"Excellent customer service, came at all scheduled appointments. Impeccable work ethic and knowledge. John, Mike and Lou are all men of integrity. As contractors you rarely see this today in this industry. Installed a paver walkway and redesigned my entire yard with fresh mulch, perennials and shrubs. I would have appreciated an option to upload photos for you all to see. Will never use another company again for this type of work other than JRM. Do not hesitate to contact them for help. I thank you all very much!! Tony"

"Great company to use for stonework or shed foundations. Mike gave me his insights for a proper walkway. He bulit a fantastic foundation for my new 10x16 shed. Communication as well as cleanup was great. I will attach photos as soon as we clean up our yard from the winter debris to show beautiful walkway that Picturesque built"

"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."

"Excellent top-quality work provided as promised in a very timely and professional manner. Amount charged was exactly as per the written estimate. After our first stucco crack repair project was completed and the decision was made to tackle another phase, we were so comfortable doing business with Adelino that we paid him in full upfront so that we could travel as planned and not worry about sending installment checks. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"

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