"I am a civil engineer that knows good quality work when I see it. Tim and the crew did an excellent job. The installation gave the property much more curb appeal. Money well spent with a fellow that does what he says he will do. Pleasure doing business with you Tim."

"Start to Finish recently completed the landscaping for our newly purchased (MI) home. Jeff, Peggy, and the rest of their team were very friendly, hardworking, and accommodating when it came to choosing the types of plants and the specific design we wanted to achieve.

"It's a difficult area to control rainwater because of the size of the parking area.  They installed rip rap, edging and a drain to control the flow of water down a slope at the side of the garden.  This is an effective drain. In very heavy rain, there is still alot of water pouring through the drain, but Eathwood has relliably continued to monitor the area, and make improvements as needed.

"Outstanding all around! Mike and his crew are very pleasant individuals and were true to their word. They did the work we agreed to on the days that we agreed to -- including working Saturday and Sunday to complete the job -- at the cost agreed to. The results are excellent. We are delighted by the improvement inside the garage, for the carport to the left of the garage, and behind the garage. The concrete pad in the garage now slopes nicely toward the front of the garage, and there's a neat slot for the garage door to close into. On the left side of the garage, what previously was 3 separate concrete slabs all broken up that allowed water to pool in them are now a single seamless slab that drains toward the driveway. The stairs Mike and crew installed are robust and firmly anchored. I will definitely contact them again for future services.

"Mulch looked good and the guys did a great job but it smelled like cat poop or manure all summer.  Had to keep the windows closed and could not set on our back deck depending on which way the wind was blowing.

"Scott came out to our new home, which was a newly built spec home in Bridgewater, which had spec home quality landscaping (not much).  He was the most responsive and knowledgeable of the 4 different companies who came out.  When we asked about different plants, he would know instantly that the sun or lack of sun along with the soil, would or would not work for us.  If it wouldn't work, he came up with an even better solution.  The only reason we didn't use this service was because the original landscaper was giving us a huge credit toward the redevelopment of our landscape/hardscape.

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Arcadia, IN

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.
