"Bob and his crew were very professional, and I’m very pleased with my new driveway. They were very respectful of my lawn and left everything in good order. They paid close attention to the areas where the asphalt joined my existing concrete and stone planter."

"All-star asphalt installed a gravel driveway extension to an existing asphalt driveway. Very prompt response, stayed within quoted price. 1 day turn around from quote approval, to job completion. Competitive pricing compared to other local asphalt/gravel driveway companies. Would highly recommend their services, and I am considering setting up an appointment for resealing my existing asphalt driveway."

"I needed to put in a concrete barrier. Andrej came by and gave a very low estimate. I was initially concerned about the low bid. I was also concerned about the low scores from other reviewers on Angie's list. I noticed however that many of the reviewers had not actually used Andrej's services and were simply concerned by his low bid or maybe his accent. Who knows. 
Needless to say, I had Andrej complete the work. He did a great job on the concrete. He came back after a couple of days to repair spots in the concrete that I did not notice and did not care if the spots were repaired. Andrej insisted on making the repairs. 
I have used Andrej on second job already. He did a great job on the second concrete project too.

"They did an excellent job and I have no complaints. They gave us an estimate and it cost what the estimate was. There were no extra charges and they came when scheduled. They cleaned up afterwards. We were satisfied with their work. I didn't get any other bids so I don't know how the price compared."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Madison, WI

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.
