"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."

"Although Jason had some difficulty in getting started due to weather and illness, once he committed to the project, he showed up when he said he would and worked side by side with his men. They were very nice guys and Jason was great in giving me advice about plants, grass seed, mulching and answering all of my questions.
I will be using him again in the future and highly recommend him.

"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.
