"He was referred to me by a supplier of material on my job.  I left a message requesting a call back but never received a return call. <br /> I don't want to smear their reputation, but I'm surprised I didn't even receive a call back. <br />"

"Steve actually calls you back when you leave a message. He is prompt and reasonable. I don't bother getting quotes from anyone else any more. I totally trust him to do the job and do it right. I am so pleased with the results. My kitchen (new floor, window and fixtures post a downstairs bath being pulled out) looks spectacular. My new upstairs laundry and half bath is perfect. The guest bath looks wonderful. New floors, commodes, sinks, fixtures etc. were all installed and they are perfect. Al and Greg were professional, personable and trustworthy - not to mention expert craftsmen. I could not be happier with their expertise, workmanship or professionalism. I highly, highly recommend."

"I contacted Do It Right Contracting just after Thanksgiving for an estimate to remodel my kitchen.  The owner, Joseph Eible came to my home and was very professional and courteous.  He was very thorough in his explainations and even gave me some good ideas for my remodel.  I hired them a few days later.  Joe and his crew showed up every day on time and worked diligantly until my project was done.  They cleaned up after themselves daily and were polite in my home.  He even took the timet to go shopping with me to help with choosing my materials answering every question I had.  The project took about 12 days to complete and I am completely overwhelmed at the amazing job that Joe and his crew did in my kitchen.  I cannot wait to call them this spring for a new deck!!!!! <br />"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Scranton, PA

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.
