"I do appreciate how quickly and politely they responded to my inquiry, but was informed that they stopped offering this service a year ago. They have not updated Angie's List or their website, wasting the time of homeowners like me looking for this type of work. I can only assume they leave it up to garner landscaping leads. Was especially disappointed that they could not offer the name of an alternative service provider."

"They came up with the whole plan for us. I liked working with them. Whenever you had a question, they always came out, looked at things, talk to you, and explain things to you first. The workers are really good. They clean up after themselves. They know what they are doing. They weren't the cheapest, but they did a really good job, so it was worth it."

"<p>I have exclusively shopped for home furnishings at Benson Stone Company for approximately 10 years. It all started when I was shopping for a grandfather clock. A pleasant, energetic and knowledgeable furniture salesperson/designer (Donna) approached me. She helped me pick the most grand and beautiful clock. I have not seen another one that I like better! Then, she helped me furnish my entire condominium. Since I have sold the condominium and I am furnishing a home twice the size of my condominium. The furniture that Donna has chosen for both homes is unique (often 1 of a kind) and impressive.<br /> <br /></p> <p>Being a decorator, Donna, has a gift for making every room beautiful and flow with the remainder of the house. People enter my home, their lower jaw drops and they become silent (speech-less) and gaze. I have been told by several people, that I have one of the most unique and impressive homes in Rockford.. All of the complements should go to Donna!</p> <p>Donna is extremely creative. I refer to her as my exterior decorator also. She is the mastermind behind my deck and landscaping ideas. Donna is only a phone call away and makes house calls. After 10 years, I consider Donna as one of my friends.</p> <p>Though Donna, I have met several other knowledgeable personnel at Benson Stone. One of the most noteworthy is Jeannie (granite and window furnishing salesperson and designer). Jeannie is very talented and fabulous to work with. She has made many of my unique granite and window furnishing dreams possible.</p> <p>Other helpful Benson Stone personnel include: Bill (flooring expert), Larry (furniture sales manager), Colleen (furniture salesperson/designer), Chris (granite fabricator), Eric (granite installer), Tyler (billing) and many others. Because of my multiple purchases, the owner Andy Benson, knows me by name.</p> <p>I will not shop at any other furniture stone in Rockford, IL. Thank you, Donna and Benson Stone for making my previously owned condominium and my current home beautiful!</p> 238 <br />"

"We couldn't be more pleased with the work that Tom and his crew provided for our home.  Tom had a very competitive bid to provide sump drainage from our house to an existing drain in our subdivision.  This work required trenching and burying a 4" line across approximately 90' of lawn.  Tom also buried 3 downspouts and added yard drains for them. <br /> Tom found a beautiful, mature red maple to place in our backyard and edged existing beds and added mulch.  The yard looks fabulous. <br /> Tom provided a very competitive quote to install hardscaping to the front of the house (pavers and stone).  At this point we have not pulled the trigger but his ideas, quality and price make it very tempting. <br /> Would highly recommend Tom and his team for a landscaping job. <br />"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Sycamore, IL

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.
