"I have had KPM at my house several times and would recommend them to anyone needing outdoor work done. Casden dug a 200ft trench to bury my sump pump line and after his excellent grading and hydroseeding it's impossible to tell where in my yard he dug. He was professional, on time, and went above and beyond, offering to use his equipment to help me move some storm damaged trees out of my yard before he left for the day. KPM is and will continue to be the first company I'll call when I have outdoor needs. Thanks KPM for multiple great experiences!"

"<p>I do my own gardening and such but I can tell you they are very helpful. If you bring in measurements for your house, pictures, they will send somebody out but it costs like $200/$250. Their products are wonderful and if you have any problems, in the past couple of months here in the state of Missouri it's been kind of tough with landscaping. And they will keep up and replace anything that doesn't not make it. And there is a company locally that doesn't do that. For the quality you get the price is reasonable. Their staff is so helpful. They are always very helpful. Any questions you have. Anything. The selection, the quality, the staff, are top notch. </p>"

"Chris was great!!! <br /> We went out of town and left him to come and go as he needed.  We came home to a beautiful staircase.  I am so happy with his work that we are having him replace our entryway door. <br /> <br /> I also want to comment on Chris's pricing.  His price was VERY fare.  He even gave us model numbers on items so that we could see what the manufacturers charged.  I cant wait to have more projects for Chris to do."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Union, MO

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.
