"Mr. Valasquez gave a quote on installing a complete lawn irrigation system with a rain detector. We hired his company. They did a fantastic job. The job was completed in a timely manner. It is great, not to have to haul the garden hose around the lawn, to water. We highly recommend Valasquez Landscape and give them 5 stars."

"Ulises delivered exactly what I was looking for. He gave a very fair quote, very quickly. He was honest and upfront about any difficulties in the project and there were no hidden fees. I live in a historic home in Golden and he knew all of the historical society rules in addition to local zoning rules. He built a beautiful white picket fence with arbor in the front, a 6 foot privacy fence in the back (with a crazy number of gates), scraped my top-soil with 1000s of weed seeds, and placed 30 cubit yards of compost. This has truly elevated my house, and I can’t wait to do the fun part of planting. He’s also really nice and easy to get along with. I’ll definitely be using him for other projects. Update; then I hired him to install sprinklers, apply flagstone patio, flagstone walkway, and stone firepit with gas line."

"Contractor did an outstanding job on our new deck, much better than the original. Work was done quickly and neatly with a high degree of craftsmanship. We were consulted for all major design and construction decisions, and we are very pleased with the final design itself. The contractor was a pleasure to work with, as were the crew...great bunch of guys who worked very hard and carefully. We would readily use Bromfield again for any other projects."

"The 1st phase is completed with tree and shrub removal plus the horizontal fence is installed to perfection. I can not praise Sean McMahon enough. He took our ideas and built upon them and always checked with us during installation to see if it was to our satisfaction. In fact his crew made an error and he was very fair with us resulting in a nicer looking fence. His crew is polite and hard working. Second phase will start when weather cooperates on running sprinkler system to front, a little grass with xeriscape plus certain shade of rock, mulch, evergreen, shrubs and flowers for front yard. This is not an easy concept to undertake and Sean is very much up for the challenge."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Idledale, CO

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.
