"I wanted to wait a bit before reviewing to see how the material has held up and it's been fantastic. LT repaired our flood damaged driveway with TxDOT quality gravel base vs. just junk like some fly-by-night firms. We've had heavy rains in the two weeks since and the base has been almost as firm and dense as concrete! The best thing is the fact that Tim and his brother Ray both are excellent communicators- you are never left wondering about anything. They also discuss the project first and then have a professional final scope of work agreement that you don't sign or pay until then. That tells anyone that they have great relationships with their material providers. They were on time, even with challenging conditions. I AM bringing them back to do our concrete driveway once we get some other key work done."

"The owner, Jose, was great. He is professional, friendly, and kept us in the loop about what was going on. The work was done super fast and the price he quoted was almost half the price of the other quote I received. I recommend The Ranches Landscaping very highly."

"The first crew that came out did a better job than the second crew. The first put the grass back nicely and really patted it in. The second crew listened to where we wanted the opening to be in the yard but they really did not pat the grass down as well as the first crew. The second crew also did not put the opening in the yard so it would be even - one side was higher than the other. Overall, we would use them again if needed."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Indianapolis, IN

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.
