"I have been using Wadkins for about 7 years. They do my weekly lawn service as well as landscaping work. I have great confidence in these guys. When I first started with them, I looked out one day and saw Chandler on the mower. He was double cutting the yard to give the diamond criss cross look. I told him he didn’t need to do that because it was a lot of extra work. He said, “but it looks so good on your yard!” They still do it that way. I knew I had found the right guys when someone cared that much about their work. Will and Chandler are rock stars."

"We are very pleased with the service provided by Swan Floor Care.  They forewarned us of some areas of carpet that would probably not come completely clean, and they were right.  But I am not complaining.  They provided excellent cleaning over the rest of the areas and they were quick and thorough.  They were also punctual and professional.  I will definitely use them again. <br />"

"I had lightning installed around my swimming pool, in the pergola and back patio as well as lighting to accent the front of the house. I am very pleased with the results and have had many compliments. The process was very easy and the guys who did the installation were really great they answered all my questions and explained everything to me. I would not hesitate to use Land Light Pros again."

"Same as above- <br /> We really liked the people there, and enjoyed going through the slabs. The company was very patient with us as we took up a lot of their time. We only chose another company to do our work because I didn't like having the countertop's seam located at the middle of the sink, which, from our conversations with them, was the only option. If that's not an issue for you, I would recommend them just for their helpful nature and willingness to spend time with someone who they don't know will hire them. (I can't speak for their actual installation work.)"

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

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.
