"This company does great work. They transformed a bumpy broken cracked and crooked driveway to a nicely finished smooth and solid driveway. Occasionally it was hard to reach them by phone but I would always get a call back eventually. They went to great lengths on preparation to ensure the job was done to a good standard. The only word of caution is that they depend on another company to supply the asphalt hotmix. I had to wait for about 8 days once Garza Bros was ready to pave because the hotmix supplier was running a different grade of asphalt than what my job required, and I had to wait until the supplier was finished this large order of a different grade of asphalt before he could produce the grade needed for my driveway. But the result was worth the wait. Don't hesitate about hiring them but if timing is critical to your job, be sure and check whether the supplier is going to be able to provide the hotmix in a time frame that suits your needs."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Brownsville, TX

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.
