"Our home is now like a resort thanks to Bill and his crew. They installed the pool in the spring of 2018. We loved the company so much we signed up for the yearly plant and turf maintenance plan. They pay attention to detail and the keep up with the latest technology. I highly recommend this company."

"The company sent a person to review the work.  He promptly provided an estimate by email.  The company proposed to replace one broken flagstone and reset a few additional loose pieces.  In addition, they would repair some seams of mortar that had eroded.  Due to a variety of reasons, it turned out that I could not have the work done right away.  When I was ready a few months later, they scheduled the job within two days with no adjustment in price due to the delay on my part.  As it turned out, they had to replace and reset more flagstones than originally expected.  They did what was required at no increase in price in order to do a complete and quality job.  They cleaned the flagstonnes of residual mortar and cleaned up completely after the work was done.  The walkk and steps are fixed and look great.  I am very pleased by the work this company performed. <br />"

"<p>While Hughes may not be the cheapest (they are also not the most expensive), they have consistently done quality work for us. We have worked with Joe Schaeffer as the lead on our projects and he is always professional, punctual and makes sure all work is done correctly per the estimate. Joe has also been very helpful to us when we have been selecting plants for our yard as we have a significant deer problem. He has taken the extra time to determine which plants will do well in specific areas of our yard based upon light and aesthetics while keeping in mind what the deer are less likely to eat. </p> <p>We would highly recommend Hughes based upon our experience with Joe. </p> <br />"

"I could not have been happier with the service provided and the success of the insulation.  The workmen were professional and conscientious of being in our home.  They cleaned up behind themselves and I did not know they had ever been in my home when they were finished.  The owner, Rick, was in constant contact to answer any questions or concerns.  His staff pointed out a leaking pipe underneath the house that we were not aware of, so this was a great help to us!  I highly recommend this company.  You will not be disappointed.  The insulation has made a significant decrease in our oil usage during the cold winter months.  The insulation has also made a positive impact on the A/C."

"Martin Allen did a great job. He replaced about 25 cracked or broken bricks on our front stoop and our patio behind the house. The bricks he installed match the older bricks very well and his masonry work was quite professional."

"Their work is top notch. It's a great value for the money you pay. I plan on using him again. The only downside is that because he has so much business if you want him for a small amount of time it's hard to schedule it in. They do quick work as well. The landscape work that he does is unbelievable. If you need patios, decks, retaining walls, or anything containing stone, he is great."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Prince Frederick, MD

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.
