Pea Gravel Service Timing Guide
Pea gravel service involves the installation, maintenance, and renewal of pea gravel surfaces used in landscaping, pathways, and driveways. Proper timing ensures optimal results, durability, and cost-effectiveness. The best time for service depends on local climate conditions, soil moisture levels, and project scope.
Spring offers moderate temperatures and dry weather, ideal for installing or refreshing pea gravel surfaces before peak usage months.
Summer provides longer days and warm conditions, suitable for ongoing maintenance and touch-ups, especially in regions with mild summers.
Fall is suitable for preparing surfaces for winter, including adding fresh gravel and ensuring proper drainage before colder months.
Winter is generally less ideal for new installations due to cold temperatures and potential for snow or ice, but minor repairs can be scheduled if conditions permit.
