"Perfectly. Carl met with me for a challenging problem/project I had previously hired (years ago) another contractor to solve/install. It involved installing a natural stone “stairway,“ with landings, on two small hills. The previous contractor did not succeed. Carl assessed and knew instantly what needed to be done, gave me a reasonable price, communicated effectively, always showed up on time with his crew and, at the risk of sounding hyperbolic, did a perfect job. Every member of his crew was customer and project focused. I already plan to welcome them back for another project elsewhere on my property."

"G&B recently completed a driveway, sidewalks and patio with fire pit for us and it turned out beautifully. George offered several helpful suggestions for choosing the right color and stamping pattern to really tie the project in with the house. These extra details are why we chose G&B above the others. The crew was prompt on completing the projects as well as courteous and mindful of our neighbors during the job. Highly, highly recommend for any concrete needs."

"J. Scott Paving repaired a 5'x8' area of our driveway that was excavated for a chimney foundation repair and they also sealcoated the entire 150 foot driveway.  I found them based on online reviews.  Working with John Sr. and John Jr. was a great experience from start to finish!  We got a clear written quote at the time of their initial review and it was slightly lower than 2 other quotes from other contractors.  They prefer to be contacted via cell phone and either answer immediately or return the call the same day after leaving a message.  They were flexible on scheduling as we needed to delay the project a few times because of conflicts with other contractors who were still using the driveway.  The 3 team members who did the repair/seal took their time, addressed all our questions, offered advice and were kind and courteous - they did a great job addressing the details around a radon system fan and new fence posts.  After about a week and half, John Jr. called to see if we had any questions, ensured we were still satisfied with the work and offered suggestions for maintaining it going forward - to help ensure the sealcoating would last 3-5 years!  They are very knowledgeable and we have confidence that they will stand by their work.  We enjoyed working with this really nice team and highly recommend them!"

"I was very happy with the solution Alden came up with. I had spoken to another landscaping company and an engineer, and their solutions were not feasible. Alden's solution was both reasonable to carry out and effective. His solution had three parts: adding soil to change the grade so that water would run away from the house, adding an exterior drain pipe to catch the water and deposit it downhill from my house, and removing a brick flowerbed that was trapping the water so that it would not flow away from my house. The drain pipe was installed at ground level and just empties out onto the hill beneath my house. This was so simple I am surprised this did not occur either to me or anyone else. (I did not mind losing the flowerbed since I am not a gardener and honestly it just added another chore I was glad to be rid of.) Alden also noticed that my outdoor AC unit was about to topple over and added soil to level out the ground beneath the pad on which the AC rested. In general, I found Alden to be experienced in rain and groundwater management, creative in coming up with solutions, professional, and easygoing. His workers were nice and worked efficiently. And I am convinced that this is the best way for most homeowners to effectively waterproof their basement -- using soil grading and ground-level drain pipes to keep rainwater running along the ground away from the house; I think this is more effective and less intrusive than interior water proofing, and that the common method you see of digging to the foot of the foundation and installing the drain pipe there, then backfilling with gravel is unnecessary unless the water problem is that it is actually coming up from below ground rather than that it is running along the ground toward the house."

"They did a great job. It turned out beautifully and the turn around time was very fast. Highly recommend . I purchased a stainless steel sink from them also, which was installed at the same time. They did not remove old countertop as this was a new install."

"We purchased a Fantasy Brown hard marble countertop a little over two years ago from Absolute Marble and Granite. They did an excellent job and were very reasonable. I recently contacted Luu Phan about touching up some blemishes I caused. He was very helpful and also sent Mike to my house to help remedy it. Mike did an amazing job and was very professional, friendly and thorough. My countertops look beautiful and I am constantly getting compliments on them! I would highly recommend this company to anyone!!!"

"Today I had the pleasure of Mr. Duffy and his crew (Miguel, Naviel and Guisseppe) to provide tree/weed removal services to my property. They provided professional and prompt services. Now my yards are free of the weeds, trees and debris. I am very well pleased with the outcome. Even my neighbors have been complimenting the crews work ethics and the outcome. Many thanks and kudos to Mr. Duffy and his crew. Will definitely hire them to maintain my property as well as refer them to others needing services. Tammy D."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Philadelphia, PA

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.
