I recommend them highly, and I definitely plan on calling them again in the near future to add a custom fireplace and more landscape stones.

Shane came out, gave us a very reasonable quote to prepare and level out our existing driveway, and then spread the crushed concrete Copeland was going to deliver. We actually had several things come up that prevented us from doing it immediatly, but when we called him back approx 5 months later, he was extremely gracious and came back out to meet with my husband and go over all the details again. He figured the amount of base we would need and set everything up with Copeland's. He did the prep work one day, and the next day the concrete base was delivered and he did an awesome job of spreading it. We now have an wonderful driveway(with no mud!!), and we no longer have to cringe when it rains. Shane is definitely a "handshake is as good as a contract" type guy, and that's so refreshing in the world we live in today. I would recommend him to any and everyone if you need any type of tractor work done on your property.

After consulting with owner Rich Collins, he drew up a landscape design for my approval. I had requested an easy to care for landscape and that is what the design provided. After approval, Rich scheduled his stone mason to begin work on the retaining wall. The wall is beautiful and the quality is excellent. The next stage of the project was the construction of the arbor over my patio. Once the wooden structure of the arbor was completed, the stone masons returned and built stone boots around the 4 posts. These boots add the wow-factor to the arbor! Fill dirt and topsoil was brought it to level the yard up to the top of retaining wall and then a 4' wrought iron fence was installed on top of the stone wall. The final phase involved the plantings and construction of stone walkways. The plants include knockout roses, kaleidoscope abelia, dwarf yaupon, Indian hawthorn, cleyera, crape myrtles, and drawf pink muhly grass. Care was taken to level the stepping stones and a concrete fountain. Rich is very knowledgeable and works with customerst o fulfill their vision of the project. All of his workers are friendly and respectful and would answer any questions. At the end of each day, they cleaned the area so the space was never an eyesore. The finished yard is beautiful and will mature into a show place. So many of my neighbors have stopped by to compliment the yard and it makes me so proud. I enthusiastically recommend Rich and his company.

All excellent! The only possible 'negative' is because of an 'architectural view' oversight in the laying of one of the flag stones. I was not at home, so maybe it's MY fault. Karlo addressed the issue immediately when all is dry and blended it will probably NOT be an issue! The work also included gluing some questionable fissures in the stones and cleaning and sealing the wall, steps and patio stones. Karlo drove far and wide to find the best stone to match my 'lesser white' Austin stone. Finally, in the 'over and above' category, Karlo, from a last minute request, replaced two austin stone border stones on a neighbor's walkway. (This amount was included on my bill that I collected from my neighbor.) Once billed, Karlo dropped by the next day to pick up the payment. Then, the following day, he stopped by to drop off a sample of a lime stone cleaner that I could use on my stone mailbox if it discolored this summer. All excellent, again. I will call Karlo again and again for any masonry needs that I have and I will recommend him to anyone who asks! I intend to have him seal my stone repeatedly in the future.

The work done is amazing and we get compliments all the time about how wonderful our yard looks. Would recommend them to anyone! They designed the entire front yard from house to street including the stone work, plants, trees, grass, and drainage.

Ted, I want you to know that the work you did for me turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. I can hardly believe how green and full the lawn is. The effort you made in getting the stone that I wanted really paid off, it looks great. If anyone where to ask me to provide a...
It took a few weeks to get started on the stone borders. Once they did start, it took about 4 days to complete. They also had a crew remove all of my grass to prep the yard for the sod while they got the sod. We picked an Austin Stone with French pattern and no brick cap for our stone...
Everything was perfect. I contacted Brandon in late May and showed him my plans for a custom patio with a very unique shape. We discussed our budget, and he definitely worked with us to get "the biggest bang for the buck." On the day work was scheduled, the crew showed up precisely at 8:30am...

FAQs for stone and gravel service projects in Alvarado, TX
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.
