigtation system. He recommended replacing the small battery-operated sprinkler controller that the previous owner had installed with an outdoor unit hooked up to the service panel that he could adjust during his visits. We noted after the clean-up visit that all the plants were in much better shape and that he had removed all debris. We were so pleased with the service that we signed up Fred for biweekly lawn mowing and monthly landscape maintenace (fertilizer, adjust sprinkllers, trim shrubs, etc.). We highly recommend Fred for your landscape needs."

"Anderson Construction was great. I had Klay install butcher block counters for me, but I did something with butcher block I'd never seen done before. I had him install waterfall butcher block counters and he did such a good job. They turned out amazing."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Payson, AZ

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.
