"NO STRESS!! Tom and his crew could not be nicer or more considerate. What a professional job. I was amazed how with the right equipment my old driveway was broken up, hauled away, and not like many other new driveway installations that I have observed in my neighborhood where the dirt base of the new driveway had to sit and settle for at least a week, the new driveway was tamped down with a special machine and the new asphalt put down all within 2 days and was finished already at 9AM on the 2nd day. Not only was the time element very impressive, but the workmanship was A+. All this with NO STRESS! Tom also helped me out with some "extras" that were not at all expected and was such a pleasant surprise. He did not expect payment until the job was completed and I was fully satisfied. He also was here all the time and worked in the install along with his wonderful crew. Efficient and meticulous. Could you ask for anything more? Could not be more highly recommended, that is for sure! Thank you so much Tom and his excellent crew!!"

"Roca and his team were very professional and did a thorough job on repaving my driveway and repairing our front sidewalk. The team delivered as promised and on schedule. In addition they worked quite fast although it was clear they paid attention to the important details. I would surely hire them again and am quite satisfied with the work they did ."

"It took several tries to get in touch with the company and arrange to have the work done. I'd actually given up at one point, but after seeing some of the work he'd done on the other houses in the neighborhood (2 places nearby were changed for the better by them) I thought I'd try again.
I have a very small yard, but they treated me like a big client.
Very helpful, fast and professional job. The place looks a million times better and even gets compliments from our neighbors!
Highly recommended.  Hopefully they get back to you right away. If not, it's worth trying again.

"Mike and his crew did a very nice job with our condo renovation. He was always easy to work with and accommodated our design requests as well as scheduling. He uses quality sub-contractors, particularly his tile installers and hardwood floor refinishers, both of whom did superior work. We were pleased with the final product and the pricing was reasonable compared to other contractors for the work we needed."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Queens, NY

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.
