"This work took place eleven months ago, but that gives us the ability to say that everything Kurt’s team planted looks great and is growing nicely, except one bush that is struggling, which Kurt agreed to replace without hesitation. We have been in our house for 22 years, and finally got around to replacing the crummy landscaping and walkway the developer put in. Distinct Landscapes installed a paver walkway, and a complete set of bushes, flowers and a crape myrtle tree. The work was done very well and within budget, and the crew distinguished itself by how well they cleaned up the site. The spacing between plantings to allow for future growth seems perfect. Most of all we like Kurt. He is low-key and friendly, offers solid, knowledgeable opinions when asked, and never applies any sort of sales pressure. We would use Distinct Landscapes again, and recommend them without hesitation."

"We had work done on the stone patio around our pool. He also did drainage work around an area of our house that often floods. It has really made an incredible difference! Especially with all the rain we have had this year! I am so grateful to Sal and his workers! I would highly recommend their company!"

"Mulch and trimming were done right away and looked very nice, although some weeds have sprouted up from the mulched area.



Installation of pavers took 3 months to even begin, but it was done in one day. The constant rain played a part for the delay, but I did feel that the project was on the back burner. We wanted the pavers to match the patio pavers in color. We went with his recommendations. The pavers do not match - appear the same color of cement pavement. Upon inquiry, was told that they had heard that a lot and that it will take a few months and color may change. The installation looks great but we are very disappointed with the color and hope it does change to match the patio. I will respond back in a few months and let you know if pavers did change color.

"Great work and service by Eric, Ricardo and the crew. They went above and beyond with fixing the fireplace stone, power washing the patio, installing our grill, running the gas line from the house to the grill, and reporting the patio and stone wall. Highly recommend their service."

"We contracted Ben, the owner of Freestate Tree Service to remove the Silver Maple in our front yard. We used Ben because he did a fine job for us two years ago after we selected his company based on  Angie's List reviews.

The job included tree removal, stump grinding, complete chip/grindings removal, topsoil seed & straw for $1,600. The tree cutting took place in late December, 2015. I paid Ben in full (which included $150 for stump grinding and removal). This was indeed a mistake on my part thinking that he would honorably finish the job! The grinding was subcontracted and took place a couple weeks after that. As an additional service, I contracted with Ben to also split the wood for firewood (which he insisted be a separate cash only service). Even though the yard was basically trashed while he and his crew split the wood, I paid him the agreed amount of $200 for the splitting and even gave him a $50 tip! That same day, I was told by and understood that Freestate would not be responsible for the lawn damage caused from the splitting machines as this was not part of our original contract. I still wanted the grindings removed as originally contracted and paid for. Several weeks of bad weather justifiably prevented him from returning to remove the grindings. We also understood his reasons for additional delays because he was undergoing equipment maintenance. After multiple attempts to schedule with him, he simply returned unexpectedly to my house one day in April and managed to only rake all the grindings back into the stump hole. Not only did he not remove all the grindings, his equipment trashed my yard even more than than he did before! Then he emailed me that this  was my fault as, what he called me, a "misinformed homeowner" for making him come out when we did rather than wait for "the ground to freeze"?! At this point, it will cost me hundreds of $$ to rent the equipment rental needed to remove the grindings that i paid Freestate to remove and repair the damages I was left with. Not to mention that he was paid for a service he didn't provide to satisfaction. He has been ignoring the multiple emails and phone calls from both me and my wife to rectify or remedy this situation. 

if you're looking for simple tree cutting, Ben's your guy. If you want them to follow through with a complete job - forget Freestate and go with somebody else. Such a shame, we wanted this to end well. Live and learn.

"This went to home advisor: Google photos recently sent me images of what we did 1, 2, 3, and 4 years ago etc. It reminded me of when Oscar and his team installed our walkways and patio. We had issues with our old one that needed leveling annually and had puddles after rain storms. The mulch would run off from the flower beds onto the walkways and patio. Weeds were growing from the spaces and needed constant attention. So we had many concerns. Oscar assured us that he and his team had the experience, knowledge and skills to address all our concerns. From our first contact with Oscar, he exhibited a professional and caring attitude, listening to our wants and needs and developing a plan that we loved and a price that was exceptionally competitive. His team were polite and respectful and the yard was cleaned at the end of each day. No surprises! We had interviewed 3 other contractors and were glad we chose Oscar. I am not one to write ongoing reviews but after four years I still get a very satisfying feeling when I look at how well our project turned out and held up. No more wobbling table and chairs, no puddling, and no weeds to deal with! All our needs met. Oscar rocks!"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Manchester, MD

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.
