"Working with BIG SKY GRAVEL AND DIRTWORKS L.L.C was a delight and a very pleasant change, compared to previous work I have had done in the past, with other contractors. BIG SKY GRAVEL AND DIRTWORKS L.L.C was very professional and made sure to discuss the job with me, including specific areas and specific concerns, until the details were thoroughly understood. The quality of the work was superb, leaving me with a great driveway and pad area for a garage. With the portable garage up, the area exactly matches the intended plan for the area. I highly recommend BIG SKY GRAVEL AND DIRTWORKS L.L.C and wouldn't hesitate whatsoever at rehiring them."

"I have to say Erik is amazing to work with! 
First of all he is upfront with the costs,  for our project he provided a price per square foot which he stuck with throughout the several modifications we made to the scope of the project.  It made calculating any changes we wanted simple.  I can say he is the ONLY contractor  that we have had hired during our home remodel whose final bill was exactly what we were expecting, no surprise extra fees or unexpected overrun costs.
Secondly, he and all his staff were always very polite, professional, organized and knowledgeable. They were very respectful of my home and property and kept the jobsite unbelievably clean, especially considering they were working with dirt and stone.  Erik is very approachable and I felt comfortable asking him all types of questions related to the project.  He never makes you feel like your bothering him or wasting his time, and is incredibly prompt at returning emails or phone calls.
Lastly, he stands by his work.  When our project was completed Erik explained that over the next year(s) we may see some shifting in the rock and to let him know of any issues.  When this spring we noticed a section had shifted a bit more than we had expected we emailed Erik.  He replied to our email that night and was out to inspect the area in the next few days and within a week the portion of wall was restacked and looking great again. 
I would (and have) recommended him to anyone who is looking for a retaining wall or patio installation."

"Thanks to Alex and his crew of meticulous, hardworking, artistic tradesmen of Soil and Stone Landscape my wife and I how have a beautiful, spacious, and usable yard. The front porch, back stairs, back and side yards of our house are now covered with newly installed colorful pavers and drain rock which replaced the unsightly grass areas filled with weeds and brown dirt. The old and deteriorating wood fence on the back, side and front of the property was replaced with a strong, sturdy and wind resistant wood fence. All this work was performed expeditiously and with good judgement by Alex and his workers while we were away from our home. When we returned home, we were amazed with what we saw when we walked around our house and through the yard. It was a beautiful sight to behold! Thank you, Alex, you did an outstanding job!"

"I have worked with John and Fernando on 2 separate projects and have been pleased with the results. John is very responsive and did a great job helping me with the design. He did not try to oversell me on things I did not need. The crew did a good job on the install and got both projects done quickly."

"They came on time (4 men and worked efficiently) as scheduled to do a spring yard clean up and did it, but I had hoped to have new bark put down, and all the branches, weeds, and trimmings hauled away.  After they got here, I found out that they didn't bring in any bark or materials or didn't haul away anything either.  It was way too much waste for our yard waste can so we had to haul it away ourselves which was a pain.  I had previous years had a different guy do spring clean-ups who did bring in bark, hauled away the trimmings, and trimmed and weeded a lot more and left it looking a bit neater.  He was just one man working alone and cost more and it took him all day instead of just a couple hours that cloudy sky took, but I decided this spring to go back to the original guy who cost more but did more.  Cloudy Sky did a fine job, especially for the price, but my other guy does a much better and complete job, and we need the bark brought in an the mess hauled away after....a littler more flexibility to do what we want.

"Overall the process was good. From Ryan coming out and getting a design made up quickly from what I told him I wanted to Jose and the crew installing the Paver Patio everything went smooth and the timeline was maybe a couple of weeks. I'd definitely hire them again. Thanks again!"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Auburn, WA

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.
