"It was okay. I asked him to do one little thing and he had a little bobcat and he kind of made a few lapse in the yard but there was no big deal, he did a good job."

"They did all of that work in three days. There were three guys. They knocked it out in three days and it was beautiful. We purchased plants at Good Earth before, so we knew of them. Then Chad Oppenheimer, I think his name was, is the landscape architect and he was really good to work with."

"Orangberg pipe finaly caved in. They replaced it with cast iron from the house all the way to the city sewer hook up. Dug up my yard with their track hoe and filled it back in when through. Put a double clean out by the city sewer. Gave me a price of $ 1500.00 and that is what I paid when the job was done. I wish it had been less money but it turned in to quite a job. Roto Rooter wanted 1500.00 just to repair 15 feet of the crappy orangeberg pipe. When you have something like this done you are at the mercy of the repairmen. I am glad I chose these guys and highly recomend them for sewer line replacement. PS: They were also recommended by the City employee I talked to, along with two other plumbers."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Searcy, AR

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.
