"A soft wall due to improperly installed gutter by some other entity or homeowner caused water to constantly leak into the wall from the exterior roofline. This soft wall grow moldy and become riddled with pests/bugs. The contractor identified the potential issues, agreed to explore and open the walls and discuss the conditions, made sound recommendations for repair and did exactly what was noted in the repair (replaced a load bearing exterior wall, fixed the sill plate, completed the roof, shingles etc. and closed up the walls on the inside with insulation and sheet rock.). The work was timely, well done, the workers were clean as they did the job and kept the rest of the property clean. The manager of the job David Apel was and is an excellent communicator with phone/email/text and photos of processes and progress. I am going to use this company in my own investment endeavors on other properties and projects given the level of finished work, the timing and especially the level of detailed communication."

"Jeff repaired/ rebuilt our crumbling lake wall.Over a 4 day period he rebuilt our wall from lake bottom up using no mortar & fitted the stones to give a natural but safe border to our yard. Even put in a set of natural stone stairs so our older dog could safely access the lake. Jeff works hard & takes pride in his work & price was reasonable as well. We are very happy we went with AJ&J Excavating !"

"Great crew! Charles was great to work with from planning to quoting to scheduling. He was very responsive and positive at every step of the way. His crew took great care to do quality work. An interesting issue that came up was they received gravel that was not the right color. After they did the agreed-upon job, they came back the next day AFTER another job and spread an additional layer of the right color gravel late into the night to make sure the job was done, and done right. Really great experience!"

"Chad was great! He came on time, worked straight through until the job was complete, and then stayed to discuss questions I had about my backyard (also needs work). The work he did was excellent and my front lawn looks wonderful. Aside from his professionalism, he's just a really nice guy and a pleasure to do business with!"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Columbia, CT

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.
