"Max was phenomenal. He emailed and came out the same day we requested a quote and gave us an estimate that evening. He also kept us updated, consistently, up until installation day. Beautiful work, definitely recommend."

"Rodney is a Pro that knows what he's doing. He and his crew installed a driveway today and did a fantastic job. He and his crew were friendly and easy to talk with. The price quoted was fair and was exactly what I thought it should be. I had 3 stumps ground out the day before and he cleaned up the shaving and filled the holes for no extra charge. Just did it to be nice. Driveway is great. If you want paving work done, this is the company to call. Great experience."

"After coming to our home promptly to provide an estimate on the job, Mr Castro (logistics/sales) did the measurements and offered some suggestions. We then advised that we were constrained by a budget and time, that we had already spoken to other contractors, but liked potentially what he and his company had to offer, he responded that he would have our estimate/proposal by the end of the business day or early the next. As it turned out we heard nothing. We called him, his office and left a message. Two several days later, and after talking with other contractors, we did talk to Mr Castro and another employee of the company. He apologized and stated that the estimate/proposal was forthcoming. When we finally received it on line it was way above our targeted budget. It was much more than their competitors, but given the information we saw on Angie's List and the glowing reviews, we thought we would try to work something out - even if we had to go above our tight budget - and in light of our time constraints. Mr. Castro, and presumably his superiors, balked at reducing the price. We therefore lowered our expectations as to what we wanted and asked that they recalculate the cost. They seemed to take their sweet time about it. Plus, during subsequent conversations between Mr. Castro and my spouse, it seemed that they weren't particularly interested in our business, once again hesitating to come to a consensus on the final price. We even noticed an authorized change in the type of materials being used ( a difference in the brand/type of pavers to be installed). When we brought it to their attention they made the change but the bid was still too high. We didn't hear from them for about a week or more, by which time we decided to go with a different contractor that was willing to work with us. Given the great rating this company has had in the past I guess it has gotten to the point where they don't need to seek out business that doesn't exactly adhere to price that they set. As it turned out we did go over out budget, but the company we went with took the time to work with us an kept it on budget - and added some extras that they really didn't have to. Good customer relations goes a long way. NO ACTUAL SERVICE WAS PERFORMED OTHER THAN PROVIDING AN ESTIMATE/PROPOSAL.

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in East Chicago, IN

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.
