"Bill called me almost immediately, and even though he was considerably distant from my house, he was still willing to make the long drive to get my sprinkler system repaired. Would definitely recommend based on customer service level I received."

"Summit Land Development delivered! Scott and his team did a terrific job on our parking area and driveway. The work was done as agreed. The team was respectful of our property, very friendly, extremely qualified, and a pleasure to have on our project. The quoted price was very fair and all potential changes to scope were discussed and quoted - refreshing to have a contractor give you a quote and stick to it. Highly recommend Summit Land Development and if we have another need for their services they're the first company we'll contact"

"Great experience with Cogdill Landscaping. They installed a block border around front garden beds and three bushes. The border looks great! They did a lovely job with curves in the border at each end. They were reliable, pleasant, and quite reasonable in price."

I needed Joe and his son Tony on two occasions over the past two months.  Each time, I was met with friendly, on time service and very fair pricing.  Joe is very conscientious about doing a good job, and I like the chemistry he and his son have.  They work well together, fast and efficient.

Joe takes great pride in his work.  Of course, I'm in a rush to get things done, but after a particularly rainy weekend, Joe completed half my job one day and recommended that I wait two more days to let the bricks dry out as the humidity and moisture in the bricks were making the job look presentable but not right.  Joe wanted to do it right, which I respect.

I would use Brick Solutions again and again, and I would have no problem referring them to anyone else.

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Franklin, NC

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.
