"From the beginning to the completion of our project, the R and T crew did outstanding work. Richard came up with a design and suggested plants for a circular rock garden in the center of our front lawn, an area in full sun. Richard’s estimate was very detailed and the price fair. The crew removed contaminated soil that remained after the removal of a diseased palm tree, then added new soil, weed cloth, and the plants. They installed a foundation of river rocks and topped them off with boulders. All we have to do is make sure the plants have enough water. The rock garden was the right choice for filling the empty space."

"Surface Pro provided a detailed price quote for  reinforced landscape concrete curbing around a variety of gardens on my triple lot property.  They were extremely professional and answered all of my questions in a prompt manner.  Once I selected them for the job, they worked with me to determine a convenient installation date.
On the day of installation, they showed up on time and walked through the property to show me exactly what they would be doing and provided suggestions to make the landscape curbing flow in the most aesthetically appealing way possible.
It was a large job exceeding 538 ft. which required one full day's worth of work.  They worked consistently throughout the day and took extra precautions at the end of the day to cover all of the curbing with plastic, as the weather was calling for rain.  The owner of the company came to the site at the end of the day, to review the work performed, which added that extra customer service that is typically not found in most contractors.
Surface Pro did not require any deposit prior to completion of the work, and once the job was completed, took payment via cash, check or charge. 
I can not emphasize enough what a wonderful experience it was working with this family owned company.  They have a great product for a good price and their customer service was exceptional!

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Placida, FL

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.
