"Great work and pricing! The crew came out on time and finished job same day. Very professional and sensible with recommendations. They removed old broken concrete driveway, filled with gravel and poured asphalt over everything. Great edges, smooth surfaces, and all around solid work. Iâ d recommend this company to anyone."

"We contracted with ALL ABOUT PAVERS to remove our old concrete driveway and replace it with cobble pavers. Claudio arrived at the appointed time, measured for the job and gave us an estimate. He suggested we do our walks at the same time. We agreed and signed the contract because the price was reasonable. (We’d already researched costs, materials, work quality, etc) Claudio did everything he said he would do including finishing this beautiful job 1 1/2 weeks early to our complete satisfaction. He is very easy to reach, and takes or returns calls immediately. Claudio is a pleasure to work with and we’ll be hiring him again in the future."

"Absolutely fantastic!  Years ago I had granite countertops installed.  The installer is now out of business and the sink that was installed eventually separated from the countertops and managed to take all the piping out with it when it fell.  Even though these guys had nothing to do with the installation, Hard Rocks Stone and Tile really helped me out within hours of calling (and two days before Christmas)!  My sink is reattached and I am thrilled they were able to do this for me.  Will definitely call them for new bathroom vanity in the new year!  Thank you very much! <br />"

"Mr. Chapman was outstanding. Over the last six months I've had lots of work done on my house by many different kinds of service providers (painters, electricians, plumbers, flooring installers, etc.). He is tops among all these people not only for the quality of his work and his responsiveness, but also for his very reasonable price. He was very impressive beyond merely doing what he promised; without any prompting from me he went the extra mile to make sure the work looked as good as possible, even if it meant more time on the job for him than he had originally thought. I will use him again for any masonry needs. I recommend him very highly to you. <br />"

"The sidewalk is beautiful, the catch drain basin installed perfectly and the electrical line ditch was spot on.  We initially wanted to put in a walkway with aggregate, but Mike Thompson, the owner, recommended that we not go that route because of the intense slope of our yard. The aggregate has less grip than a traditional broom finish.  We opted instead for a dark brown concrete stain that matched our existing brick walkway.  The guys were very professional, showed up exactly when they said they would, cleaned after the end of the project, spread the excess dirt in an area designated by us:  I thought they would just pile it up, but they spread it out evenly - looks great!  The project had nothing unexpected - started and ended when they said it would and no cost changes. <br />"

"Did a great job, but once they were paid would not call me back with the other questions I had, so make sure you don't need them for anything else. Once they are paid they seem to not respond to emails, texts or phone calls. What a shame!"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Theodore, AL

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.
