"Diego and his crew did a great job! This was a large 1,200 square foot patio area renovation that included a paver patio, pea gravel patio, grass (sod), cobblestones and a new privacy fence. I then hired him to mulch the property (20 yards). He came when he said he would, cleaned up and got the whole project done in a little over a week. Highly recommend!!"

"Jose came to give us an estimate the same day we called. He and his crew came the next day to do the timber and clean-out work, which took around 8 hours. They came back the following day with the gravel and sand, The work was quick and excellent, and they cleaned up the site thoroughly after they were done,"

"We contacted several asphalt companies for estimates, and when Richard arrived for the estimate to remove our existing driveway and install a new one; We were confident that A Plus Paving was the right Company to hire. Richard and His Crew accomplished every task stated in the estimate in a Timely and Professional manner. The cost was very reasonable. We will hire A Plus back next year to install a Seal Coating on our new driveway. We Highly Recommend A Plus Paving for Your Residential or Commercial needs. Sincerely, Mark R., Haverhill, MA"

"Andre and his team were terrific to work with. Very knowledgeable and experienced, extremely responsive, and they did a fantastic job on the installation of our walkway. It included demolition of an old asphalt walk and then prepping and installing a designed thermal bluestone walkway that looks beautiful, and just how we had hoped for. Their pricing was also very competitive, great value for high-quality work, and a high quality experience!"

"Joe Deprimeo, the owner, worked side by side with his crew from excavating the old driveway to raking the hot fresh asphalt. Everyone, especially Joe, was enthusiastic and professional. Throughout the job, which was inherently messy, the team managed to keep the surrounding area clean and safe. Joe voluntarily had his crew replace nearly 20 feet of the adjacent crumbling asphalt sidewalk at no charge, taking pains not to harm the large tree roots that passed underneath. I daresay a low-slung race car can now use the driveway without bottoming out. No one could have done a better job."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Somerville, MA

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.
