"Mr. Lemus has an excellent crew that gets right to work. We had 10 yards of mulch and three yards of Leafgrow delivered that morning and by the end of the day our flower beds were all edged and mulched, the lawn was aerated and has a top "dressing" of three yards of Leafgrow and the place looks fantastic. This was a long day for these guys -- finished up at about 6PM but wow I was super impressed. Mr. Lemus is friendly and very accommodating. His crew is polite and very respectful -- always yes, sir or yes ma'am. Really, I'd recommend them to anyone. The name says it all -- quality work at reasonable prices. Love these guys!"

"Riveras Landscaping LLC Gutter Cleaning and Maintenance I am very impressed with the work of Rivera’s Landscaping. They responded immediately to my request for an estimate for leave clean-up, gutter clean-up, and gutter repair. Edwin arrived promptly the next day. He gave me an estimate that was reasonable and offered to clean the gutters and fix the gutters on the spot that day while arranging for the leave clean-up the following week. He did a great job on both items. I appreciated that Edwin responded to my weather-related concern to get the leave clean-up done earlier. He somehow squeezed me into his busy schedule to avoid the upcoming inclement weather forecast for our arranged day. Edwin maintains great communication so you know what is going on. He did an outstanding job on the leave clean-up blowing, raking, and bagging. My yard was impeccable. He also fixed the mortar missing in my chimney, something he had noticed when he fixed my gutters. Edwin learned that he also does snow removal so I got on his list for that. I am happy to have a reliable and great resource for this winter. If you want meticulous attention to any yard/house task at affordable rates, I highly recommend Rivera’s Landscaping. Dec 21, 2022"

"This was my second project with Alvaro and the results are outstanding. The project involved installing a French drain system that included catch basins for roof down spout gutters and sump pump drainage, and channel drains for patio. The catch basins and channel drains led to a drainage pipe, which discharges water at the end of driveway into the street. After several months of observation with heavy downpours, The results are outstanding as this has resolved several issues (sump pump drainage, standing water in yard and runoff water from patio). Alvaro is very meticulous in his work and pays attention to detail."

"We were looking to have a basketball court in our backyard for awhile and couldn't find anyone who could come up with a suitable design/product that would work in our backyard at a reasonable price until we talked to Capitol Hardscapes. Chris came to our house and came up with a solution and location for the basketball court with materials that would be durable and look nice. Capitol Hardscapes came out to do the work when promised and the crew was professional, completed the work on time and cleaned up everything afterwards. We are planning to use Capitol Hardscapes again for an upcoming patio project. We highly recommend their work."

"The new parking pad and driveway Dominic installed literally changed my world!!!! I risk sounding like a TV ad...but I was so thrilled with the final product....and I have done a lot of remodeling and repair work. The new, clean and crisp look of the driveway has increased the property value/curb appeal. And it resolved daily problems I had to drive around in order to use my driveway. Dominic was a true professional...he was punctual, measured efficiently and presented an immediate and clear written estimate. We discussed the pros and cons plus pricing of doing the parking pad and/or the driveway. I was upfront on my financial restrictions which he understood and did not push or play games. I felt he was dealing with me honestly. Initially, I contracted to do the parking pad only, but after the first day and seeing the amount of work and their thorough prep work, I bit the bullet and added on the driveway redo portion. I just wish I could hire Dominic for more work! Repaving work is not cheap. However, Dominic's pricing was very reasonable. I had no idea the amount of work and machinery/labor required for the job and completely understood his pricing. In retrospect, the pricing was more than fair. My job took 3 days hard manual labor. I had no clue it would be such a huge amount of work."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Upper Marlboro, MD

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.
