"We have a septic system in the lawn so the Agape team had to work with county office for approval. Agape handled the communications and paperwork and finally was able to secure permission to install the system. I appreciate Agape working through the review and approval process which took longer and required more interaction than was anticipated"

"John was great!  He responded promptly to my inquiry.  He met with me and understood my concerns about our front steps.  John provided many great suggestions and his price was very competitive.  He seemed to really know his stuff, so we chose to use him for the service. <br /> He let me know exactly when he would start the project and how long it would take him.  We met (in the rain!) at the rock yard so that he could show me multiple choices of stone for our project. He offered his suggestions and we picked a stone. <br /> The job started about a week later than he anticipated, due to a lot of rain, but he stayed in constant contact with me so that I understood the situation. <br /> His workers were professional as well.  Demolition and construction stayed on track, and the work site was cleaned up perfectly each evening. <br /> A few months later, and after the cold icy winter we had, there was a manufacturing issue with the sealant I had chosen for the stone steps.  John responded promptly and worked consistently to fix the situation (part of the problem was the "look" I wanted from the stone; it had nothing to do with John's abilities).  He was obviously very willing to provide excellent customer service and would not deliver the final job until I was 100% satisfied. <br /> John is a professional, hands down. I would (and will!) use him again for future projects, knowing how he makes the process easy and pleasurable. <br />"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Smithfield, NC

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.
