"I have used Crossroads Land Service numerous times. Derek has trenched electrical lines, trenched water lines, excavated for a water hydrant, installed a culvert, graveled a driveway, removed groups of trees including the stumps and roots, and cut in a ditch. He has always been punctual, professional, and fair. The experience is always pleasant and I would recommend Crossroads Land Service to anyone!"

"I contacted Rex Starkey with Elite Lawn and Landscaping about giving me a bid and describing his plan for installing a lawn sprinkler system.  He was prompt, personable, and detailed in what he proposed.  He told me how they would put it in, how many zones and approximately how many heads would be involved, and how long it would take.  He would use a Hunter Sprinkler system and parts (which I understand is of good quality).  His bid also included the yearly maintenance required ($140) and a wireless rain sensor.  It was reasonable (from what we heard of others), so we accepted.  I dreaded having our yard torn up and looking a mess, but knew in the long run, it would be worth it.  It took them (three guys) 2 days to completely install the system!  Although they had machines for some of it, I watched them expend lots of energy in manual labor.  I was impressed and relieved that Rex was one of the three people doing the work.  I thought the control box and cords (which were NOT exposed, but covered) in the garage looked very neat and professional.  And to my surprise, when they were finished, it was hardly noticeable that we'd even had a system put in!  I also appreciated that they put down grass seed to help spur growth in any bare areas.  We had friends in the following weekend, and they were shocked that we'd had a system put in a week ago. Rex made sure I knew how to operate the controls for the system, and he preprogrammed the time for each station ( there were 6!). Now before I tell you this next part, you have to know that we have very low water pressure (always have).  About four or five days later, he told me he wasn't happy with the way the system performed with the water pressure, and that if he split up two of the stations, he felt we would have better pressure.  I did not complain nor ask for this, but I appreciate the fact that even though he was paid, he was willing to try to make a good system work better for us.  I appreciated his conscientiousness.  They came back out and added two more stations. We can tell a big difference in the water pressure, but would have never known it could improve had he not brought it to our attention.  The best part is that we did not have to pay additionally for the two extra stations.  He said he wanted to honor his quote! <br /> This is a company of integrity that I would highly recommend!  Now just waiting for those hot dry months! <br />"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Springfield, MO

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.
