"This company does fantastic job. I have contacted so many contractors for my waterproofing and windows and no one explained it as thoroughly as them. They came did the job the next day the owner was there himself made sure my windows and waterproofing was done right. They are very professional and make sure the worksite is cleaned. I am thankful to find such honest and professional contractors."

"The project was started promptly, completed professionally without exclusions, questions or confusion. Thomas visited the site prior to giving a quote, even though my specifications were detailed and included a floor plan. He and his team arrived On-Time and prepared to work, and work they did. Installing 5/8" sheetrock requires strength, planning and care to achieve professional results, and these guys are pros! Every outlet and switch cut is point-on, every join smooth, every corner bead flawless and the ceiling and inner joins, perfect. 32 pieces of sheetrock installed to total professional perfection, ready to prime, in just 3 days. As a multi-home owner I will definitely be using Argostoli again and I am happy to offer my highest recommendation for their professional drywall work."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Brooklyn, NY

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.
