"Kevin couldn't keep his word on when he was coming to work on our project. HIs stories conflicted. What I was told would be done in less than a week turned into almost a month long project. I was stressed out most of the time while this went on. I had to get upset with him in order for him to finally get the job done or it probably would have taken even longer."

"Andre of T&T Earthcare provided exceptional landscape services for me. He removed dead shrubs and expertly applied fresh mulch to the flowerbeds, creating a beautiful result. Moreover, Andre also installed new sod in my front yard. He quickly assessed the situation, which was a wasteland of weeds and old sod, and presented a clear plan of action. He meticulously prepared the yard by removing old roots and debris, thoroughly raked the area, and applied topsoil to ensure the sod would thrive. The sod was then laid with care, and Andre took the time to explain the proper care and watering techniques to ensure its successful growth. Andre's passion for beauty and commitment to quality work is evident in his exceptional service. I highly recommend T&T Earthcare for any landscape needs. Mitch"

"Quick estimate and fast work. Was very professional from start to finish. High quality work at an affordable price. Highly recommend Philip. This was a mess I dealt with for years and had contacted numerous folks for help. People don't show up, get overwhelmed and don't call back with an estimate or try to rip off a single female. Philip was amazing and I'm so thankful to have found him. Update: Most of the work was done as per the contract minus a few little things that I questioned but decided to let go....such as the top of the retaining wall having a thick layer of dirt so plant things....and it was mulched instead. The mulch was thin and a few inches of digging you run into the concrete blocks and aren't able to plant much at all. I've had about half of the plants die that we tried to plant. I began having issues with the work soon thereafter it was completed. Water was still a major issue and his solutions did not work. I contacted him several times asking for repairs to be made on pipes that are coming out of the ground that were supposed to be buried. He has made two unannounced trips to my house which has a locked privacy fence so he couldn't properly evaluate or fix anything. He tried to get the Metro Parks to fix some issues he found which I had previous stated the Parks were not willing to fix and knew about. I thanked him for visiting but asked for help from HIM on his part. He stated that he was still thinking about how to fix the problem. It's been over a year and nothing has been fixed. He has never scheduled a time to come look at the yard or do work. I continue to have a messy muddy backyard. He has a two year warranty on his work but it's not being held up. He made a few emails and phone calls to apologize. I asked him to please give me some money back if he didn't know how to fix this like he thought he could and he has not replied. I think over a year is unreasonable and I have been more than patient. Some of the work is still fine, the gutters and drain spouts are good. The retaining wall itself is well made. The beginning to the end of the project was fine. It's just getting him to do the work on the 2 year warranty for things that aren't working or are coming apart. I believe he may have more than he can handle or perhaps doesn't know how to fix it but isn't willing to give any money back to find someone to fix it."

"After a very heavy storm, our gravel driveway was a washout mess!!  I contacted "Two Men and a Tractor" (Jerry and Tim), who promptly came by and assessed what was causing the damage. They also offered solutions in which to PREVENT future destruction of our yard and driveway. WOW!  They gave me a fair estimate and showed up on the time agreed upon to start the project.  Jerry ordered the materials needed and Tim the tractor operator worked tirelessly and completed the job to our satisfaction. I would hire this team again without reservations for other major projects.  These gentlemen are professional, courteous, honest and will do what they say they will do while completing your  project in a satisfactory time frame. This company also does lawn beautification, maintenance and landscape. Thanks guys for doing an excellent job!"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Smyrna, TN

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.
