"Nathan from The Gravel Doctor called me promptly within an hour of when I sent the inquiry through Homeadvisor. He asked me questions about the job to verify my request information and clarify what I needed done. He explained how he would prepare the site and complete the job. He provided an estimate, too. Nathan sourced the rock for the job and called me back promptly. He had also checked the weather to ensure time to complete the job. We agreed on Monday. He gave me a time he would be there, and he was there on the dot. He arrived on the dot. Nathan even removed two additional foundation chunks to improve the site before grading it and laying down the ground fabric. He filled, graded, and packed the new gravel parking area. The rock supplier had delivered extra rock. Nathan asked where I wanted the extra rock. He cut additional ground fabric and extended the parking area, blending in the extension seamlessly. He left the job site neat and clean. I am very happy with the new parking area. That area is now an asset instead of an eyesore. The gravel is tightly packed and shows no sign of tire tracks or indentations when we park or drive on the new gravel. I give my highest recommendation for The Gravel Doctor!"

No job is too big or too Small, I can get the job done. I recently graduated from Illinois State University with a degree in History and Political Science, but this is the work I enjoy doing. I have had my business for 3 years now and now that I am done with school I am ready to grow it bigger. I have done just about everything but I primarily focus on work outside around the yard during the summer.

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Pontiac, IL

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.
