"I hired Earthworks last summer to dig out part of my hillside and create a larger turnaround area for my driveway, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. They did excellent work from start to finish. The team was friendly, polite, and incredibly easy to work with. They took the time to explain my different options clearly and helped me choose the best approach for the space. They were also very flexible with scheduling and paid close attention to weather conditions and rain so the project could be done safely and without issues. I really appreciated how considerate they were of my neighbors as well—they made sure the heavy equipment didn’t damage the road and kept everything clean and respectful. "

"Scott and his crew have installed the most beautiful patio we could have imagined.  It is a joy to look out our windows to see how well the patio compliments the rest of our backyard.  Scott and crew started on Tuesday and wrapped the project up by Friday!  They were truly professional and have given us a beautiful outdoor space to enjoy for years to come.   <br />"

"In beginning of June, we paid our deposit and then found out that the plan was to install siding in September. We asked if there was a possibility to move that timing up and they were able to squeeze us in mid-July. Was super excited but then received an email about a week before we thought the siding project would start asking if we wanted the outer corners to match the color we had selected and if so, there was an upcharge and that "non-stock colors" were running about 45 days to order so they would need to push back the date by 45 days. This was never discussed during the sales process. I expressed my concern and Joni was able to locate the outer corners and adjust the schedule to start in end of July and agreed to cover the "upcharge" since this was something new to her as well. Then, she told us that we need to pick soffit/fascia colors, but that anything other than white would require a week or two delay. But then she called back and said she was able to pull some strings and find the color we had requested. So, lots and back and forth about dates. We also had a mason scheduled to come after the siding install so we had to communicate all these changes with him. it was a bit frustrating with all the date changes. Seems like things that CHI should already be aware of and should know to prep the customers upfront and let them know the dependencies on starting the project. When the job started, the team all showed up on time every day. They did a really nice job on the siding and soffits/fascia. That is why I gave them an “A” for quality, but was disappointed with the following: 1.) Poor communication from the start to the end of the actual work. Pat saw some rotting wood while doing the work and replaced it. He never mentioned the cost or asked about it before proceeding forward with the work. While we appreciate his proactiveness, I feel like he should have asked us (if he was going to charge us for it) before doing the work. In any event, he told us about it after the fact and I just saw a line item on our invoice for the work. He also barely communicated with us while he was here. Didn't know when the dumpster was getting removed or what to do with the material left. 2.) We have found numerous screws, nails and sharp metallic options around our house. No one even mentioned that we should be careful moving around outside. This is especially bothersome as we have little kids running around. 3.) Everything was collected on the final day, BUT the porta potty. There was no communication around when it would be picked up either. To be fair, the job was complete on Friday morning and it was picked up by Monday afternoon, but it would have been nice for someone to let us know the plan since it was sitting in our driveway. My biggest complaint with this company is their lack of communication. This is a lot of money to be spending and the project management is less than desirable."

"Very prompt and professional response, good explanations of everything. Best price of three bids. Work was completed very quickly while we were out of town, neighbor oversaw the work. Worked with Richard. <br /> Good cleanup, although we did find some nails that probably should have been picked up with a more thorough magnet sweep. <br /> Good coordination with our contractor that re-built our chimney at the same time (Mohler Chimney). <br /> Would definitely recommend Northrup to anyone. <br />"

