"Professional, efficient, and timely quality work. Well worth the money. My job was was a 28' X 21' parking pad in a sloped and difficult to reach location in front of my house. They removed the greens, installed and compacted gravel fill to level the area with a 2% slope, then installed asphalt by skip loader using hand and power tools to smooth, finishing with a vibrating roller. I got to see their skillset in it's entirety. I am pleased with the results and would recommend them for your job."

"Working with BIG SKY GRAVEL AND DIRTWORKS L.L.C was a delight and a very pleasant change, compared to previous work I have had done in the past, with other contractors. BIG SKY GRAVEL AND DIRTWORKS L.L.C was very professional and made sure to discuss the job with me, including specific areas and specific concerns, until the details were thoroughly understood. The quality of the work was superb, leaving me with a great driveway and pad area for a garage. With the portable garage up, the area exactly matches the intended plan for the area. I highly recommend BIG SKY GRAVEL AND DIRTWORKS L.L.C and wouldn't hesitate whatsoever at rehiring them."

"Thanks to Alex and his crew of meticulous, hardworking, artistic tradesmen of Soil and Stone Landscape my wife and I how have a beautiful, spacious, and usable yard. The front porch, back stairs, back and side yards of our house are now covered with newly installed colorful pavers and drain rock which replaced the unsightly grass areas filled with weeds and brown dirt. The old and deteriorating wood fence on the back, side and front of the property was replaced with a strong, sturdy and wind resistant wood fence. All this work was performed expeditiously and with good judgement by Alex and his workers while we were away from our home. When we returned home, we were amazed with what we saw when we walked around our house and through the yard. It was a beautiful sight to behold! Thank you, Alex, you did an outstanding job!"

"I have worked with John and Fernando on 2 separate projects and have been pleased with the results. John is very responsive and did a great job helping me with the design. He did not try to oversell me on things I did not need. The crew did a good job on the install and got both projects done quickly."

"Noa and his crew were on schedule, as they predicted. All were polite, respectful and well qualified in their work. The finished driveway and sidewalk look good, though there is already a hairline crack in one area after a week, hopefully it won't get larger. There was one issue with some damage done to the edge of my garage floor by the demolition process. I sent Noa pictures and asked for his recommendation as to how to best repair the damage. Though he did respond to my emails, he never did make it out to look at the damge or give me any advice. I contacted the original contractor who had installed my expensive floor covering and he came out and fixed the damage. I would use Noa and his crew again but I would spend more time going over the job site and discussing possible problem areas closer."

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.
