"Jason and team removed existing and broken aggregate concrete driveway and laid down asphalt. They came on time and finished when they said they would. They had serious construction equipment that didn't never touched my house or a sprinkler head right next to the driveway. Excellent job."

"Justin came to my home and gave me an estimate for my very long (1/3 mile) driveway. Three days later the job was complete! 100 tons of #57 gravel delivered and spread in one day. Wonderful job! The equipment they own is first rate. The crew is the best. Very professional, polite, accommodating and most of all, they know how to do the job. You will not be disappointed if you hire Justin and his crew. I am sure they will exceed your expectations."

"Bill explained the job from start to finish, and we made some changes during the project. The additional expense for the change was reasonable and in line with his original bid which was lower than 3 other contractors. We had some weather affect the completion of the job, but when it was clear and warm enough they were on the project. There was a challenging angle that some steps met our paved driveway, and they matched that angle perfectly. 
Very pleased with the project and highly recommend them for anyone having patio/driveway work done.

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