We found the owner , Darcie, to be a very responsible, straight forward and honest business owner. Communication by phone and emails was excellent. Darcie is insured, bonded and carries workers' compensation insurance. She insisted that we remove the lawn correctly. We had a lot of bermuda grass which would grow back if we did not take the time to eliminate it, as efficiently as possible. Darcie respected our wishes and wanted us to be pleased with the results. She spent a lot of time with us in selecting plants, rocks, and boulders and took us to Green Acres, Silverado and Hasties on 2 occasions. We were involved in all decisions. She has her own crew of very capable, polite and hard-working men. We can?t remember all their names but Rigo and Jose were very helpful and friendly. Darcie is there on the job several times per day to make sure everything is done according to plan. The job was to take 4 days but was completed in 3 days. Darcie adjusted the labor charge, something we really appreciated. Darcie will tell you that she does not provide a drawing of the landscaping job. It made us a little nervous about not seeing even a sketch but we are very happy with the final results. Darcie arranged all the plants in the yard and asked for our input before planting. She adjusted the location to our liking. If we did not like some of the plants, she would remove and return them. The plants are guaranteed for 6 months. Darcie replaces any that do not survive during that period. We would highly recommend Darcie and her crew.We love the final product. Darcie can be very busy but it?s worth waiting for her to do your landscaping.

He removed all the sod from my backyard and utilized landscaping plans I had drawn up years ago. He was confident he could give me what I wanted in the yard. I had him build a recyclable waterfall, walking paths, and sitting areas. All plants were replaced with drought tolerant ones and he set up the drip system for all of them. He built me a stone half-wall to separate my garden from the yard, yet draw it all together. He also put in a round paver circle where I placed an outdoor fire pit and chairs.

When they did the drive way we had it done in aggregate and we had a bridge laid along the sides. It’s edged in brick in a ladder and then it plum creek aggregate with a seed rock. It turned out really, really nice and as soon as we have money enough we want to have them to do our back yard as well. We have about a quarter acre, backyard; so we got to save a lot of money. It was a fabulous experience though it took a little longer than we expected. We ran into bigger tree roots than we expected. We originally thought it would only be about 3 or 4 jump lands and it ended up being closer to 8 or 9 between the soil and concrete. We ended up having to lay down more gravel for bedding underneath the drive way because it turned out that we don't have a septic system. They had been disconnected but it is still leaching and the leaching is underneath the drive way. They had to put more rock out to be able to handle the leaching so that our drive way didn't sink. It took twice as much the gravel in order to firm up the ground and everything. The new lawn is fabulous, it sticks really well and he set up the timer system on it as well.

David had done small jobs for us before such as supervising the replacement of our water heater with an instant heater, but not something as extensive as this. David likes to keep his projects close to his home/office. This worked well for us because he could always get to us withing 15 minutes from his other job sites. David got the competitive bids from subs he had used before and trusted. He said they always knew they had to do good work or he would never use them again. He always took our side in getting any corrections or changes done.
We gave him our scope of work document, a single page of about a dozen items we wanted done, E.g. Solid wood maple floor, remove popcorn ceilings, upgrade house LAN to cat6, remove faux stone fire place, install new EPA rated fireplace. We also gave him a sketch and floor plan of the family room. He turned these into jobs for the different subs and put together a proposal with costs for us to revise and finally approve.
David always kept us informed about timing of work and did a good job of supervising the subcontractors. He met them at the start of each day and checked their work at the end of each day. There was a problem with the work done by one of the workers and he dealt with it promptly getting the sub to send out a more experienced worker. Other than that, all the subcontractors he hired did excellent work. The flooring contractor replaced our floor vents with ones that are flush to the flooring and made nice wood frames to go around them - something that we didn't know to ask for and a very nice touch. The fabricator who did the stone work at the fireplace did excellent work with very tight seams. These subcontractors were selected by David.
All tools, supplies and debris were cleaned up at the end of each day. When we told him that our grandchildren were visiting on the weekend, he went to extra efforts to make the area safe.
We originally had told him that we wouldn't need a backing board for the TV mount (which we were installing, not part of the contract). When we discovered that we did need one, he came over to install it the next day so that it could be in place and drywall replaced over it in time to not delay painting. He is willing to go to extra effort to make sure that things work for the client.
The pricing for the original work was reasonable. Change order pricing was handled very reasonably."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ca/sacramento/david-w-hoppe-construction-inc-reviews-6387218.htm"},"position":10}]}

FAQs for stone and gravel service projects in Carmichael, CA
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.
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):
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.
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.
