"Jeff was very responsive. He promptly returned all my calls and answered all my questions and concerns. The blue stone patio turned out beautifully. The dry creek bed has helped with the drainage and wet muddy areas of the yard after a rain. Some of the plants he installed did not do well but we had one of the hottest summers on record and that contributed to a lot of pest and disease control problems. Jeff agreed to replace those at the appropriate time."

"Went above and beyond. They made sure to fix and place sod where the grass was removed for the forms. Cleaned the yard very well after they were done. All the install for a 15x30 stamped concrete patio and a driveway extension done in one day."

"Jose did an excellent job with planting over 20 bushes and shrubs and he leveled the top soil and spread and compacted mulch in my front yard. His prices were very reasonable and I would recommend him again. In fact I have contracted him to build a retainer wall in my back yard."

"Very professional, hardworking and detail oriented. Went above and beyond. Hired their services to clear out a large overrun wooded area with leaves, pine cones and needles, sticks and fallen tries, as well as trim several shrubs and mulch. Cleared everything out of the wooded area quick all while it was raining, making the job much harder. Cut a defined edge around all our flower beds and spread out 13.5 yards of mulch nice and thick, again in the rain. Turned out really well. Highly recommend their services, will use them again for future projects."

"I couldn’t be happier with the transformation of my courtyard! Once I requested a quote, the communication was prompt and an appointment was scheduled within just a few days. The team was knowledgeable, professional, and attentive throughout the entire process. They really listened to my vision for a low-maintenance design, suggesting the perfect combination of easy-care plants and zero-maintenance rock bedding. Jim was especially thorough in ensuring everything met our expectations. When I requested a more mature shrub than the one originally delivered, it was swapped out the very same day. They also checked in throughout the installation to confirm the project was on track with what I had envisioned. Start to finish, this company exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality landscaping services!"

"I highly recommend Corona Landscaping!! They landscaped a large hill on our property (which included installing two sets of stairs), created a paved/brick walkway to match a patio already in place, and installed multiple drain lines to direct water on our property away from the driveway when it rains. Miguel and his crew are very professional, listened to our ideas and made wonderful suggestions regarding our projects. The crew worked continuously from beginning to end of the project until it was completed to our satisfaction. Wonderful experience overall, and will be contacting them for landscaping needs in the future!!"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Charlotte, NC

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.
