"Geovanny, Edgar and the whole team removed outdated landscaping, greatly improved existing retaining walls, graded the soil and prepared my front yard for new vegetation installation in the spring. They did a beautiful job and kept me informed as they performed the work. Theyâ re hardworking and courteous team made my front yard look clean and contemporary even before adding new plants and flowers. Iâ m looking forward to them coming back in April to do the installation, and I recommend them highly!"

"Wonderful. Henry and his crew were on time. Always answered my calls or returned very quickly. Gave me great ideas which turned out to be the best. He did all the plantings/irrigation and install. I would use him again. I now am thinking of a new project."

"David is incredibly professional, reached out right away and did an estimate for us. Although we knew we needed to start with a retaining wall and re-grading of our backyard, we figured we would be doing our backyard over haul in phases (construction, rock install, irrigation system and sod, etc). That changed once we saw how meticulous, thoughtful and professional his work was, he earned all of our business and we ended up completing our whole job with him. He has helped work within our budget and timeline to transform our backyard from a dirt and rock hill to a yard for our son. He has a great team that works hard, right next to him. Always early to the site, perfect communication, clean and respectful of property. Not only will we use him for future projects but we have and will continue to refer him to friends and neighbors. We are beyond satisfied."

"We recently had BCT Asphalt Paving work on our driveway, and the whole experience was excellent from beginning to end. The crew showed up on time, worked hard, and paid attention to the details. Brandon was respectful, friendly, and easy to work with. The new asphalt looks great, and they made sure everything was cleaned up when the job was finished. Very happy with the quality of the work."

"Overall, I am very pleased with the work Gabrielâ s folks did. The chain link fence they installed is of noticeably better quality than the fence they replaced. The wood fence was also well done, and the new doors they built are very nice. So, if I liked them so much why didnâ t I give then 5 stars? They didnâ t clean up the dirt removed from the post holes. If they had done that the job would have been perfect. I definitely recommend Gabriel and his folks."

"Valentine and his crew at Brilliant Landscaping did an excellent job! From the initial call all the way up until today (2 months post job completion) he has been very responsive when I have contacted him. The backyard in a home we recently purchased had been neglected for well over a decade. Brilliant Landscaping did a superb job giving it a facelift. They listened to what we wanted completed, and offered suggestions how our ideas could be improved. However, Valentine was always willing to do as we asked even if it went against his suggestion. Honesty is clearly an important part of his company. Below is a list of all the work completed. Removal of old fence and installation of new cedar fence. Removal of retaining wall and surface rock. Removal of 7 trees. Poured a concrete patio. Removal and rebuild of retaining wall stones. Installation of a new 6 zone irrigation system. Adding of fill dirt and grading. Laying down new river rock. Laying down new sod. Brilliant Landscaping was referred to me by another landscape contractor who was booked out for the rest of the year. They had high praise for Valentine and his company. I too feel the same way."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Denver, CO

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.
