"We had several wide and narrow cracks in a 15 year old driveway, which they filled and sealed neatly. The seal coat material was put down in a clean and professional manner. There was no splash or spill on the surrounding concrete garage aprons or stone block, or on the grass. They left no footprints in the seal coat and took away all debris. Just a really clean job. We had an issue with an unexpected storm washing away some uncured material in a small heavily shaded area a couple of days later. They came back and recoated the area. The job came out great. The company is responsive to phone and text messages, and they arrive on time. Overall a good experience."

"Excellent! I can't say enough good things about this project. We live in a 1920 Dutch Colonial, our walkway was falling apart. Miguel gave us samples to look at that would match our front Brick porch. The brickyard he sent us to allowed us to bring samples home to compare. He ordered what we wanted and within 4 days began the project. He came early in the morning and stayed well into the evening and completed the job in 2 days from demolition and removal of the old walk to the installation of the new one. He seeded the lawn that edged it. We selected him because he a patio and driveway and walkway for our nextdoor neighbors. We've lived here since 1974 and people trust the contractors we use. We highly recommend him and we always like to hire local owner operated businesses. For an additional fee he planted 2 trees in the front of the house. We are very satisfied."

"Chris was wonderful. He completed the work promptly and the quality of the work was perfect. Removed all of the dirt and regraded the ground to ready it for future seeding. This was a messy job that was a lot of hard work and his team excelled. Recommend him highly"

Dealing with Charlie was a pleasure. He came out the day after I asked for a quote, gave me a professional bound and printed quote package that detailed all the work, and provided references and photos of previous jobs. He also helped me in choosing the correct material for my situation, which is a rather sharply curved and sloped driveway. He also provided me with a one year warranty on the work.

The only strange thing about the whole job was we never really got a firm date on the install. He gave us a range of about a week, and then the guys just showed up one day, knocked on the door to let us know they were there and told us to move our cars out to the road if we were planning on leaving. While this was not an issue for us in any way, I just found it a little odd was all.

The work that they did was exactly what I expected, and was done quickly after providing the deposit. Sine installation, I had one small section, maybe a foot long and six inches wide, "sink" a little as some of the ground settled under the edge. I haven't tested them on the warranty yet, but I am waiting for winter to pass to see if there are any other similar issues or to see if the one spot gets worse once there is snow on it. All in all I am very pleased with the job and have recommended them to my neighbors when they asked who did the work.

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

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.
