El Cajon County Pea Gravel FAQ

Pea gravel can best be used in paths, patios, driveways and playgrounds. They are also commonly used in landscaping and gardening projects. They are often overlooked as mulch mixtures that are used in plants, but they are not.
Maintaining a pea gravel is relatively easy. You will just have to rake the surface every now and then to keep it clean and tidy. It may sink into the soil after some time, so it is recommended to replenish at every 3 to 4 years or when you notice that they visibly sink to the ground.
Removing the snow might be challenging but can be easy when you get used to it. You will just have to shovel the snow on top of it while leaving a thin layer. Make sure that you do not disturb the gravel beneath the snow. When all that is left are the thin layers, you may now melt it with salt.

Retaining Walls

Addison B. Escondido, CA

Split level home with a slab foundation on a sloped property. There is currently a deck located behind the mid level kitchen at the back of the structure. Adjacent to the deck is a ground level patio that is behind the walk out family room next to but on a level about 6 feet below kitchen. I want to remove the deck and excavate that area that was under the deck to make it level with the patio. I need a retaining wall to prevent subsidence of the soil supporting the slab supporting the kitchen. I will later pour a slab and build a storage structure using the roof as the floor for the replacement deck behind the kitchen. I may elect to do the wall, slab and side walls off the storage structure as one project of poured concrete depending on cost, with a prefab slab for a roof and roll up door for the fourth wall.
