"I created a problem with my sprinkler system. I'd put it off long enough. Saw Rainbow's ratings on yelp and Angi and reached out to them. Fernando was quick to answer the call and most importantly was available the same day. He estimated his arrival time and was early in a good way. He was friendly and assessed the situation by asking good questions and it didn't take long for him to figure out what was going on. He estimated the project and we felt it was a fair price. Everything is working and we're happy. We hired him again to inspect our other sprinklers and he addressed the faulty ones and installed updated digital WiFi timers. He’s thorough, efficient and patient. I highly recommend Rainbow Landscaping."

"We needed asphalt repair and resurfacing on our 50+ year old driveway. Not exactly an attractive project for concrete / asphalt companies that typically prefer large projects. But CSI responded right away and scheduled an appointment for the following day to inspect the driveway. They came back to me within hours with a reasonable written estimate. The work was completed in two visits over the next two weeks, as the asphalt repair needed time to cure before applying a new topcoat. Thorough clean up and removal of old asphalt and debris was provided. Outstanding quality work performed by friendly and honest people. Would not hesitate to use them again. Thank you, David, Kyle and crew for a job well done!"

"**Wow! Jacob Hauling is an absolute gem among local landscapers!** After struggling with a DIY backyard for years, we finally decided to seek the expertise of a professional landscaper to transform our challenging sloped backyard. Our main goals were to level the last tier, install new fences and retaining walls. Among the two quotes we received, Jacob's pricing stood out as significantly more reasonable than the competitor's. Impressed with their offer, we promptly scheduled the project for the following week. From day one, Jacob and his team arrived with a fleet of impressive large trucks for debris and materials, accompanied by skilled workers who efficiently cleared away the 20-plus-year-old fences, logs, and other structures within the first 30 or 40 minutes. As the project unfolded, we were continually impressed by their craftsmanship, leading us to expand the scope of their work. Not only did the crew level and improve our entire backyard, but they also went above and beyond by building a stunning concrete planter box in the front of the house and a beautiful hardwood planter box on the sidewalk. Additionally, they took care of a small open plot, filling it with concrete to prevent future weed growth. Beyond their exceptional workmanship, Jacob and his team demonstrated remarkable customer service. They skillfully mediated with our neighbors to find a mutually satisfying fencing solution, and to our surprise, they generously hauled away log slabs from the neighbors' yard at no additional cost – a gesture of kindness that we deeply appreciated. Throughout the three-day project, the crew worked tirelessly from 7:30 am to 7 pm, displaying unwavering dedication and attention to detail. Their efficiency and quick turnaround were truly commendable. They flawlessly executed every aspect of the job, going the extra mile to rehang our string lights, which had been damaged by the neighbors' arbor crew the previous year. Words cannot adequately express our gratitude to Jacob and his entire crew for transforming our backyard into the oasis of our dreams. Without hesitation, I **highly recommend** this incredible team to anyone in need of landscaping services. Their professionalism, skill, and thoughtfulness are unparalleled, making Jacob Hauling an exceptional choice for any landscaping project."

"We contacted California Custom Landscape to give us a quote on redoing our backyard. We needed to replace our old, cracked patio, redo our sprinkler system, and replace old, overgrown landscaping. Henry listened to our plans and added ideas to improve them. We are so happy we went with CA Custom Landscape! Henry and his crew did an excellent job on all aspects of our project. Henry was here everyday and kept us updated. He and his crew were professional and conscientious, and quickly addressed any questions or concerns we had as the project progressed. When the project was complete, he took the time to explain all about the care and upkeep of our new backyard. We were very happy with the results. Great job, Henry!"

"I usually don't use the cliche "we couldn't be happier," but we really couldn't be happier with our new paver driveway installed by Falkon. We solicited three bids from companies found on Angie's list. One estimate was really high. A second estimate seemed too good (low) to be true. Based on the Angie's List ratings, I expected Falkon to be about halfway between the two, but the Falkon was almost the same as the "too good to be true" estimate. After researching more and viewing the Falkon website which included past project photos, we selected Falkon for the project. Honestly, at first, I thought Val kind of rushed through the estimate/walkthrough, especially when compared to the experience I had with the other two contractors we spoke with. I'm not saying this to complain. I'm bringing this up to suggest that if you have a similar experience/feeling, don't let that scare you away. Val was always responsive to our needs throughout the decision-making process and the actual project. He never blew us off or made us feel like we were bothering him. Besides, what really counted was the execution of the project and the results. Both were outstanding. Val's crew appeared very experienced. They were punctual and professional. The progress they made each day was phenomenal. We have a pretty large driveway - approximately 1200 square feet with some curving on the borders. Day 1 - Demolished and removed/hauled away old asphalt driveway. Graded soil. Day 2 - Placed underlayments and compacted/graded again Day 3 - Placed all pavers - except for border. Day 4 - Placed bordering pavers and cut inner pavers meeting the border. We requested angled pattern requiring more (and angled) cuts. (By the way, we love the angled paver pattern. Worth the extra effort and cost.) Day. 5 - Filled in gaps between pavers. (about half day). Day 6 - Originally planned, but not needed because everything was completed on Day 5. We highly recommend Falkon Construction for any paver project you are considering."

"This company is run the way a company should be ran. The workers were here on time, they did exactly what they were suppose to do. Seth said it could take 3 days to get the work done, they got it done in 2 days. We are very happy with their work, I would highly recommend Seth Pompey Landscaping. This will be our go to landscaping company. We found it very hard to find someone who would fix the pools tiles, everyone we called said the job was too small or we only redo pools, we couldn't even get a handyman out. Thank You Seth! <br />"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Santa Ana, 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.
