"T-Rex turned our nearly impassable, pothole ridden private road into a smooth, completely repaired roadway. Working with T-Rex was great, 0scar is very personable and professional, he gave us several options and prices to choose from, and performed meticulous work. We and our neighbors are very pleased with performance and price. Will definitely recommend T-Rex Excavating to others and work with them again for any future needs. Thank you Oscar!"

"Large landscaping garden. They also put in a gravel driveway around my garage. Added two driveway extensions for my extra vehicles. Then added a long extension to park my Semi on to stay out of the street. Also put down a large excellent base for my new Lawn Shed. Plus, a large rock base around a tree on a hill so I no longer have to mow it and now the growth doesnâ t block my view when pulling out on to a four lane highway. Removed a couple of large and annoying tree stumps. . Everything was fairly priced and done in a timely fashion. They will always be my FIRST CALL!!!"

"One of the few people in the area to install dry wells. Stopping my back yard from flooding has reduced so many other problems I was having with my foundation and water coming into the house. They did such a good job I hired them for concrete work also."

"Kirt did a great job. He figured out how to straighten out the kitchen floor. Can't tell there was ever a hump there. Kirt and his partner showed up every day on time. Started the job when he said he would and kept the cost to the estimate. I was kept informed of what they were doing and how they were going to do it the entire way. They ran a couple days over the estimated time but they stayed here til it was finished. I love the job they did. My kitchen and bath look great

"This company is amazing, they did a great job cleaning my lawn and did such a great job spreading gravel along the creek on my back yard. Last but not least they did a new retaining wall to have a better view of the back yard. I would recommend this company to any of my friends and family. They are very professional in what they do."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Clare, IL

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.
