"WCC did a fantastic job, from assessing our landscape curbing needs, to giving us a fair quote, they provided a flawless installation -- they were also always prompt and finished the job on time as promised! We couldn't be more happy with every part of the experience! It was truly a pleasure to have such professionalism and treatment, especially in a world that seems to lack this kind of customer-oriented care all too often. We HIGHLY recommend West Coast Curbing!!!"

"Buying the coupon send email to the company to return a time to get a hold of you.  This took over 3 weeks to be able to even set up an appointment,  That was frustrating.  I called and was told had to go through the email site.  Set up 3 different times and none of those worked for him.  Called again to set the appointment.  They arrived late, but were very clean on doing the job.

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Lake Placid, FL

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.
