"Excellent! I can't say enough good things about this project. We live in a 1920 Dutch Colonial, our walkway was falling apart. Miguel gave us samples to look at that would match our front Brick porch. The brickyard he sent us to allowed us to bring samples home to compare. He ordered what we wanted and within 4 days began the project. He came early in the morning and stayed well into the evening and completed the job in 2 days from demolition and removal of the old walk to the installation of the new one. He seeded the lawn that edged it. We selected him because he a patio and driveway and walkway for our nextdoor neighbors. We've lived here since 1974 and people trust the contractors we use. We highly recommend him and we always like to hire local owner operated businesses. For an additional fee he planted 2 trees in the front of the house. We are very satisfied."

"Chris and his crew were excellent. The extent of Chris' knowledge was quite impressive. He made me feel like I was finally in good hands by showing and thoroughly discussing everything he found. During his inspection he checked every possible issue that could be causing the problems. He explained the repair processes necessary and showed me as he was doing them. They were courteous and cleaned up, leaving my property cleaner than when they arrived. They were very polite and more than willing to do whatever was necessary to help me complete the project as I wanted. I can not thank Chris and his team enough and would absolutely recommend their services."

"They came out after buying a great deal thru AL, he was right on time, he walked the site and told me what need it to be done, he advised on some extra work that need it to be done. We agreed he would come back to fix the issues we discussed. The first time someone else showed up on an unmarked van. The van was parked outside my house for sometime and it wasn't until my wife told me there was someone on the roof I realized he was there to do the job. Did not like that there was no communication, I was not told the guy was on his way, the guy did not tell me he was there to do the job or called prior to getting on the roof. It could've been an accident if I thought he was there for other reason.
I also had an issue since they responded to my first inquiry right away but somewhere in between the communication stopped until after the job was done and payment was expected. Again the first guy that came out was great, the guy that came to do the job was good but also told me about other things I did not talk to the first guy about, also promoting his own bussiness, which lead me to believe he was a sub-contractor. 
      I decided to go with them for another job, again quick initial response I was told about a date in which they would come out and ...nothing, 3 weeks later here they come to do the job after I had talked to other companies to do it. Luckily the other companies could not come out until later therefore I allowed the to do the job, plus we decided on a cheaper price. I was home and did not want other guys to try to scare my wife into spending extra on something we may or not need.
     Again seems to be a scheduling/communication problem, the guys seem legit, good price and know what they are doing, but they need to talk to each other (office and site techs) and communicate with the customer.
     I would try them one more time, if any issues then I would have to move on to another company for my roofing needs.

"Greens Excavating & Paving prepped a pole barn pad for me. Few trees had to be cut down, stumped, and removed. Area was graded and stone was put to grade. They handed the job with a professional attitude and completed it in a timely manner."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Nazareth, PA

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.
