"They came on time for the estimate, came back two days later and finished when they said they would. My walk looks like it is new. The color of the grout was matched perfectly. They cleaned up each day and kept me informed. No one could have done a better job. I will absolutely use them again and you can’t go wrong hiring them."

"Cody uses higher quality products than others, so his prices are slightly higher as a result, but really not by much at all. When you consider long term wear and lifetime of the asphalt it will end up saving you money over your lifetime of owning your home, so the 3% upfront is very well worth it. He is a skilled tradesman and does great work, he was efficient and through. I would gladly hire hm again for future resealing or if we were to move."

"This work took place eleven months ago, but that gives us the ability to say that everything Kurt’s team planted looks great and is growing nicely, except one bush that is struggling, which Kurt agreed to replace without hesitation. We have been in our house for 22 years, and finally got around to replacing the crummy landscaping and walkway the developer put in. Distinct Landscapes installed a paver walkway, and a complete set of bushes, flowers and a crape myrtle tree. The work was done very well and within budget, and the crew distinguished itself by how well they cleaned up the site. The spacing between plantings to allow for future growth seems perfect. Most of all we like Kurt. He is low-key and friendly, offers solid, knowledgeable opinions when asked, and never applies any sort of sales pressure. We would use Distinct Landscapes again, and recommend them without hesitation."

"10 of 10. Great company. Delivered what they promised. Best price with quality work. Did entire driveway in one day with large portion excavated. Was nearly half the price of three competitors who provided less guarantee for their work. Will hire to do walkways and backyard. If you fail to look at this company you will throw money away and be frustrated. A+ business."

"Kelly, owner, came to house. Wanted layer of driveway gravel on very long driveway. He measured and examined entire drive for any other needs. The driveway looks great. No gravel in grass areas. He came back the day after to touch-up difficult areas. He does what he says he will do and then some. Very trustworthy. Would hire again in a heartbeat!"

"Our driveway was big enough for 1 car and we wanted it expanded to fit 2 cars plus have a walkway installed connecting the driveway to the main walkway leading up to the house. Tillerman Gardens was recommended to me by a friend. Jesse and his crew were wonderful to work with from start to finish. Jesse was very responsive to my request for an estimate. He patiently listened to what we wanted, asked great questions to get clarity and made some really good suggestions on things we hadn't thought of (i.e. adding river rocks to the grassy part at the edge of the driveway to ease getting in and out by the 2nd car). All the members of his crew were very nice and kept the yard looking clean at the end of each day. Work was done in the timeframe given to us. We are so happy with the end result! Attached are before and after photos. Would definitely hire them again for future projects."

"Highly recommend. These are straightforward, real-deal pros who price fairly to get your work, do it quickly but with thoughtful care, keep you informed throughout the job of any unexpected issues and work with you to resolve them fairly. No surprises, no gimmicks. Just solid old-school work ethic and a quality product. They not only repaved my driveway but protected my trees, improved drainage and added irrigation and lighting capability for future installations. Bravo!"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Gainesville, VA

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.
