"Needed my property graded after all the rain was making ponds and they graded my place with water draining away from my house and driveway. I will definitely call them back for asphalt paving on my driveway."

"Miguel's crew includes two of his brothers, Antonio and Juan. They did an outstanding job removing and installing new tile to the master bathroom shower, removing a free standing wall for larger entrance to the shower and removing and replacing all flooring tile in all three bathrooms and laundry room in the house. They were always punctual in arriving early in the morning, working diligently and professionally and completed the job in the span of only two weeks. We are thrilled with the results and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone considering tilework in their home!"

"DMA did a fantastic job and, years later (the true test of a paver job), it has held up beautifully. DMA's bid was also significantly lower than the other two bids we got on the job. They did everything as we originally planned, were always on time, and even persevered through bad weather. Owner Dave was very easy to work with. We plan on hiring them again in 2014 to redo an existing concrete patio. <br />"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in San Luis Obispo, CA

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.
