"Needed some gravel laid down on my 160 ft long driveway. Received a very reasonable estimate within a matter of days. Didn't even shop around I was so satisfied with the quote. Work was performed quickly within a week or so...about a 3 hour job to scrape, grade, and install fresh gravel. Brought a 4-man crew and all necessary equipment. Quick and easy invoicing with card credit card and bank transfer options. I would definitely recommend this contractor! Thank you Bear Creek!"

"We have a small gravel backyard that reduced to a gross slurry of sharp rock and mud whenever it rained and resulted in a nasty, unusable area. We decided to install pavers to turn this into a usable space. We sought multiple quotes and even accepted one who flaked on us. We are fortunate that he did flake because it was then that we found Cary. Cary took far more time than that other contractors to research our needs and sit down and explain in exacting detail everything that he proposed. His professional and friendly manner put us at ease but honestly I was worried that Cary, clearly a step up from the others we’d talked to, would be crazy expensive. In fact, his bid was the lowest we’d received. Cary and team started work on time and in a few days had a beautiful finished product. He promised us that he would always return if we were unsatisfied with anything and he came through on this too. Our idiot dogs found a way to dig under the fence and hurl mud and stones all over Cary’s beautiful work. We told him about this and he promptly came back out and did another full day’s work, at his expense, to cap the areas our mischievous mutts mutilated. He even cleaned their mess after. If we ever need more paving work done, there is no question that we’ll call Cary back. We will also recommend him without hesitation to friends and family. Also, while not part of his official repertoire, the man is also a genius at calming rambunctious puppies. We’d hire him for that too if he ever takes that on as a line of work!"

"We checked around a few granite businesses that were vague on pricing or did not respond to questions. We went into Pro Granite and immediately appreciated the customer service and well organized showroom. Anna was very helpful showing us around and upfront about pricing, she even gave us a printout of our project with the costs of different pieces of granite. Very reasonably priced! Less than the big box stores. We decided on one kind and they pulled out those slabs for us to select the exact one we wanted. Excellent communication and punctuality from the templating appointment to the installation, always arriving about 5 minutes early in fact. Vinnie and Ivan did a meticulous job, their dedication to their craft shows through in the finished project. Recommend 100%."

"HIGHLY recommend Full Throttle Landscape! Our backyard is a slope and rain forms a small lake next to the foundation of our home. We hired Mark and his crew to build a retaining wall and install drainage in our backyard. Mark came over to see the space and give us a quote maybe a month ago. We were then able to be moved up due to some cancellations due to COVID. He checked with us specifically to see if we were comfortable with workers coming over, which we were, and was respectful of everyone's health and safety, as was the crew while they were here. Mark came out again to see the yard, confirmed his original quote, and the crew started work the next day. We changed the block color on him and he was so quick to call in the new order and make it happen (FYI went with the Rainier color). The crew hand dug a TON of dirt and installed a beautiful wall with steps, top stones, and drainage that extends to the front yard and connects to two downspouts from the house. They even took initiative and offered to remove a bunch of ugly concrete blocks between the new wall and our carport which opens up the whole space. It rained for the first time this weekend, and there is no longer any standing water at our foundation, or anywhere else in the yard! Mark and his guys are professional, hard workers, and Mark is very communicative and knowledgeable. We can't thank them enough for their work - we know who to call in the future!"

"Bob was able to fit my one day job in between other jobs he had, and did what I could not have. Clean cut lines and a lot of dirt moved, in less than 8 hours. The work he did was very helpful to the end results of not only the project I am currently working on (to expand my current driveway), but also another project that I have planned for the future (to reduce the steep grade of the rest of the back yard)."

"It went ok. I'm not happy there are the turf nails showing all over the place. I think it needed more infill sand spread out. They had extra bags of the sand after the project but took them all."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Tacoma, WA

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.
