"I hired Avalanche to do some rock work. He leveled the ground and made our yard look great. We were also having some issues with our sprinklers at the time... and he fixed it that same day, no problem! While he was there, I was telling him that I wanted to build a raised garden bed out of some old brick that we had from a previous project. He made that happen as well! It came out better than I imagined. The pictures dont do it justice! He was knowledgeable and friendly. We will be using him in the future and I highly recommend him to others. Thanks :)"

"Great! They cleaned up my large yard quickly. No issues. Everyone on the crew was nice and pleasant to work with. They cleaned out some bushes around my patio that I didn't think would be included in the price. They went above and beyond."

"Several years ago we replaced our upstairs bathroom flooring....using a friend. We realize he didn't know what he was doing when he put the toilet back in. Years later we have ugly mold/fungus on our downstairs ceiling and between the floors. I saw a referral here, on Nextdoor, to use Shawn Turano of PROPERTY RESTORATION SOLUTIONS. Great referral! He really knows how to handle dangerous molds, utilizing HEPA requirements, etc. He gave us a reasonable bid, adhered to it, did an outstanding job and solved our problem. If you need property/disaster restoration from a flood, fire, smoke, mold, or general contracting needs, I can honestly refer Shawn. Here is his number: 719-650-5895."

"Jose and his team were excellent!  He came highly recommended and he didn't disappoint.  We needed the renovation to start as soon as possible so we could meet the schedule of moving out of our old house.  Jose called and was able to start a week earlier than we had scheduled, which was extremely helpful.
He started on a Monday and got right to work. When I stopped by the house I was amazed at the amount of work he and his team had accomplished in just one day.  Jose posted a list on the wall of work to be accomplished and kept it updated with notes and progress, so we
always knew exactly where he was schedule-wise and knew what expect and when materials would arrive.  Jose also took the time every day to talk to us and explain the progress and what to expect in the coming days.  He always answered all of our questions and made sure we were completely satisfied before he left for the day.
Progress flowed continually and logically throughout the following weeks of construction.  There was substantial progress every day and each member of Jose's team was very polite, neat and personable.  You could tell Jose and each member of his team really took pride in their work and they treated our house as if it were their house. Countless times, Jose told us that his #1 priority was to make sure we were happy and completely satisfied with the work being done.  He knew it wasn't just a job and a paycheck, but an investment in our home and in our
future. You could tell he really took that seriously and it was very much appreciated.
Jose made sure that we were involved every step of the way.  He would often meet us as at a local hardware store to pick out finishes and products that we wanted installed.  When we told him we wanted a particular vanity for the bathroom, he searched all over the city and finally found one in a town 30 miles away!  It was incredible; he literally went out of his way to make sure we were completely satisfied.
We bought our house with an FHA 203(k) loan to finance the renovation.  FHA inspects the house before any work is done, reviews the contractor's estimate of work to be done, and signs off on whether or not the work will be adequate to bring the house up to FHA standards. Once the work was complete, we still had to pass an FHA inspection to make sure everything was adequate.  We were very confident in Jose's work and extremely happy with what he had done, but we were still slightly nervous for the FHA inspection because you know what to expect in an inspection like that.
The inspector came through and was BLOWN AWAY with the transformation of the house!  He was extremely impressed with the quality of work and the care and craftsmanship that went into it.  It was literally like a different house.  The purchase price was about $168K and we got a loan for about $200K to pay for the renovation.  After the inspection, the inspector said the house was absolutely incredible and estimated it would sell for about $250K!  Thanks to Jose's hard work, we basically had about $50K instant equity.
All of our new neighbors have stopped by just RAVING about the work that was done.  Our house went from the ugliest, worst on the block to absolutely the nicest and the best.  Our Realtor who sold us the house was equally blown away when he saw the finished product.  Every single person who sees the before and after are just incredulous.  I cannot give Jose props enough.
He is a very busy contractor, so it may take some time to get on his schedule, but don't get frustrated or upset.  He is busy because he is genuinely nice, honest and really takes pride in his work.  We have recommended him to two friends now and they are equally happy with his work - they thank us for referring him to them.  Any work we may need done in the future will be done by Jose and his team.  We won't ever call another contractor because their work is of the highest quality and they are very competent in virtually all areas.  If they need to bring in a subcontractor, they are very discerning.  We are equally happy with the subcontractors that Jose occasionally used.
Thanks Jose!  You've turned a house desperately in need of much TLC into a home that we look forward to living in and raising our family for decades to come!

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Canon City, CO

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.
