"Greg and his team were recommended by the suppliers of our porcelain tile and while they were not the lowest bid their quality and workmanship were worth every dollar we paid. With flooring installation we have found "you get what you pay for" We went on vacation and came back to beautiful flooring in our hallway and master bath. We highly recommend Tile & Stone Creations and welcome you to contact us if you would like. Jim & Mary Carr Reno NV"

"WOW! That was my reaction when I came home to see my new paver driveway. I recently did a garage addition to my home and needed to build a driveway. My original intention was to just add a paver addition to my current driveway. Fortunately(?) one of my subs cracked my original cement drive and I was going to have to pour a new section. Jose talked me out of doing that and letting him remove the entire old drive and install a completely new one. Best advice I got for the entire project. I also asked him to redo the walkway from the drive to the front door to correct a previous elevation problem. The whole job was amazing. Once Jose started removing the old driveway, the entire job took two weeks to complete (1500sf). I thought it was a very quick job. They kept a very neat work area. I have parked a 36’ diesel pusher RV (30,000lb) on the drive with no noticeable effect on the surface. I really appreciated that Jose was willing to make recommendations and not just follow my original plan. I would have regretted it to this day if I had not spent the money to do the job right. One of my neighbors said “the drive looks like it was always there and not a new addition”. Months later I still gaze at my drive with great satisfaction. We would recommend Jose to anyone and he will be coming back to do more work."

"The project went wonderfully. Kirk created an amazing design for my yard and corrected a variety of drainage issue. Ernie and the crew did an amazing installation. They stayed in contact with me and let me know if they encountered issues and options to address them. I love my new landscaping and paver patio. I can’t believe it’s my house."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Sparks, NV

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.
