"I'll start by saying that Jofmar (Jose and team) delivered well beyond my expectations. I reached out to Jofmar with a few large hardscape projects after long effort to try and find someone that was professional, on time and and cared to do the work. Overall my experience was very pleasant. Victoria graciously helped me with estimates, explained the process well to understand what is involved for each project and then Jose and his team delivered on the product. The first of two projects just finished up -I had stacked stone garden walls built around all my mulched beds. The attention to detail was a delight to see and I can't wait to finally refresh my garden beds. I want to call out that Jose and team really love the work that they do and it shows. They work hard and are easy to talk to throughout projects. They are agile and will work with you if there is a change in scope. I still have a second project waiting on materials and can't wait to see how well they do there as well. I'll be using Jofmar for any work I need in the future and if I could put them on retainer, I would. Attached are some shots of the work they did for my garden walls."

"Our yard improvement was a total disappointment. The VP of the company came out to review the job in person. We were looking to add sprinklers to our backyard and aerate and seed our lawn. The review of the job was well presented with a good plan. The job was scheduled to be complete in 1 1/2 days. All seemed good. When the installation crew arrived, they had a completely different plan. They pretty much did whatever was easiest for them. In doing so, they damaged so many areas of the existing system that it was no longer operational. They damaged our septic system and tried to cover it up. The septic area was not marked but the original plan stayed away from that system. All work was done in sloppy manner. Clean up almost non-existent. The seeding was terrible. I have great big bare spots. When they completed the job 30 days later. I asked them to test the system and of course it didn’t even work. They had to rerun wire they had cut. This job was a disaster. Management didn’t care."

"We had used Panoramic Landscapes to do some major landscaping and they did a fantastic job. It was a no-brainer to contact Blake to have a stone wall built around a bed in front of my house. Blake's stone mason did a great job and the wall exceeds our expectations. The mason was very meticulous in his work and did a great job of cleaning up afterwards. If you need quality work done, call Blake. I would also like to mention that we just recently had Blake's crew re-mulch the landscaping they did a couple of years ago. While this might seem like a pretty straightforward job, they really did an excellent job and the whole bed looks brand new. I was very impressed and they did such a good cleanup job you couldn't even tell they had been there. Panoramic is my go-to landscaping company!"

"We hired this firm to install an extensive landscape plan for our home. The owner met with us, seemed very knowledgeable and highlighted her extensive professional credentials. Her pricing was high relative to others we considered but we liked what she described as her approach (no subcontracting, her extensive knowledge and relationship with nurseries, her knowledge of native NC plants, that she was on-site at all times, etc). She walked through details of our plan and provided a comprehensive proposal (>$50,000). We determined to hire this firm and take the project in phases. What the owner portrays she will do and what she actually does are quite different. After we committed and provided an initial deposit it was weeks longer than she indicated before her crew started work. We were over billed for labor and materials on each invoice received during the project. When we pointed these out to the owner she apologized for her error(s) ("I was exhausted and wasn't paying attention."). Despite her guarantees on her work, within weeks of the initial project being completed we pointed out a small number of plants that were not as healthy-looking as the dozens of others she installed and we were repeatedly assured over the next several months that they would be fine despite my providing pictures that showed they were getting progressively worse. She indicated in numerous email communications that the plants would be replaced if they did not "make it". This fall it was clear they had not survived and when pressed on replacement she declined. We will not be continuing with this firm for the additional phases of our project and we would not recommend this company to others."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Raleigh, NC

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.
