"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!"

"The new broken piece was not broken to begin with, and they weren't supposed to install there - let me say again!

update- I am going to take the company up on their offer to fix the entire problem, as it is too much for me. . I will change my review if the correction goes well.

FINAL UPDATE- after trying to fix the mulch myself, I sent 2 messages via Angie's to this company, one with pictures showing how the mulch was installed, and asking to take them up on their offer to correct the problems. We never heard from them, so I had to hire someone else to correct the situation. I stand by my review, glad some people had good experiences but I definitely would not hire them, or purchase a deal for them, again."

"On our initial call we set an appointment for the following week for an estimate. The owner showed up right on time and went over everything needed and gave me an instant price, we scheduled for the next available time. The work team showed up when scheduled and began work immediately, they did a thorough job of removing weeds, etc. exactly as requested. Afterward they installed mulch with the best results I've seen, it all looks very professionally done and should prove maintenance free for a good while. I will definitely call David and his team when we need additional landscape work performed."

"Bill and his team did a great job installing landscape lighting on the front of our house. They also fixed a drainage issue and planted a few bushes for us. Bill provided several recommendations on plants that are low maintenance, disease resistant, and would provide the look that we were aiming for. He is very knowledgeable and it's clear that he has a passion for landscaping. While this type of work can seem expensive, you truly get what you pay for."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Cornelius, 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.
