"We had a blank canvas with a few design details in place for a major drought-tolerant landscaping overhaul for our Mid Century Modern house that had recently been renovated. We needed someone to fit the bill who was knowledgeable about irrigation & plants, affordable, efficient and above all flexible so that we could see our vision realized. We got several quotes and chose Wesley's Sierra M**** Landscaping Co based on our above criteria. Not only that, but Wesley came up with the most cost effective way to implement a system without having to rip up our driveway. Furthermore, his quote was reasonably priced and itemized in a way that allowed us to "pick and choose. He appeared to be flexible -- and was -- in terms of potential changes. In short, Wesley and his crew did not disappoint. I should also add that weeks later when a surprise leak sprung up, we called Wesley and he promptly fixed it. The overall was stress-free, and we couldn't give a higher recommendation to Sierra M**** Landscaping!"

"Mr. Parks and his workers were thorough, polite and efficient. My gutters were full and badly clogged because of several years of neglect. They removed all debris from my roof and dug out the gutters by hand until they got water freely flowing through the downspouts. It was a positive experience from beginning to end."

"Edgar and team were honest, friendly, hard-working and offered much needed guidance and advise as this was my first experience with a construction project. They worked within my own design ideas while offering suggestions for improvements or cost and labor savings. I would not hesitate to call them again for my next re-modeling project.

"Daniel Dachot was the Field Supervisor and point of contact. He was attentive, always available, and kept us up to date on what to expect. The masons who did the work were highly skilled and careful. The result was very nice. All the work was for hardscape - no landscaping or planting was involved."

"These guys did a fantastic job with the turf they installed in my frontyard. I couldn’t have imagined my home changing so drastically and looking so amazing. The turf came out very nicely done, no folds whatsoever and it looks great. The company representatives were very accommodating and responsive with any questions I had at all times, and were very friendly as well. I’d definitely recommend this companies service to anyone I know interested in turf."

"They did a great job!  We gave them specific directions to trim the two huge trees off the roof and away from the sidewalk, and they did exactly that, and when we requested they trim a few branches a bit more because they hung over a neighbor's property, it was no problem or additional expense.  There was a very heavy windstorm within a month of the trim job, and a remaining branch snapped and was hanging down.  I called California Arborist and they came out the same day and cut it off, with no additional charge.  The trees were shaped nicely, not just lopped off.  We were very happy with the work.

"I first met Tony, owner of Nexxus Remodeling, soon after his lead hardwood flooring installer had come to check out my home so they could send me an estimate. My project was to rip out all carpet in my upstairs, and on the stairs from the 1st floor. Even before I had received all bids I’d sought from him and other contractors, Tony found out the floor I’d intended to buy was out of stock. He arranged for me to go to a showroom that has the best inventory and selection I’d seen in my search, and he met me there to personally assist me to find flooring I liked just as well as my first choice. I was soon able to determine that Tony’s bid was very comprehensive and reasonable, but his efforts to help me before even being hired had impressed me just as much. If you want to hire a contractor who will go to extreme lengths to ensure you end up a totally satisfied customer, Tony. He said from the beginning that he wouldn’t consider my flooring project completed until I felt that every detail had been attended to, and he meant it! Tony personally checks in frequently to monitor the project. His crew does it all (carpet removal and disposal; installation of hardwood flooring, moldings and risers; carpentry; removal and replacement of doors and furniture; and, clean up after each days work). Not only that but they removed a washer and dryer that had konked out, and brought them downstairs onto my patio, AND then they cleaned out a laundry area that had at least 25 years worth of lint and dust built up in it. I sincerely recommend Nexxus Remodeling for your next home renovation project - not just for hardwood installation (they do it all!)."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in South Pasadena, CA

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.
