"10-06-2023 We cannot speak highly enough about Beausoleil and sons. From Kathy in the office, to Eric whom we dealt with and answered all our questions and all our calls. And the crew that did the driveway were all wonderful. We have a two car wide driveway and it looks beautiful. We have received several compliments. Many thanks to all of you."

"Picturesque Incorporated did an amazing job! Highly recommend using them. Mike is honest and completely reasonable in pricing. He will work with you and your budget in order for you to be happy. He put crushed stone under my deck. I came home and everything looked perfect. He even watered my trees. I have called him multiple times for his insight on landscaping projects, i will be using him very soon again for multiple projects. Thank you Mike!"

"Very pleased with the job. The work crew came around 7:30 as promised. The owner was on site the entire time, operating the equipment and directing the work. I spoke with him several times throughout the day as work progressed. John is very experienced, and he answered all of my questions. I selected John Cooper based on reviews and price. I was very happy that he offered to move all of the grass and dirt that he dug up to my back yard garden. His crew loaded their wheel barrow several times doing this, saving me a lot of labor."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Exeter, RI

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.
