"The folks who actually contracted to do the work, same phone number, was iNCRETEABLE. After receiving the quote and HOA approval a date was scheduled about 2 weeks out that met both of our timetables. The guys showed up on time at required date and went to work power stripping my well worn driveway. The second step way a base coat followed by antique highlighting and finally sealed with a solvent based clear coat with anti-slip additive. The whole project took a full two days with an additional three days to allow the top coat to fully cure before car traffic. Outcome was amazing (see photo) and their efforts and workmanship was excellent. They will follow-up in one year to see if an additional clear coat might be needed. Completely recommend based on final outcome. If your looking to make a tired stained or painted look like new then start with these guys."

"CYMBAL RESPONDED TO MY REQUEST FOR SERVICES PROMPTLY. SHE CALLED AND WE TALKED. WE SET AN APPOINTMENT FOR MONDAY AT 2 PM. MONDAY. AT 2 PM, SHE AND HER CREW WERE HERE AND READY TO GO! WE TOOK A TOUR OF WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE, AND THEY SET ABOUT DOING IT...AND DO IT THEY DID! I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY LAWN SERVICE I HAVE EVER HAD WORK SO HARD. MY FLOWERBEDS WERE WILDLY OVERGROWN WITH WEEDS, THE GRASS HAD NOT BEEN MOWED IN A MONTH. MY LAWN SERVICE HAD ABANDONED ME, AND IT LOOKED LIKE IT. IT WAS AMAZING THE TIME THEY TOOK TO DO WHAT I NEEDED AND DO IT RIGHT. THESE ARE VERY HARD WORKING, WONDERFUL PEOPLE WHOSE WORK I SO MUCH APPRECIATE THAT I HAVE HIRED THEM TO WORK FOR ME ON A REGULAR BASIS DOING LAWN-CARE, HANDYMAN WORK, PAINTING, LANDSCAPING, AND WHATEVER I NEED HELP WITH; FOR CYMBAL AND HER CREW DO IT ALL. FOR OVER A YEAR, I HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR MORE THAN A LAWN SERVICE. I NEEDED HELP MAINTAINING THE OUTSIDE OF MY HOUSE THAT WAS JUST TOO MUCH FOR ME TO HANDLE WITH MY AGE AND PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS. EVERYONE I TRIED LEFT ME DISAPPOINTED. SO MANY WOULD NEVER CALL, NEVER SHOW UP, PROMISE AND NOT DELIVER. WELL, CYMBAL AND HER CREW FROM LEHIGH LAWNCARE AND JANITORIAL SERVICES DID NOT DISAPPOINT. THEY GAVE ME MORE THAN I WAS EXPECTING AND WORKED SO VERY HARD. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THAT SPECIAL SERVICE THAT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND, LOOK NO FURTHER, BECAUSE YOU JUST FOUND THEM!"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Alva, FL

Most shed foundations benefit from a gravel layer four to six inches deep after proper compaction. The exact depth may vary depending on your specific soil conditions, climate, and shed weight. In areas with poor drainage or for heavier structures, contractors might recommend slightly deeper installations. Building the pad in multiple compacted layers rather than a single thick pour helps achieve optimal stability and load distribution.

Gravel pads cost significantly less than concrete foundations. While gravel materials run about $1.25 to $1.80 per square foot, concrete slabs average $6 per square foot. For a standard shed base, this price difference translates to substantial savings. Beyond the initial cost advantage, gravel pads also offer easier installation, simpler modifications if needed, and don't require specialized concrete finishing skills.

For a standard 10-by-12 shed pad, you'll need enough gravel to cover 120 square feet at the recommended depth. At rates of $1.25 to $1.80 per square foot, expect to spend $150 to $216 on gravel materials alone. Remember to factor in extending the pad beyond the shed's dimensions by one to two feet on each side for better drainage and stability, which increases the actual area needed.

The ideal gravel for shed foundations combines stability with proper drainage capabilities. Crusher run ($0.40 per square foot) makes an excellent base layer because it contains various particle sizes that lock together when compacted. For top layers, angular gravel provides better drainage while maintaining stability. Avoid perfectly round decorative stones as they don't compact effectively and may shift under weight, compromising your shed's stability over time.
