"Giovanni, Alberto and their crew are just amazing!! Our backyard landscape timber retaining wall was rotting and we wanted to extend it to create a planting space. Also our paver patio was a mess with pavers sinking etc. Also we needed an huge old stump taken out to make room for the extended retaining wall. They did an amazing, beautiful job!! They were very responsive to my questions and to my add-on requests. I can't say enough good things about them!! I highly recommend them. Very fast, hard workers who know a lot about what they are doing. Giovanni suggested adding a different color paver to make the patio more striking and he was right!"

"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."

"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."

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.
