"Par 3 landscaping was hired for cleanup and getting rid of weeds in my backyard. I was absolutely amazed at my yard’s transformation. It hasn’t looked that clean in years. I was so happy with the service I hired them again to fix my leaking sprinklers. Everything was fixed and communication throughout the process was amazing. I couldn’t be more satisfied. I highly recommend!!!"

"They do good work. The owner Ric was absolutely wonderful, I consider him as a friend. He's always diligent, on time, responsive, and had great workers. The workers were personable, respectful, and cleaned up after themselves . His pricing is always competitive or better compared to other companies. Ric has a great eye for landscaping and design. In fact, he's gonna do another job he will put fountain in front of my property. It really fits what my wife is looking for."

"It was completed to my satisfaction. Jose came out within half a day, checked everything twice over and as he did not have to charge us for labor or parts, he took a much smaller amount than quoted, which was very fair. I would recommend him and his company."

"They are over the top and wonderful! I have 4 gardeners in six years and apparently I'm pretty picky. So now the key is to work with his wife they are wonderful. I highly recommend them! The customer won't be disappointed with them, very knowledgeable . He came out and fix everything and give open ideas. He came and sprayed my rose and now they're good. My grass was brown and he told that it will be green in three weeks and it did! That was a big deal."

"I wish I had read yelp reviews before I signed up with company.  This being my first time in dealing with contractor, I should have let a person who understand contracts read mine before I signed it.  Things I thought I was purchasing turned out to not be a part of contract.  Example, I wanted pocket doors for bathroom. Contract stated " stall pocket doors".  I thought that meant  purchasing and installing doors were part of contract.  That was not the case.  It meant in addition to what I paid for I  now had to purchase pocket door and frame.  I thought shower fixtures were part of remodel, not in contract so those were items I had to purchase.
New sink and medicine cabinet installed by contractor were new but cheap.  My old sink and cabinet cost more than what was installed.  Sometimes I had to go to home depot with workers to pick up parts for them to do their job.  It took several inspections (2 or 3) for the electrical to pass inspection in the bathroom.  The finished product  was fine but getting there was too much of a problem and to much out of pocket spending.  Trash and debris were hauled away in timely manner.  Workers (C & S) were courteous and professional.  This experience has taught me to let a knowledgable person read contract before I sign one in the future.
I wrote a progress review in September that stated everything was coming along fine.  Soon after that things did not remain fine.  
AGAIN MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THE CONTRACT STATES AND IT IS WHAT YOU EXPECT.

"Our house was broken into the night before we moved in, and there were several minor issues which needed to be fixed. I researched here on Angie's List and Yari had good reviews and was close. I prefer to use local businesses if at all possible. Yariv was polite and nice to work with. He showed up on time and was very matter-of-fact about the job. This was an insurance claim, so I wasn't worried about pricing too much, but it was very reasonable in my opinion. The only problem I had was when the rains came later on and the shed door expanded with humidity. It started to scrape on the bottom. I could have called him back, but decided to fix it myself and it was no problem. I would not hesitate to use him again for general handyman needs. Thanks!"

"It went very well. Everyone was very informative. They kept me up to date with the process and whenever I had a question, they were really prompt with their answers whether by email or phone. They were on time when they say they will begin work and the guys that installed my solar panel and inverters were very clean. I mentioned that I'm very worried about leaks because my son is very sensitive to mold and they made sure to seal everything very well n show us the work they've done and ask if we see anything that needs to be addressed. I was very pleased with the whole process. And it was easy, they took care of everything."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Idyllwild, CA

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.
