"This spring we were in search of a company to pour a concrete patio as we were removing our old floating deck. We came across Clark Companies at the White Bear Home Show @ The Hippodrome. They followed up promptly afterwards and set a time to come out for a quote. They answered all our questions and helped us envision what it could look like. They were the only company we had out that actually cared (the others you probably hear advertised all the time). If you're here because you are researching them you can see they do this all the time and they do it well. They gave us many options to choose from for the patio & other items to complete the project (I.e stairs or grass seed). During the installation they were very professional and consulted with us along the way to make sure we were happy before all was said and done. Thank you Clark Companies! We look forward to enjoying our new space for years to come!"

"It went well. Tony was very accomodating in helping us pick out pavers, blocks, and rock. He accommodated our budget too. The end result is beautiful--it is both modern and at fits our older house and neighborhood. Tony and the crew were friendly and respectful."

"Our initial interaction with Artistic Fence was great. Amy from Artistic Fence sent us an initial estimate on April 14, and work was completed the first couple weeks of May. The fence builders were pleasant and professional. Artistic Fence covered the fence with a five-year warranty.

By June, we noticed protruding nails and splitting boards on our street-side privacy fence. We also noticed that one of the posts on the new gate was cracking. I emailed Amy about it on June 12. She replied on June 14 and said that someone would stop by to repair it. We were planning to get the fence painted with our house, so we were anxious for it to be repaired beforehand.

The fence hadn't been repaired by July 29, when we emailed Amy again. She replied on August 1, "I do not believe anyone has been out to take a look yet. I am sorry about that, I will push to find out when someone will be there and will let you know." Fast-forward to September, when the fence still hadn't been repaired. We emailed Amy on Sept. 12: "We haven't heard anything from you about this yet. When can someone take a look at the fence? We are hoping to have it clear coated late September."

This time, we didn't receive a reply until we emailed Artistic Fence again on Sept. 29. Amy replied, "I passed you email on to everyone in our office and Joe responded that he I fixed all the boards about two or three months ago and did not see the post. If you like, why don't we set up a time to meet and go over where you see there is still a repair to be done."

After receiving Amy's message, we looked at the street-side privacy fence and saw that it had indeed been repaired. However, we had been keeping an eye on it over the summer and do not believe that it had actually been repaired two or three months earlier. The gate post still needed repair. In addition, there was a new issue: One of the new boards was not completely nailed down, and so it started separating from the rest of the fence.

Artistic Fence sent someone to repair the on Oct. 12, and the board was nailed down on Oct. 14. We had been delaying painting the house until the fence was ready, so we were finally able to proceed ? just in time to beat winter. We do love the finished product, but the lack of follow-up over the course of four months was deeply disappointing."

"The lawn is always edged and weed-whacked, and they get right up close to things like inset flower beds.  I have on occasion when the grass is very long had grass left on the lawn, but that's not a huge deal to me.
Their plowing is good, if I'm home when they come, the driver will clear behind my car, then I will back out and he will clear the entire driveway right up to the garage door.  If I'm not home, he still clears as close to my car as possible and the whole width of the driveway.  I've never asked nor expected them to come back after the city plows go by,   If one time my car was there and the next time I'm home he'll make sure to get all the snow he couldn't get to before.

"Nate from Handyman Connection of Eden Prairie was incredibly refreshing to work with. He was very professional, reliable, fair, and efficient in communicating from the start of the job to the end. The quality of work and attention to detail was outstanding, something that is very hard to find these days unfortunately. I am already under contract for him to build our deck and help finish the basement next year. 10 out of 10!"

"The project went very well and was accomplished in about a week. Tim managed to fit my project into a tight schedule. I'm very happy with the results and have had many compliments from neighbors and relatives on the project. I'd certainly hire these guys again if I had any more concrete work to be done."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Crystal-bay, MN

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.
