"This is an excellent company and I can't say enough good things about them. In every interaction we had with them from returning our first call, to the appointment to provide an estimate, to the day they did the work, they were prompt and professional. We obtained several estimates and their price was very competitive. When they came to do the work, they called ahead and arrived early. Every member of the crew was polite, the work was done on schedule, and appears to be high quality. I unhesitatingly recommend them."

"Nothing to say but great things about this company. Dwight, the owner understood my needs and carried out exactly what was desired during a tight time frame. Gary and Mike did an exceptional job installing the plank vinyl flooring we purchased. It turned out beautiful... We also used them for some plumbing needs. We appreciate everything you did! It's nice to have a company with many services. We even referred them to our family. Will definitely use Campbell's Painting and More for future projects! Thank you!"

"Same as above- <br /> We really liked the people there, and enjoyed going through the slabs. The company was very patient with us as we took up a lot of their time. We only chose another company to do our work because I didn't like having the countertop's seam located at the middle of the sink, which, from our conversations with them, was the only option. If that's not an issue for you, I would recommend them just for their helpful nature and willingness to spend time with someone who they don't know will hire them. (I can't speak for their actual installation work.)"

"Brandon came out on time and was very professional and respectful. He answered all of our questions and concerns with confidence. We have since moved to Cordova and requested that Brandon be the one to continue our service. The office lady was super helpful and they made it happen. We are now enjoying exceptional service from Safari at our Cordova home. Great job Safari!"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Sweetwater, TN

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.
