"Goodfellows was great to work with!  They were always very responsive and clear in their communication.  The cost was significantly less expensive than other estimates we received.  The work was done on schedule and turned out great in the end, despite running into some unexpected issues due to the need to level out or yard, which was more of a slope than we originally thought.

"Clark Companies of MN did an AMAZING job installing our gravel driveway. They took their time and made sure it was exactly how we wanted it. The guys asked us along the way how we liked it, of course we said we loved it! Weâ ve been living in our new build for about 8 months with use of only half our driveway, Clark Companies of MN came in quickly, reasonably priced and now we can finally use our whole driveway!!"

"Tony built a beautiful limestone wall into a hill at the front of our property. The aesthetic is as good or better than we imagined. He is a kind person to work with and we would hire him again! In fact, he will be coming back in the spring to add new shrubs and grass."

We sat down and planned the work to be done and established the day to begin and how long it would take.  The price was negotiated to mutual satisfaction, and he came in about the middle of estimates provided by four companies.  He assured us that the moving of heavy equipment and large rocks across our back yard could be done with little damage, and that which occurred could be easily repaired.

 















He did the work personally with one other workman on time and with an eye to appearances.  They were courteous and careful.

"Working with Artistic Fence was a great experience.  We needed a fence that could contain a dog that can climb chain link, but didn't want a privacy fence to cut us off from our neighbors.  Amy from Artistic Fence came and looked over our property, talked about our options for our fence, and wrote out a bid right there.  She answered all my questions, and was very helpful and professional.  Their bid came in on the low end of the quotes we got.  Their building timeline was reasonable, even though it was the busy season for new fences, and the folks that came to build the fence where prompt, and impressively efficient.  The fence is exactly what we hoped for, and is beautifully done.  We couldn't be happier with it.  
I really recommend Artistic Fence.

Update: A few months after the fence was installed, a few of the wooden caps that cover the fence posts began to split, assumedly because of water.  I called them, they sent someone out, and replaced the broken parts free of charge under the warranty."

"It got off to a rocky start. I had sent in the contract and my money mid Fall and when the first snowfall occurred they were a no show. So, I called and they eventually got someone out the next day. Okay, I thought, I am a new contract. I must have gotten lost in the shuffle.
On the second snow fall, it was a heavy one over 1/2 foot, it took them 9 hours after the snow stopped to show up and plow my driveway. In essence I was stuck in my home until they arrived which was most of the day. I just didn't find this acceptable.  At the very most 6 hours after the snow stops, and even that is too long. The previous company that plowed my driveway would show up during a heavy snow storm and clear my driveway, and if it kept snowing they returned afterward to clear it again. And this hasn't improved. On average it is taking over 9 hours. On one occasion over 12 hours.
I can understand that being a fixed price contract they cannot just keep coming to my house multiple times for a single snow fall, but I cannot agree that this means I sit in my house over 9+ hours before they show up and clear a heavy snow fall that my car cannot get through.
Another complaint, and this is just about the nature of the contract, is that I signed up for 2" service. Which I thought meant that when I had 2" or more of snow in my driveway that they would come and plow. I was wrong. What I was told was that a single snow storm "event" (their word) has to be 2" or more. So, if it snows less than 2" on multiple occasions in a row and I end up with 4,5 or even 6 inches of snow in my driveway they will not plow it under my contract.
My final complaint is they just aren't doing a quality job. They don't make an effort to get close to the garage to clear it. I understand they don't wanna damage my door, but these guys have hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of experience. You are telling me they can't get closer than three feet? Also, they just don't clear it from side to side. Every time they show up I have to go out with my shovel and shovel down each side of the driveway. If I didn't do this over time my driveway would narrow in size. I don't pay someone to plow my driveway so that I have to come home, or get up in the morning, and shovel it.
In the end I am just not getting the kind of service I expect for the money I am paying. I will be switching to another service for next winter.

Update: I had my asphalt guy out to see if my driveway needed a coating this year and he informed me that there are large gashes in my driveway from a plow truck dropping its plow. Great. I lowered my quality rating to a C."

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