"Amazing people! We just finished Two bathrooms & Full Lanscaping basically Full House remodel with Jean and very happy with the result. Already recommended Geico Builders to our neighbors. Pros: 1. Reasonable pricing. We quoted about eight reputable contractors, and Geico B. cost estimation is one the more competitive ones. 2. Great PM and communication: Our PM Carlos and Jean is such a joyful, communicative, and accommodating professional. They made the whole process much easier. 3. Great foremen and workers: they showed up daily, worked hard, and generally kept the area as tidy as possible. Our foreman Delmar is very experienced and also a great person to work with. The work quality seems great too (tile work is amazing up to a small details). 4. Our Pavers & Retaining walls and all Lanscaping looks amazing I can’t wait to start to play our favorite game which was proposed to install by Jean thank you for the best idea ever. Thanks again Geico Builders, we will keep you as our primary family builders."

"Cannot say enough good about this company’s crew from the first contact Mike Bing to our project manager Adrian O’Donoghue right down to the main installer Gilbert. Very responsive to all our needs and questions. I’m not sure you loves the turf more, our dog or us! It’s beautiful and the paver edging just completes the look tying right into our existing paver patio."

"<p>Unique Concrete is an excellent company.  We were referred to Ignacio one of the owners by our designer.  My husband pushed me to go with a cheaper contractor.  What a mess, the owner never showed up, the work was not done correctly and the footings for the travertine patio were poured with cement from a wheelbarrow. I felt like I needed to be outside overseeing the job constantly.  One evening while traveling I got a call that the contractor had by accident broken our gas line - he said he had capped it off.  But, due to my inability to trust him I called a plumber to go out immediately.  I questioned why he told me this at 7pm?</p> <p> I was not only uncomfortable with the work but not happy with the type of individuals the contractor was sending to our home.  </p> <p>I spoke with the designer and put a stop on the job, the same day - embarrassed I called Ignacio from Unique Concrete Creations - told him how unhappy I was and he came over within an hour. The job was on a hillside with lots of retaining walls. Ignacio recommended that I call calstone who was provider of the allen block wall to come out and see what they thought about the installation, this was the support for me to know it was time to remove the original contractor, the walls were being installed and had been installed incorrectly.  Calstone and Ignacio worked together to set up a plan to repair the work.  Ignacio took control and helped every step of the way, he let me know if we needed more product or if we would need to change something which would add cost each time allowing me to approve all cost increases.  In terms of setting up the travertine patio he took out the poor foundation and brought in a truck to poor foundation all around the patio with deeper footings at the hillside.  Everything was done so expert, all the individuals who work for Unique Concrete are professional, many of them family members.  </p> <p>Ignacio took care of approvals for the gas line and my meter upgrade due to and upgrade in gas lines for our outdoor BQ and ultimate fireplace.  He also measured all my spaces and MDA to make sure we met the city's requirements and set up those appointments and made sure everything worked according to permits.  I would highly recommend Unique Concrete Creations.  I will never consider another company regarding my backyard work they are excellent and do long lasting work.  </p> Going with a cheaper contractor in the beginning is sunk cost and a waste of time and effort, dealing with that contractor and having to get rid of him took years off my life, life is too short.  Hire contractors who know what they are doing you cannot go wrong hiring Unique Concrete Creations.  I cannot wait to be finished and have the whole group over for a BQ they all feel like part of our family. <br />"

"Mario and his employees are the best! From the beginning to end, Mario provided us with the best service. We are very satisfied with the work that was done by Mario and his employees. I contacted him by phone, and he came immediately for a free estimate. He sent me a proposal for the work that I requested and his price was very good. Mario answered all of my emails and questions promptly. They also tried really hard to accommodate around our busy schedule and completed the entire job in 1 day. I left the home so they could work on the floors, and to my surprise, Mario personally called me on the phone to update me on the status. He asked if I had any questions or concerns. When I returned home, the floors were so shiny and the grout was clean. Everything was sealed. The marble floors looked better than when it was first installed. The employees asked that I inspect the floors to make sure I was happy with the results and see if they missed anything. Everything was perfect, Mario and his team were professional, fast, and provided us with top quality work. We will definitely hire them again for our future stone care needs."

"Khiem was easy to work with and provided excellent service. Gave honest feedback on where we could save money. Good planning on the sequence of tasks to be done and executed them well. Kept the worksite clean and tidy throughout the project and made sure that the driveway and the walkways were clean at the end of each day. All the members of his team were experts in different areas and took pride in their work. Paid attention to details and quickly fixed any issues or mistakes in my design. Khiem procured all the plants I requested from a good nursery. Patiently installed drip irrigation covering the entire yard including for the ground cover. The drip irrigation was all buried to be invisible. Refused to use sprinklers anywhere even if it was less work. Replanted some of the new Hydrangea bushes from where they had too much sun to a shady area."

"I cannot say enough good about Art.  He installed tile which looks like hardwood in our master bedroom.  He came out to bid our job was on time and gave us our bid in a timely fashion.  He worked extremely h****** our floor and did more than most installers would do as our house is a concrete slab and he had to fill a crack and level the floor on one side.  Our floor looks great, we could not be happier!!   <br /> Another aspect we loved about Art is he does his own work, he was on time, did a great job and the pricing was very fair.   He did such a great job he is doing our other 2 bedrooms in November with the same tile.  Thank you Art for doing a fantastic job!! <br />"

"I'd like to give a hat tip to their project manager on our job, Miki. He was in constant contact with us through out the job. He managed his crew, and his subs, in a timely and clean manner. Our city inspector stopped by for a surprise inspection mid-project and told me 'they are doing a grad-A job". We ultimately chose Cosmic for their reasonable bid, and ability to finance. They finished on time and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. Thank you Miki."

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

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.
