"Silly me forgot to winterize my pipes until the January freeze came around. Troy sent his team over within 24 hours of me calling, happy to try their best and help as quickly as possible. They were able to complete the job despite the already low temperatures. So happy they were able to come so quickly during when most companies were on their New Years break. Will use for all my irrigation needs going forward!"

"I will be objective and rate Tim's services as a C. He did A quality work for us last year. He's a good guy and a hard worker. He mentioned several times last year that he did more than just mow lawns, so before mowing season this year, I offered him some handyman work we needed done...~$1,200.00 worth. Heard back once and when it came time to schedule, crickets. Then I told him we'd love him to start mowing soon and he set up an appointment for Monday (1 APR). No text, no call, no show. He will do good work for you if he responds or shows up for appointments. That is guaranteed. I personally don't have the patience for unprofessionalism though."

"Quick estimate and fast work. Was very professional from start to finish. High quality work at an affordable price. Highly recommend Philip. This was a mess I dealt with for years and had contacted numerous folks for help. People don't show up, get overwhelmed and don't call back with an estimate or try to rip off a single female. Philip was amazing and I'm so thankful to have found him. Update: Most of the work was done as per the contract minus a few little things that I questioned but decided to let go....such as the top of the retaining wall having a thick layer of dirt so plant things....and it was mulched instead. The mulch was thin and a few inches of digging you run into the concrete blocks and aren't able to plant much at all. I've had about half of the plants die that we tried to plant. I began having issues with the work soon thereafter it was completed. Water was still a major issue and his solutions did not work. I contacted him several times asking for repairs to be made on pipes that are coming out of the ground that were supposed to be buried. He has made two unannounced trips to my house which has a locked privacy fence so he couldn't properly evaluate or fix anything. He tried to get the Metro Parks to fix some issues he found which I had previous stated the Parks were not willing to fix and knew about. I thanked him for visiting but asked for help from HIM on his part. He stated that he was still thinking about how to fix the problem. It's been over a year and nothing has been fixed. He has never scheduled a time to come look at the yard or do work. I continue to have a messy muddy backyard. He has a two year warranty on his work but it's not being held up. He made a few emails and phone calls to apologize. I asked him to please give me some money back if he didn't know how to fix this like he thought he could and he has not replied. I think over a year is unreasonable and I have been more than patient. Some of the work is still fine, the gutters and drain spouts are good. The retaining wall itself is well made. The beginning to the end of the project was fine. It's just getting him to do the work on the 2 year warranty for things that aren't working or are coming apart. I believe he may have more than he can handle or perhaps doesn't know how to fix it but isn't willing to give any money back to find someone to fix it."

"I choose Landscape Creation company because of the good reviews. Jason and I have been talking about this project since second part of 2012, by the end of August 2013 we finally started the project. Due to the steep slop, the removal of the old railroad ties took longer then we expected. The stone path started from the first batch of stone delivered, the work went well but slow. His crews need to move each stone manually down hill about 150 feet to start. The project was delayed for three weeks (9/20 to 10/10), Jason's crews did not show up and I was calling and text Jason from time to time.He had problem with the stone vender with batch delivery also it had been raining a lot.  By Oct 17, the stone path was done, Jason's crew was able to replace two of the stones that I pointed out too small in size . As planed, on the side of the path, he also did a flat seating area.
Jason and his crews created a stone fire pit with five huge stone seat, and that looks real nice. He also build a stone bridge which lead to the fire pit over the ditch with details.
The whole project finished by the end of October. It took much longer then was scheduled, due to the weather, the stone vender and his personal issues, but over all, I am happy with the work been done consider that this was not an easy project.

"After a very heavy storm, our gravel driveway was a washout mess!!  I contacted "Two Men and a Tractor" (Jerry and Tim), who promptly came by and assessed what was causing the damage. They also offered solutions in which to PREVENT future destruction of our yard and driveway. WOW!  They gave me a fair estimate and showed up on the time agreed upon to start the project.  Jerry ordered the materials needed and Tim the tractor operator worked tirelessly and completed the job to our satisfaction. I would hire this team again without reservations for other major projects.  These gentlemen are professional, courteous, honest and will do what they say they will do while completing your  project in a satisfactory time frame. This company also does lawn beautification, maintenance and landscape. Thanks guys for doing an excellent job!"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Old Hickory, 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.
