"Plants and trees that Mike picked out for our landscaping were very nice. Everything was planted and arranged beautifully except for the trees that were planted on the edge of the house. They were planted way to close to roof line but they did come out and replant them after we contacted the company. There was an issue about an original tree that was in the middle of our yard before the landscaping was started that was suppose to be taken out and planted in another area during the landscaping project and this did not get done with the initial landscaping. This issue was resolved after a few phone calls. They did leave a round open space in our front lawn where the tree was taken out and it took them quite a while and quite a few phone calls to bring grass to cover the spot. Hoogland's does beautiful work. Their only problem is in the time it takes to correct issues that come up after the project is completed. <br />"

"The owners name is Jacob Kolsy and he has bent over backwards to make me happy and do what we needed done. He was always on time before he finished any projects he says "I believe I've got it done Mr. Hervey please come take a look." And if there was anything that I wanted different it was fixed. He was willing to come out on a Sunday for me. I'm in the process of moving and I just bought a brand new double wad and he's the one who brewed the company I bought the house from to be contracted to do the septic. And he also did the slab and the padding or the house, the gut work and that's how I met him and I've hired him to do some additional projects after that. He's doing my driveway and ploughing a dam for me. The only comparison I can give you at the moment is the driveway because the septic wasn't cleared in the house. The driveway is $4000. I got 4 estimates and the closest one to that was $6500. It's a gravel driveway."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Vivian, LA

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.
