Customers say: True professional

"I did my due diligence and obtained multiple quotes for sod installation. Chris with Doctor Landscaping gave a very reasonable quote. By comparison, it was a rather small job (1350 sq ft), but Chris treated it like a larger one. Excellent customer service, very responsive, and kept me informed during each stage of the project. Showed up for the estimate and the job when he said he would, and finished the job even sooner than my expectations. I'm happy with his work and would highly recommend him for any of your landscaping needs. Good price, good work, and even better customer service. You'll be glad you chose this 'doctor'.."

"A++++ I am an older person and it has been a minute since I’ve experienced great workmanship. My yard looks 100% better and the attention to detail from both gentlemen was outstanding. How refreshing to see and receive great work! 6 yards of mulch was a lot of work."

"I needed some new plants put in my flower beds, some dead shrubs replaced, as well as general maintenance and mulching. I found Zach at Creative to be very helpful and knowledgeable. His crew was efficient and did a good job. We walked the project upon completion and Zach did things on his own to make certain I was happy with the work. I would recommend Creative for your landscaping needs."

"Dan and his team were fast and reliable, but most notably, Dan was very collaborative and helpful when discussing the project. His experienced advice at the start meant that the result was better than my original plan. The project was creating a road with switchbacks on steep, forested land."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Oakland, TN

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.
