"DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!! VERY UNPROFESSIONAL! They started ripping my old counter tops off my cabinets without looking to see how they were attached and broke a couple of my cabinets apart. I stopped them and asked what they were doing, as we were NOT replacing our cabinets and they had broken them apart!!! Then they had to figure out how to REPAIR THE CABINETS before they could install the granite tops. They had 2 cabinet tops cut to the wrong sizes. I told them it looked like they had just put them in the wrong place because, if they switched them around, it looked like they would fit. The contact person told me "they don't make mistakes"! and did not give the installers permission to swap them. The contact person was EXTREMELY RUDE AND NASTY!!! Though she was very pregnant, there was no reason for such POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Even though I had discussed my concern that they look at the granite carefully and cut it to look best in my kitchen, and there were spots on the granite I had indicated not to be used, they were. I was told by the owner that there were no instructions supplied to the granite cutters, the contact person didn't write anything down as she had said she would. The spots I didn't want in my counters were right smack in the middle of my counters and very noticeable! I had a very large portion of the second slab I purchased left over, and they used it to re-cut the 2 counter tops that were done wrong. They cut one with the grain of the granite going the wrong way. The contact person argued that the granite didn't have a grain to it and it was fine. Well, everyone that "saw" it, and she had not, said the grain is going in a different direction and it WAS noticeable. So, I had to insist the owner come out and see it. He did and apologized profusely for her behavior, agreed the grain was noticeable, and had to have the counter top re-cut a SECOND time. Using up more of my granite again. Later, when I contacted them to have them use some of my leftover granite for a small counter in my laundry room, the owner did not return my calls. I was given very expensive pricing by the contact person, and told that I should buy a new piece of granite from them as the piece I had was no longer large enough to make the small counter top. I told them they should give me a good price considering THEY screwed up my kitchen and used up all my granite re-cutting 3 counter tops, and now they expect me to buy more granite from them??? I again requested to have the owner call me, and 3 weeks later, have still not heard from him. I have hired another company who is installing granite for me at 1/2 the cost Direct Marble and Granite quoted me and I am sure will do a much more professional job!!! DO NOT USE this company!!!"

Beto and his crew were wonderful to work with. Their work was thoughtful, high quality, and done with attention to detail. We are so happy with the result. "

"I have been a very loyal promoter of Bluhm brothers for over 20 years. They have done a number of jobs for us and I’ve recommended them to many people. I liked that they are family owned and had a very good work ethic and reasonably priced. But, no more. They play a good cop – bad cop routine that is basically dishonest. For the second time, the evening before a scheduled work project which was on a tight timeline, I got a text from a brother I had not dealt with who told me that their minimum charge for ANY service visit was $1500. As it turned out it took them less than 45 minutes to cut the cement. I think it should’ve cost me less than $100. I had to negotiate hard to pay just $750. These guys have changed unfortunately – and not for the better. Never again."

"We hired Jake Servais and his company on 11/26/18 to do snow removal for the season for $500. The first time the weather required snow removal they never showed up, and then called to say they were having mechanical issues and would it be ok if they didn't come (only about 2" of snow so I said ok). They did come 1x and remove some snow in late December. Then, on Monday (1/28), we got significant snowfall while we were out of town. I was assured via text from Jake they would be on it, as we had grandparents watching our kids. We had NO SERVICE. And then I went searching to see if we had been victim of fraud by this company. I found Jake Servais facebook page where he lists in early January the sale of all his snow equipment. I have no idea what is going on, but have made multiple attempts by email, phone and facebook messenger to connect and have got NO RESPONSE. I am looking into calling the police and want a refund of our $500."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in South Saint Paul, MN

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.
