We are retired military and new to the area. We contacted this local company to build a pea gravel circle driveway in the front of our new house. We were told that the company knew how to build the drive and what they were going to do for our driveway and we met with them on multiple occasions. A quality, functional product didn't happen for us by this company. They did zero prep work before laying the gravel. They simply lifted the sod, put down fabric and dumped the gravel. The ground immediately started rutting and moving around under the gravel as well as weeds and grass came through the fabric within weeks because there wasn't any base. It was not functional at all. We were told we would have a 4.5 to 5 inch edging to hold the gravel and what I initially got was a 1.5 inch paver edging that was not even installed properly and was never intended to hold tons of gravel that was 2 inches deep minimum. Bottom line: they told us one thing and then cut corners wherever they could get away with it leaving us with a liability. The quality of product was completely absent. One month and some change after installation of the drive by Creative Edge and after never being able to use it, we are PAYING as we speak, to have the driveway redone and done properly so it's functional and aesthetically pleasing. I noticed the company posted a "finished" pic of our driveway for their portfolio on their company Facebook page on the very day I have workmen fixing my driveway so I commented and shared photos of the work being done to "fix" our project. I can't see that Facebook page or the photos any longer so one can surmise what happened. Heed our cautionary tale, folks! It would have been lovely to have a finished product that we could use done properly the first time. This company didn't make that happen and I wouldn't trust them on any other endeavor.

I do not recommend hiring Creative Edge, but if you do decide to hire them, I recommend you do some research up front so that you are 100% aware of what the acceptable standards are, and require them to show photos of similar projects they have done. I wanted to install a pea gravel driveway and began to search for a company to install it. I saw Creative Edge working on a landscaping project in our neighborhood and it looked okay so I asked them if they could install a pea gravel driveway. They said they could. At the time I was not familiar with the steps and requirements for this project. My assumption was I was dealing with a professional who told me he could do it. I believed him. This was a mistake. I now know after the fact that several critical steps were omitted either because he didnt know what he was doing or because he cut corners. Either way, the result was a botched job that I will have to fix. Most landscape professionals will tell you that a driveway or paver porch requires 4-6 inches of base material packed down to ensure the ground underneath drains properly, remains sturdy, flat and does not rut. Creative edge removed the sod, placed landscaping cloth down and then spread 2 inches of pea-gravel on top of the landscaping cloth. No base layer at all. The ground underneath the gravel immediately began to rut when driven on. In addition to the base layer, a driveway or porch project must have a proper slope to drain well. Creative Edge did not do this. They didnt level or install the proper slope. Additionally, they installed a 1.5-inch landscape edge to hold in 2 inches of pea gravel. The pea-gravel immediately started spilling over the edge. We called them on that right away and they went back and replaced it with taller edging. The pea gravel itself is a smooth edge gravel that rolls a lot when walking or driving on it. Any quick google search shows that they require some sort of grid system to hold the gravel in place, so it doesnt move or rut. They installed a grid system a few feet in front of the concrete apron so that gravel wont spill into the street, but nowhere else. I would have paid for this material on the entire driveway had I been told in advance how pea-gravel moves but this was never offerd as an option. To be fair, Creative Edge provided everything that their invoice listed. Unfortunately, I didnt realize at the time that it didnt meet established common standards for this project. I should have done my research up front and insisted that the omitted steps listed above be included or hire another company. Lesson learned on my part. Service: Driveway or walkway paving

What a wonderful and smooth experience from start to finish! Even along the way we needed to make small changes and they were so responsive and helpful throughout the whole process. They just finished up the work yesterday (we had some valves that were causing extra issues during repairs but they handled everything so thoroughly) and weve already received so many compliments from our neighbors! It looks amazing and we are so happy with the work! They trimmed up our large tree in front of the house, tore out all the old sod and landscaping, replaced the sod, added some beautiful landscaping, and repaired/checked our irrigation system. Thank you all! Were so happy with this company! Services: Tree trimming & pruning, Sod installation, Yard landscaping, Irrigation system repair & maintenance
