"They came on time, and efficiently widened our asphalt driveway so we could park another car there. After about a month, we found that the asphalt under the front wheels had formed a depression. RSA had warned us this might happen, and told me that they would return and correct the problem if it occurred. This they did, and we are very happy with their wirk."

"I have a medallion insert that had been stained by a wine vinegar that had cracked. Marblelife came out with a diamond polish that they buffed into the medallion and resealed it so it wouldn't stain again. Marblelife does excellent work, Jorge Martinez in particular does excellent work and is a very trustworthy man. Jorge stands by the work that he does for you. I would absolutely use them again and I've already recommended them to others."

"My driveway was crumbling and full of pot holes. Dave came out, measured, explained my options and provided me with two quotes based on whether or not they found clay under the old driveway. They moved a stack of pallets and stacked firewood off the driveway for me so I didn't have to worry about getting that done ahead of time. The crew was fast and efficient. The driveway is beautiful and they did a great job cleaning up. I live on the same street as an elementary school and they were careful not to block traffic and to let the school buses go by as needed. I would highly recommend this company for any paving work you might need."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Sarasota, FL

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.
