"My old chimney required a lot of work. The owner made sure the job was done right. I am very satisfied, and believe I got my moneyâ s worth. Both the owner and his crew were very polite and respectful, and cleaned up their work area well before leaving. The repaired chimney looks good."

"I have been affiliated with the construction business for over 25 years. I took bids to seal cracks and to seal coat my driveway. I tried to find out the products they used and their process. I threw out the lowest bid because they were not going to seal the cracks with anything special. They claimed it would not stay and that the seal coat would take care of the problem. Two contractors never showed up to give me an estimate. Scratch those two. Although Vincent Davis's bid was the highest, I selected him because he was going to use what I felt was the best product out there, and he was going to seal all the cracks (which were numerous along the edges of the driveway). He explained that he was going to burn in the crack sealer which I liked. I felt comfortable that Vincent was not going to dilute his products which some businesses do. Remember the deal with Indiana going after contractors for using sub-standard asphalt on our roads? I also liked the fact that when I informed Vincent that he was the highest bid, he did not offer to cut his price to get the job. That convinced me to use him. Quality products and quality workmanship is what I wanted. Pay now, or pay later. An asphalt driveway is expensive to replace. Vincent also guaranteed his work for 4 years. I have used cheap contractors in the past and it always came back to haunt me. The condition of my driveway before Vincent sealed it was proof of that."

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