"Green Landscaping did a most excellent job on the retaining wall. First, they provided a reasonable estimate. Then they were available to do the work, They cleared the old broken down wall and another broken flower bed structure, near the retaining wall, In order to properly install the new wall it was mentioned to me that a tree stump and one big bush would need to be removed. That was fine with me and that's exactly what happened. Bye, bye tree stump. The worker that removed the tree stump operated that equipment with great precision. In the process of the heavy equipment moving in and out of the property, some walkway pavers cracked. I mentioned this to them and before all the work was completed, they replaced the broken pavers. At the end, they cleaned up, leveled the gravel that was in the driveway, The wall looks marvelous."

Not one time did I have to question or ask about anything. He is extremely knowledgeable and impressive! Go with Hrinko Excavating for your next job!"

"NTK did an outstanding job building a stone and wood bridge across a stream in my yard. It looks very natural, fitting in perfectly. Last year NTK installed french drains to draw water away from the house. They're a great company to work with and capable of most any kind of earth or stone work."

"This company was a real pleasure to work with from the estimate, to scheduling, to correcting my errors in the contract review process, to installation, and minor repair to the installation. Amanda met with us to get the estimate and listened carefully to our wishlist. The estimate came in under the competitive bid we received and it arrive 5 days earlier. Due to personal circumstances we wanted the job done as soon as possible. Initially that seemed like a request beyond their ability to deliver. But then a miracle happened and some how our job was started sooner than initially expected. The crew arrived at the set time everyday. They worked diligently all day everyday they said they would be there. They had their music and their equipment, but the noise level was never intrusive to us or the neighbors. They left the job site clean and organized and safe for our family each night. The crew was kind and let me observe and comment. When I discovered one option that I thought I had asked for did not make into the official contract - Amanda and the crew worked with me to get a new estimate for the change request and even ended up readjusting the patio design to accommodate the request without buying a new pallet of pavers. The didn't have to do that. They could have said - we don't have enough material and just let it go. I am so happy and impressed that they did a little extra moving things around to meet our revised request. Fitting the pavers into the beautiful design makes me feel like I have a piece of art in my back yard. I love it. We had a slight slump in two or three bricks a few days after the job was complete. They repaired that in a day and then helped me figure out how to prevent it from happening again (it was my gutter overflow issue that caused the problem) the final product was better than I could have hoped for. We enjoyed our patio every night that there was no rain this summer. The pups love it too. I have recommended this company several times and will continue to do so! they also leveled a part of the yard -- installed some decorative lumber to replace our decaying railroad tie edging and ensured that the gutters drained into piping that was routed under the patio so that water flow was appropriately managed."

"Great. They found that the sink hole was very deep but thankfully had not yet caused any sinking of the porch steps or the walkway. Without impacting any of the plantings or a retaining wall that was very close to the situation, they hand filled the sink hole and compressed the material substantially to address the issue and to ensure there is no future settling. I was really worried and their rapid and professional response but my fears to rest so quickly. Back to being perfect with no additional impact. Not an easy job since it was all done by hand without the benefit of a machine."

"Prestige replaced our 1020 sq. ft. asphalt driveway, which was installed when the house was constructed 35 years ago and badly degraded. Jeff promptly responded to our inquiry, provided expert advice upon inspection, and gave us a detailed cost estimate for the work. Prestige completed the job as promised for exactly the amount estimated. The project included excavation and installation of a new base, as well as the blacktop and restoration. They also removed the remnants of a broken basketball post at the edge of the driveway and filled in the hole. The new driveway looks great. The transition into the garage is perfectly level. Connection to the township street is smooth with end joint sealed by hot tar. The Prestige team was very professional from start to finish. They notified us a week in advance of the work to ensure we could support the schedule. They showed up at 7:30 am on the day promised, worked throughout the day and completed the job at about 4:30 pm, including superior clean-up and restoration. Sod adjoining the driveway was preserved and replaced at the end of the job. A small decorative retaining wall separating shrubbery at the edge of the driveway was also restored (and improved). All residual asphalt and debris was swept up and removed from driveway, yard and township street. We are very satisfied with the work and will definitely use Prestige again when the driveway needs to be resealed."

"Dave was very responsive to my request for a bid. Unfortunately we had some inside water problems and had to put the job off for a year while restoration work was done. When I called him back in the spring, he still had my paperwork and honored the original bid. He and his workers showed up promptly every day and worked constantly. They dismantled and carted away the old cement block wall which was crumbling, and installed a beautiful Versa Lock wall, and reseeded and put additional top soil on the damaged lawns on both our and my neighbor's lawns. He took care while working around the existing flower beds, and even managed to avoid my neighbor's Invisible Fence which was installed close to the original wall, as well as managed to locate and protect our Verizon Fios line which was installed close the the original wall (even though after 2 calls to 811, Verizon insisted there was no line in the area he was working on. Verizon never visited the site, and never marked the line with flags.) Dave went above and beyond to locate the wire, carefully dig it up, and protect it from the excavation machinery. The entire project was done in 5 1/2 days. He cleaned up and power washed our driveway where all the equipment, fill, gravel, block, etc.was temporarily housed. We are very happy with the results and Dave and his crew were very easy to work with. Dave was on site himself every day. I would recommend him to anyone for this type of work, and will consider him when we replace our driveway (hopefully not for a few more years!)"

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