"10-06-2023 We cannot speak highly enough about Beausoleil and sons. From Kathy in the office, to Eric whom we dealt with and answered all our questions and all our calls. And the crew that did the driveway were all wonderful. We have a two car wide driveway and it looks beautiful. We have received several compliments. Many thanks to all of you."

"I had contacted Modern Paving to get an estimate on an asphalt driveway to replace my gravel driveway. Sam answered and made arrangements to come and give me the estimate. He was punctual when arrived on the agreed day. He measured the driveway and we discussed the job and agreed on the price. He indicated that if the weather held the job would be completed within the next two weeks. There was an unexpected cancellation and to my surprise I was able to fit into that empty slot. Sam abs his crew showed up and began working immediately. Measurements were taken, the area was marked off and Sam involved me in that process to make sure it was where I wanted. The driveway was graded and raked. When the asphalt arrived the crew worked quickly to spread and compact it. The crew graded a difficult area to help prevent water collecting. The job was completed by mid afternoon and looks absolutely amazing! So happy with the results. Highly recommended"

"Had a great experience with John Cooper Asphalt Paving. John gave the estimate personally, and it was immediately clear that he was knowledgeable and experienced, and he knew exactly what needed to be done. Pricing was very competitive for the job to be done. For the estimate, demo day, and paving day, John and the team were very punctual, exactly when promised or 15 minutes early every time. Job was done in an orderly fashion, job site was left perfectly clean, and very happy with the end result. Would highly recommend giving John a call if you need paving work done."

"The second time I have used Pacific Stone and Tile in lass than a year and my experience this time was just as fantastic as the first time. very reasonable price and the final product looks better than we had visioned. Sal came out and explained all issues and keep me in the loop with updates as our quartz was backordered. The crew was meticulous with their measurements, making sure no gaps were showing due to sloping floors or crooked walls. They were very thorough with the install. You can tell immediately the pride Sal and his crew take in their work. The installers were as friendly as the owner, they kept the area clean and and were very considerate of me and my family. I plan on using Pacific Stone and Tile every time I need countertops."

"From the first phone call with Adelino, I knew I was dealing with a professional. Adelino evaluated the project and gave a reasonable estimate. He wasn't the cheapest, but the extra money was worth it for the great job he and his crew did. Adelino finished the job in one day, dismantling the old deck while replacing other railings. Adelino and his crew loaded the debris into his dump truck before landscaping and planting grass seed on the ground beneath the old deck. Adelino came with tools and equipment to finish the job the right way. Adelino was supervising the entire time and his crew left the jobsite tidy. I would recommend Adelino Soares Construction to anyone. I plan to hire Adelino again for masonry work."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Portsmouth, RI

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.
