"I frequently saw the Twins Lawn vehicles in my neighborhood and began to notice the landscaping of the homes that they were servicing. The lawns were beautiful and well manicured so I gave them a call. After looking over their proposal I decided to not only hire them for my home but for my parents as well. They had the best prices around too. I have not been disappointed. The Twins crew are professional and they know how to maintain a yard. They did spring clean up at both houses and did a fantastic job. I cant wait to see how the fall clean up goes. They weeded my yard and put down mulch which was such a relief for me with my crazy schedule. It was nice to be able to not worry about weeds and enjoy sitting outdoors. I have called the office with questions on a few occasions and they have been answered with professionalism and respect. I've had to leave a message at the office and my call was returned within 24 hours - there was no calling back and chasing down someone to talk to. I fully endorse this company and tell you with honesty that if you don't have time to maintain your yard or have had enough of mowing, mulching etc....then this is the place to go without worry. Thank you Twins!"

"A well done job at a fair price! I booked an appointment with them to plow out a long gravel driveway after a midwinter storm snowed us in. I greatly appreciated the quick response time along with the dedication Richard showed. Thanks again!"

"Eddie, Simon, and one crew member completed the stonewall repair efficiently and professionally in about six hours. (A job that would have taken me more like six weeks had I tackled it myself!) I primarily dealt with Simon, who was affable and easy to work with. He showed up as scheduled, both to quote and perform the work. As other reviewers have noted, communication was primarily through text message--no written quote, no contract. Those who desire a paper trail could perhaps retain their texts, but I don't think the lack of documentation would be an issue, as Simon seems to be a stand-up guy. The stonewall had collapsed in one area and was teetering in another. Simon & team knocked it down and build it back using the existing stone--which was a significant cost savings compared to buying new materials. The wall looks better and sturdier than it has in years. The team also went above and beyond the quoted scope of work. They filled in a pothole in my driveway with leftover gravel and mortar. And they spread some extra crushed stone around the garden walkways. This was an completely unexpected and welcome bonus, and indicative of Eddie & Simon's approach to delivering value to their customers. My only concern was over the somewhat uneven quality of the work. As shown in the photos, in some areas the mortar is smooth and tidy and in others, more coarse and sloppy. (Perhaps due to different workers working on different sections?) This is not a huge issue as this is a rough-hewn wall that already had a rustic feel. I might apply a bit more mortar in certain spots, but overall, I'm highly satisfied with the outcome. The cost was $1400, exactly as quoted and less than other quotes I had received. I gave the trio a $100 tip to split (even though I have read that you generally don't tip a business owner)."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Sterling, MA

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.
