"We hired Jason to clear a tree line and regrade a steep hill in our yard. We returned from work as Jason was finishing and my husband and I were both speechless! The clearing and grading was beyond what we could ever imagine it would look like. He went above and beyond with what he removed, cleared and regraded. All brush was neatly piled, as requested, in a convenient location. We are still talking about how impressive it looks and walk down just to see it. We are awe-struck!"

"They came out quickly and gave us an estimate on the spot. We agreed on the job about a week later, and within 2 weeks after that they were able to complete the job. Good communication, they did exactly what we asked. The price was in the same range as others but they offered a longer warranty. We got a signature on the printed estimate upon completion."

"I needed a lot of yard trash removed before my property was sold. They came out, worked hard, and did everything I asked. The new owners "found" more trash, and they went back out and removed that too. They're polite and stick to their estimates. Highly recommended!"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Harrisburg, PA

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.
