"Hired them to create a pad and retaining wall for my inground pool mechanicals. The old retaining wall had fallen over and the pad had become unlevel because of tree roots. They did a great job! I mentioned offhand that now I needed to find someone to fix the pool heater and a pump. I had been unable to find any pool service company that would work on the heater, and everyone just wanted to sell me a new motor and pump. SPM "had a guy" that could do all of that. SPM's crew did way more than I expected, were very pleasant, and even fun to work with."

"Very Professional - This was a time critical job since I desired to put house on market in immediate future. Mr. Jefferys was professional during & timely in providing job inspection and quote. Demolition of existing concrete driveway & sidewalk was efficiently & effectively executed as agreed on the morning of day one and base installed and compacted in the afternoon. The following morning asphault was placed and compacted to specifications. In addition he dressed the edges of both the drive & sidewalk with fresh topsoil. Mr. Jefferys and his employees had all heavy equipment necessary of the complete project efficiently & professionally. He maintained a clean workplace throughout the project and provided a one year warranty on materials & workmanship. I would not hesitate to hire him again & heartily recommend both the quality of his work and egarness to insure a truly exceptional conclusion to the project."

"The representative was early for the estimate appointment (a plus in my book since my schedule is hectic) and took the time to explain the work in detail. He gave us a very good price and a great warranty. The crew was on time. (again another plus)and did a professional job. All the work area was cleaned up. I would definitely recommend to a friend. Will use them again for other work too. <br />"

"That particular company had been getting a bad rep before we used them. We went ahead and used them and it was not an insurance claim and they did an excellent job. They're competitive and very comparable to everybody else in our area. They're not any more expensive, they're not any less. They do a really good job, what they promise to do, they do."

"<p>We are really happy with the result. Lee sketched out his suggestions after we told him what we wanted and gave us ideas that would not only make more sense in terms of the layout, but that would save us money. Mark and his helper worked for several weeks on this project, and as this is a vacation home, we weren't always around, but they responded to our calls almost immediately. This was a very labor-intensive job, as dirt had to be brought in in wheelbarrow loads, as there was no access to the rear and side yards that was large enough for a Bobcat or larger machinery. They were always asking, as the job progressed, whether what they were doing fit in with what we had envisioned, and were happy to adapt to our wishes. A great job!</p> <br />"

"I had my laminate countertop replaced with granite. It looks great! The install date was postponed once due to an equipment breakdown but they bent over backwards to accommodate my schedule. The workers were nice and efficient. I would definitely use them again. I have actually recommended them to my brother. If he replaces his countertops he will check them out. They did not replace my sink. I like my sink so I kept it."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Saint Simons Island, GA

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.
