"I needed someone experienced to handle a non-standard job requiring skill â both in excavating an area to a set depth and then spreading a precise layer of gravel and then sand. Justin was the right guy. He was skilled, accurate, and fast â and took the exact amount of time he had figured. Quality + speed = great value. Plus he was a good guy to work with."

"They were incredible people. They arrived on time and submitted a very fair price for their excellent work. Several neighbors have already complemented us on how beautiful our new yard looks. They were wonderful and very positive to work with and made several suggestions that greatly improved our yard. They are true artists!. They are the best of the best in the landscaping profession. Pablo is a very positive and helpful person. You will not find a better professional group to work with. I would hire them again in a second and highly recommend them for your landscaping needs."

"These guys are amazing. We had multiple baseboards that needed replacement, some patches in the walls and a few other things around the house. They were able to come in and help spruce our house back up for a great cost! Highly recommend "

"Exceptional!!! I cannot recommend them enough. Please call the owner, Rodrigo Ortiz. You will be sooooo glad you did!!! He installed new sod for me in my whole backyard, as well as soil/mulch, and it looks beautiful!! He also installed more dirt in part of the yard to even out the ground, and planted new plants, as well as trimming all plants in the front and back, and mulching the front. My yards finally look finished now!! He walked through the entire process with me, kept in constant phone contact, gave me great pricing, and had all of this work done in a matter of days. He can handle anything and everything. Please contact him about any landscape project you have, no matter how large or small, and he and hus team will do a wonderful, professional job. I highly recommend them!"

"My bushes and trees had grown completely out of shape and the yard looked more like a jungle than a yard! The worse part was that I’d had a Gardner for the past 6 years and I’d used about 4 or 5 different gardeners for the 5 years before that, 11 years total. When Tony from affordable quality landscape got here I needed $2,100.00 worth of yard work done, so much for having and paying a Gardner(s) all those years! When Tony came to work on my yard he had 2 of his employees with him and the three of them worked for about 3+1/2 to 4 hours all together so if you count the hours between the 3 of them it took 10+1/2 to 12 hours to get my yard done and all of them worked very hard non-stop the entire time they were here! When they were finished I was speechless and I was almost in tears because it looked awesome! My yard was a source of stress to me every single time I looked at it. My neighborhood is not the kind of neighborhood where you can let your yard go because if you do the neighbors will call the city and report you. I couldn’t do the yard work myself anymore due to a back injury so needless to say it was a great source of stress and it gave me a stomach ache every time I opened the blinds in the morning and saw it! Up until the time I couldn’t do the work anymore our yard always looked beautiful, we use to get comments from all the neighbors that ours was the best looking yard in the whole neighborhood and it was. When Tony and his men were finished with my yard I was thrilled because, for one thing, I remembered how my yard USE to look 11 years prior and it looked closer to the way it use to look than it has in the past 11 years! Tony and his men were awesome! They were polite, honest and very hard working, I liked that a lot. To be honest with you I thought that was a lot of money to charge because I was picturing what it would look like when it was done and I didn’t think there was really that much work to do. This was a misconception on my part and it was just that I had expected to get what I’d always gotten. I’d always paid a lot of money before and it never really looked that much different. You see I was expecting what I had always gotten from all the other gardeners which wasn’t that much, it always cost me a lot of money but it never really looked very good when it was done it was just less of a mess if you know what I mean. When these men were done I was SO pleased that each one also got a $20.00 tip, that’s how good my yard looked! Here’s that only bad part about affordable quality landscape: I need a full time regular Gardner but they don’t do regular work in my area, plus in the area they do work in they are booked to the gills! That’s how good they are! They book up quick, heck a man can only do so much work in a day and can only handle so many clients before he’s working 24/7 right? lol :-) But....I did tell him that if they expand to please put me on the top of his list for new clients! Maybe if I’m a good girl my wish will come true!? My father was an extremely hard worker his entire life and he instilled that quality in me, he taught all of his children to do an honest days work for and honest dollar and to do the job well, complete and correct the first time. To be bluntly honest Tony is the FIRST man, and actually the only man, in a LOOOOONG time I’ve hired to do work for me that gave me the "quality of work" my father had instilled in me, and I’ve hired plenty from Tim’s auto repair in Clackamas who completely destroyed my Cadillac to Daniel Barry Simpson of Abbott & Simpson roofing and sheet metal inc. in Portland & Washington to install a new roof who caused over $100,000+ in damage to my home! Each was worse that the one before them! So to receive the type of work and the exact same quality of work my father instilled in me to always provide someone that trust you to do your best, I couldn’t have chosen any better than when I hired Tony and his men from AFFORDABLE QUALITY LANDSCAPING! You don’t find that kind of man much anymore, it’s called honor and integrity where a man’s word is his bond! Tony gave me a bid and that’s what I paid, no extra bull charges at the end! He explained exactly what he was going to do and he did exactly that, and more! That’s all you can ask of a man, to do his best and he did! Thank you Tony Misley for being a man of honor and integrity & thank your men for me as well, you guys are awesome! I LOVE❤️ my yard again! Thank you"

"Jon and his staff were easy to work with.  He listened to what we wanted to have done, was flexible about changes we wanted after we signed the contract and did exactly what he said he would do, plus some.  His bid came in well below what we received from other businesses and the final product is exceptional.  I would definitely call Stone Solid Installation Company first if I wanted to have a project done that fits their business. <br />"

"Jonatan, the owner or RG pavers, and his crew were the best group of workers I have ever hired. I secured 4 bids before choosing RG pavers, basing my choice on Jonatan's excellent communication and manner. My paver patio and path are stunning. Friends and neighbors rave about the transformation of my backyard space. Jonatan's crew were always on time and if they were going to be a bit late, he would call. I loved watching the crew work cooperatively together. The result of this is a perfectly constructed patio and path. Jonatan was a great communicator and responsive to any changes or requests I had. Look no further, as this crew is the best!"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Portland, OR

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.
