"They were referred to us by our pool guy.  They did an excellent job.  It was their office who went over the plan with me then he asked those main guys in charge so it was actually the guy who did a lot of the work and had the understanding of what I wanted.  He answered my questions.  Overall, they were awesome to work with.  They were the easiest people that I worked with."

"We met with Jeremy and he went over everything in detail. What I liked most is he offered different lines of windows and styles and siding manufactures.  He wasn't the Wallside sales guy which we had quote the same process under their buy one get one free deal? He helped us with designs, colors, gave us places to see his work along with phone references. We talked to his suppliers and they also recommended him above other contractors they sell to! <br /> The biggest question for us was the color combination! Horizon made up renderings so we could see  what it would look like committing to any material purchase. Followed that up by getting samples from the rendering choices and that caused concern as the actual colors were different than the renderings!  Jeremy offered his family design person Rebecca!  His sister! He explained she was the they family's color coordinator !  Becca as Jeremy calls her came out to our house (several times) went to look at not only colors but textures as well along with the stone color and BANG she nailed it !!! She definitely has an eye for detail and color combinations!  She is not on staff but she should be when it comes to a major project like we had. <br /> Anyway Jeremy's crew showed up when they said did all that they quoted and went beyond what they quoted by taking down vines from my house, removing a TV antenna, and painting the trim and the stack from my chimney!  The stone work was the last portion completed and then  the rain gutters went up.  The only delays was due to weather which can be expected. <br /> His crew worked steady every day. We were never concerned of their ability or workmanship.  They were courteous and trustworthy.  When the project was done they cleaned up the grounds and every last scrap was picked up from around the house. <br /> My neighbors have given us raving reviews!  Most say if they wouldn't have known better they would have thought we rebuilt. <br /> I would recommend Horizon for their quality and workmanship!  Nice guys to work with!! <br />"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Wayland, MI

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.
