"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."

"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."

"I'm really pleased with the fence installed by P Sqrd. Phil was quick to respond from the initial measurement and quote stages through to the end of the installation. I especially appreciated that he put together the order and emailed me the cart so that I could easily pay at the store without having to figure out exactly what items I needed. He also made an extra effort to see if he could get better pricing for me, which was very thoughtful. On the day of the installation, there were four guys who took care of everything, and I appreciated that so many people were available as it meant the job took very little time. I am really happy with my fence and would definitely recommend P Sqrd."

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.
