"Recently, I completed a comprehensive home and yard renovation project with Horizon Landscaping Designs, owned by Lazaro Bernal. I am highly satisfied with the exceptional quality and meticulous management of the work provided. The scope of the project encompassed retaining wall construction, lawn restoration, exterior and interior stone and stucco repairs, screen porch renovation, extensive carpentry projects, painting, and drywall repairs throughout the house. Lazaro Bernal was present on-site supervising or collaborating with his employees on a daily basis. His communication with me regarding the schedule and cost of each task was impeccable. The projects were completed on time and within the agreed-upon financial boundaries. If you require any home or yard repairs or renovations, I highly recommend Horizon Landscaping Designs and its owner, Lazaro Bernal. He demonstrates a genuine commitment to the quality of his work and exceeding the expectations of his clients."

"We had a large stamped concrete patio built and the end result is quite good for the price. They didn't take long to finish and seemed to know what they were doing from start to finish. The stamped design looks close to real. I would recommend them and use them again. We are happy with the product and quality at the price we paid."

"We were so impressed with the kitchen counters and island from ten years ago that we went out of our way to have Dominion Granite install the marble counter tops for our bathroom renovation. Christian and his team were extremely professional and informative the first time, and were just as professional and informative during the most recent installation. They have vast and amazing options on site to select your granite or marble. Meticulous installation with perfect lines and cut-outs. High quality on trend porcelain sinks are also available from Dominion Granite. Their office is urban chic and inviting showroom with amazing slabs in their adjacent warehouse and cutting area. Most highly recommended."

"We asked Jeff to re-trench and rebuild weight bearing retaining walls that were 20+ years old and had tumbled. We had other vendors that we contacted that were interested in re-landscaping our entire yard, which was not really necessary for this project. Jeff came out and evaluated the situation, making recommendations from an engineering perspective on what we needed to do to rebuild the walls with better structural integrity, which would prevent them from tumbling again. We agreed that in a mature garden with transplanting requirements, this was a great winter project. His crew arrived on time, completed the job in an efficient and expedient manner, and the quality of the work was outstanding. They were respectful of the property, and cleaned up each day. They tore down and rebuilt the walls (using the same stone which saved us on the materials) to be much sturdier. They trenched with gravel and added heavy capstone to the top of the wall, to ensure the structural integrity. They completed the job in 2.5 days. The quality of the work was excellent, as was the price. I would recommend Classic Stonescaping for any outdoor projects."

"When a leak in our upstairs bathroom threw a curveball our Memorial Day weekend, we decided to turn lemons into lemonade and remodel! We got several quotes and decided on Virginia Kitchen and Bath because they had beautiful, luxury-level results at our price point and did not sacrifice quality. It was a great choice! The design process with Burak was smooth from start to finish. He had the perfect balance of expertise and willingness to incorporate our ideas. I didn’t feel steered into a cookie cutter remodel. I felt like I had an experienced guide who knew what worked based on years of working in our community. Once we got started, Emin was professional and responsive. We always knew what was happening with our project, and when we had questions the answers were only a text away. Our day to day team, headed by Angel, were clearly the best in the business. They worked hard through the whole contract, often stopping to get our opinions to make sure everything was just right. The result speaks for itself. Our once dated bathroom with a broken toilet is now our serene oasis. The whole team at Virginia Kitchen and Bath made what could have been a tough summer easy!"

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

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.
