"We had no idea what we wanted to do with our backyard. All we knew was that we wanted it to be low maintenance and look better than what it was. We met and discussed option I didn't want sod and not just rocks out back, so after taking a couple of days to decide, we went with Chris and Tree of Life Lanscaping. Chris was the foreman overseeing multiple jobs and was the main contact person. He was quick to return my calls and texts during the project. We made several changes during the project, and Chris and his crew were flexible and handled the changes without any issues. Chris and his crew delivered as promised"

"This repair did not go very well. We purchased a home in Colorado Springs, about a year ago. We come from a region where irrigation systems are unnecessary, and I had little practical experience with them. In all fairness to the Sprinkler's Inc team, our valve manifold, which was spread over two adjacent valve boxes, was a Rube Goldberg cluster of PVC. The original failure involved a PVC tee, that just "blew out". The tech got right to work, dug up the box (129.00 charge for digging out the box... A bit steep, in my opinion, but not entirely unreasonable), and replaced the failed tee. He explained that the original tee had been a "hardware store" tee, and that this is why it failed (NOTE: I'd suggest to Sprinklers Inc that your techs probably shouldn't assume that everyone lacks materials knowledge... "Hardware store" tees... Assuming they're marked SCH-40 are required to meet the same ASTM requirements as tees from expensive irrigation repair companies...). Then... When he put pressure to the system, a threaded fitting in the downstream manifold stage blew out. The fitting appears to have been a PVC "close nipple" between the outlet on the tee and the valve... That particular tee was threaded... (like I said... Rube Goldberg...). He made a trip to the plumbing supply house (I was charged a 22.00 "trip fee"), and purchased ANOTHER PVC "close nipple" which he then threaded into the existing tee. I did get a "free" valve at this point (although I'm not sure it was brand new...). At this point, the owner arrived and someone apparently thought to check the pressure coming into the irrigation system on the house side of the backflow preventer. The pressure was reading 120 psi! Up to this point... I don't have much of a complaint. I think the work that was performed was slightly above market value in terms of cost, but I was OK with this. I don't agree with using a close nipple in this application! I had to return to the office, and asked the tech to contact me when he was finished. He calls and tells me about the overpressure issue, says "Don't turn the system on", and then tells me the total is 531.00 (I'm not sure how they got this number, as it looks like I actually got a discount on top of my "club" discount). I tell the tech that I'll settle up with the office on Monday... It's 6 PM on a Friday, and I want to have a look at the work before I pay the bill. I stop by the HW store on the way home to pick up a pressure gauge to check the water pressure. I get home... Test the water pressure, and sure enough... 120+ PSI throughout the house! I replace both of our pressure regulators on Saturday morning. Set the pressure at 60 PSI. Start up the irrigation system. All seems well. By the next afternoon, the tee with the close nipple, fractures along the entire length of the body, and we're back where we started. The following weekend, I sit down with a mechanical cad system, design, and build, a new manifold assembly, dig the boxes out, completely replace the assembly *and* all of the valves, for about 350.00. The system is back in service, and working much better than it did before I ripped it out and replaced it. Flow is improved, and I have individual flow control over each of the valves. For all of this back story... Here's where I have a problem what happened. (1) I was charged 531.00 for effectively diagnosing that I had an overpressure problem (my neighbor has since told me that the previous owner probably set the pressure this high because he was dissatisfied with how well the irrigation system was working. This is consistent with other lunacy we've seen in this house, so I'm certainly not blaming Sprinkler's Inc for the overpressure problem. The previous owner, by all accounts, was an idiot...) (2) The exact replacement of the close nipple is, however, what caused the failure after the repair. It's clear that the close nipple was torqued into the tee VERY hard... In the end, this, coupled with an aged tee (I'm being a little generous here... PVC, when not exposed to UV or high temperatures, tends to last for about a billion years...) was the primary cause of the secondary failure. This is squarely the fault of Sprinkler's Inc. (3) Nothing was fixed! My goal was to restore my irrigation system to an operational state! If the tech had taken a look at the valve/manifold assembly, and said "good lord... That's a bloody mess... For 1500.00, I'll just install an entirely new manifold assembly, and have you back in business within a few days!", there's a pretty good chance I'd have given him the thumbs up... No option like this was ever presented. The original estimate was 335.00... I suspect the overall goal was to keep the Rube Goldberg contraption in place, because this would, in the end, yield more repair work... In the end, when I account for parts *and* my time, I spent much more than 1500.00 to repair the system. The fact that I no longer need external, and very costly, maintenance calls, will hopefully justify the expense (it's been done right, this time). I've tried to write a fair review here. The techs were all very professional, and I certainly don't mean to imply that I was really ripped off, in any way. I do think Sprinkler's Inc is about 15-20% over market price on almost everything. I was willing to let this go, because the techs seem to be on the ball. I do feel like the objective here wasn't really to make a long term lasting repair to my irrigation system but was, rather to put a bandaid on a problem so that future service calls would be more likely. This is made even more obvious by their tiered pricing structure (vs. a straight parts/labor model). Not unethical, but not a business model that really works for me. Given that every tech that's been in the valve boxes has remarked that they recognize Sprinkler's Inc's use of "blue tubing", I'm led to assume that Sprinkler's Inc was partially involved in creating the cluster of band-aids to start with. There isn't any more blue tubing in my valve boxes. I'm sure there are folks that are fine with paying 500-1000/year for irrigation system maintenance, but I'm not... If you are someone that subscribes to this kind of service model, then Sprinkler's Inc is a good choice. I expect a repair to be, well, a repair... I expect to pay for itemized parts and labor, vs. a "level 5" repair. and... I expect repair to be an exception, rather than a regularly occuring event inspired by poorly executed prior repair work."

"I can’t say enough good things about ABC Landscaping. After I first contacted Michael Couture for an estimate he was here within a day or so. I was also impressed at how quickly Michael and Barbara responded to my questions, whether by email or phone. Michael and his crew showed up right on schedule. I also appreciate that Dean Couture, the owner, also showed up on that morning; although he wasn’t working this job it showed that he had an interest in all his clients. The crew was awesome; very professional and friendly. They are some of the hardest workers I’ve encountered. Although I had certain plants in mind, when meeting Michael at the nursery he recommended a few items that might work better, and I’m sure glad I followed his recommendation. After the job was completed, there were a couple of issues with a few of the drip lines and Michael was back the very next day to fix them. And although we have a plant that is struggling (no fault of ABC), I have no doubt that Michael will replace it once I give the word! If you are looking for a landscaping company with integrity, reliability and professionalism, then you can’t go wrong with ABC Landscaping. I will definitely be using them for any future projects!"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Woodland Park, CO

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.
