"Excellent company! Ernesto and his guys did a great job at re-grading and re-sodding my backyard. The drainage was terrible and Ernesto made some recommendations which they implemented -- some flagstone and granite gravel -- and it turned out wonderful. The crew was very efficient and cleaned up everything extremely well. I'm very pleased!"

"I scheduled an appointment with Joey to give me an estimate for some landscaping work. He forgot about the appointment until I called him, resulting in him being 1 1/2 hours late. Following our meeting, he was supposed to provide me with a quote for the work we discussed, but I haven’t heard from him. I’ve since read reviews on Backyards Plus. He either is a 5 star, or a 1 or 2 star based on the reasons I’ve cited above. Not sure if he treats all potential customers this way, or maybe my project wasn’t enough $$$ for him. I was ready to have him do my landscaping project and take over my lawn service. Doesn’t seem to want the business."

"Company needs more knowledgeable and reliable workers or the Owner (ose Perez) needs to be onsite more. After 12pm no workers showed up, so I had to contact the owner 3 separate days to verify if his workers were coming or not. Leveling of my back yard not completed as promised. One section of the stone wall for flower bed had to be done over. Not all the old molded mulch was removed as requested, but new mulch placed over it. No fresh soil, dirt or any type of lawn builder/prep was put in the areas where grass was put down. Also poor quality grass used although watered immediately and 2x daily, it still browned within 48 hours (with the proper dose of Scott lawn fertilizer still waiting for better results. Recently purchased some grass myself for other sections of my Lawn and it's doing well. (interesting). My suggestion, to avoid low quality plants and flowers please purchase them yourself. Have the owner provide a picture design of your project, naming each item and location. Regarding the $ value of the project as a whole, it would have been fair if it had been properly completed as agreed. Overall, Lesson learned, unless an emergency, be onsite as much as possible yourself and if necessary get a full independent inspection of the entire project before you make that final payment. Because a handshake and a promise is NOT what it use to be. I contacted the Owner by text to discuss and for suggestions, but he never responded back to me. I've waited 2.5 weeks before I wrote this review, in hope to hear from owner, but to-date nothing. However, I do wish the owner well in any future projects he takes on and use this project as a learning tool."

The average cost of a gravel driveway is about $1.25 to $2 per square foot, including the cost of materials, equipment, and professional installation. For example, a 16-by-30-foot driveway costs about $1,500. Cost factors include the type of gravel, how thick the gravel is installed, the condition of the landscape, and labor costs. Overall costs will vary depending on where you live and how accessible the job site is.
A gravel driveway should be at least 4 to 6 inches deep, depending on the soil it’s installed on. Softer soil that doesn’t drain well should have a deeper gravel driveway. Deeper gravel will mean you spend more on materials and labor, but you’ll get a more stable driveway and avoid damage that needs to be filled or graded flat again.
Because gravel moves, it requires different maintenance than asphalt or concrete. Here are a few maintenance tips for your gravel driveway. Every few years (or as often as needed):
Grade and level your driveway
Rake to fill holes and ruts
Compact any refilled potholes
Remove weeds with herbicide or by hand
Spray it with water to reduce the amount of dust kicked up
Avoid using a snowplow during winter months
A gravel driveway should last for up to 100 years with proper upkeep, which is minimal. Maintaining a gravel driveway includes grading and adding fresh gravel to fill in potholes. Otherwise, a gravel driveway holds up well to all kinds of weather. Plowing in the winter can be challenging and the gravel can develop ruts or potholes that need to be repaired, but the cost and longevity of gravel compared to concrete, asphalt, and pavers makes gravel an economical option, especially for long and/or wide driveways.