"Chris came out initially to take a look at the back yard and to discuss the project. I had asked him to put together a design based on some initial ideas and requirements of our own. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about installing patios. We discussed some issues with needing to improve water run off from the back of the house. We were in contact numerous times before start day to refine the design and choose pavers and lighting. Chris was always very responsive to my emails and calls and always pleasant to talk with. On start day, he showed up with his crew and a slew of machinery to excavate and prepare the base for the patio. He worked with me to mark off the perimeter and shape of the patio. When the size of the patio ended up bigger than what I had initially sent as measurements (my error), he didn’t complain- he just said he would order the additional pavers and we’d adjust the final invoice. I had asked him to try and not rip up the surrounding lawn too much and so they laid plywood and made sure that the skidsteers and other trucks stayed on that one small area. This was a real sign of their professionalism to me. I was amazed how the patio took shape in just 1 week. The crew worked through blistering heat and never complained. At the end of week 1, the patio was installed minus the final 4 cap lights since we had to wait for the lights to arrive. I make a partial payment to Chris for the work completed and then 1 week later, he came out and finished the lighting and worked through the electrical hook-ups to the house with our electrician on that day. We used pavers from a vendor who Chris uses and I was pleased with the look of what we chose. The pavers were installed well and Chris used polymeric sand to hold them in place. The job site was cleaned up every night and they moved excavated soil and aggregate base and we never had a “mess” at the house. Part of the project involved them ripping out a concrete landing outside of our adjacent garage access door and I never saw the broken concrete because they just hauled it away. Overall the patio looks incredible and I wouldn’t have asked for a better experience with an installer than what we got with Chris and his crew. I felt that the pricing of the project was very fair and that Chris and his guys were dedicated to finishing the patio as quickly as possible."

"<p>We just completed our project with Pine Ridge, and could not be more pleased with the results. Jacob and his crew were incredible from start to finish.</p> <p>We had a very large project, and got numerous proposals before we started. Jacob's was by far the best in terms of his vision for our property and his willingness to accept our input. He was confident that he could do all we asked of him within the budget provided, and even broke up the project into phases so we could decide what to do now, and what to save for a later date.</p> <p>The crew was very professional from day one. They worked efficiently, were very polite, and cleaned up after themselves each day. The project took about 3 weeks from start to finish, and it was impressive to see it all come together. </p> <p>Jacob isn't just the owner either. He gets his hands dirty and was there right alongside his crew grading, planting trees, laying sod, spreading mulch, you name it. What stood out to us the most that he treated his crew incredibly well, and they clearly respect his leadership. </p> <p>Oh, the best part? We gave him a budget for the project, and he came in significantly underneath it! </p> <p>Start to finish, this was by far the best experience we have had with a contractor of any kind. We will be wholeheartedly recommending Pine Ridge to all of our friends, and will use them for all of our landscaping and tree care needs in the future!</p> <p><br /></p> <br />"

"Final Grade returned to our home to replace a few plants that had not survived the winter. <br /> They were prompt and professional and performed the work without any issues. <br /> And the honored their original pricing - no additional charge for the follow-up. <br /> At the same time, we added to our landscaping, having Final Grade install edging.  Great job! <br />"

"Shelly came out in June to provide a bid. The amount was higher than the other two bids I got, but what really impressed me was the detail that she provided about what exactly would be done and why it needed to be done just that way. The crew, headed by Jeff, did a great job on my driveway. The men were friendly and informative, as well as professional and hard-working. They did the prep work on a Thursday and by the time they finished my drive already looked so much better I was thrilled. They uncovered some "interesting" details about the old driveway and fixed everything that had been done weirdly or for reasons it was difficult to fathom. ;-) I had friends over Sunday evening and everyone was impressed with how good it looked. The edges were clean and the surface area was even increased slightly, the grading was set up better than the old driveway had, and they even hauled away a pile of yard brush that I'd stacked at the edge of the drive. Talk about "above and beyond"! They returned on Monday and, again, very focused on the job, while also friendly and informative. The work progressed quickly, but I observed their consistent attention to detail, which I appreciated. The finished job improves my driveway 150%. I know the picture I took looks photoshopped, since there's not a flaw to be seen, but there was no "trick photography" involved! (see below) Gary called the day before each job to make sure the timing worked for me, and the crew was right on time both days. I feel confident that this is a company I can trust if there are any problems, but I do not anticipate that there will be. I simply could not be more satisfied!"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Rockville, MN

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.
