"You wonâ t find a more honest, more professional or more skilled excavator/operator than Matt Mello, owner of South Shore excavation. Matt has now done two big jobs for me, the first being to rip out the old floor in our 4-car garage and install a new floor, the second being to dig up/expose and waterproof the garage foundation. In both cases, Mattâ s pricing was extremely fair, he delivered 100% on his promises, finished the work in a timely manner and left an immaculate job site every day. I really canâ t recommend Matt Mello & South Shore Excavation highly enough. If youâ re looking for a true professional who does what he says heâ s going to do, when he says heâ s going to do it, look no further."

"Picturesque Incorporated did an amazing job! Highly recommend using them. Mike is honest and completely reasonable in pricing. He will work with you and your budget in order for you to be happy. He put crushed stone under my deck. I came home and everything looked perfect. He even watered my trees. I have called him multiple times for his insight on landscaping projects, i will be using him very soon again for multiple projects. Thank you Mike!"

"I had contacted Modern Paving to get an estimate on an asphalt driveway to replace my gravel driveway. Sam answered and made arrangements to come and give me the estimate. He was punctual when arrived on the agreed day. He measured the driveway and we discussed the job and agreed on the price. He indicated that if the weather held the job would be completed within the next two weeks. There was an unexpected cancellation and to my surprise I was able to fit into that empty slot. Sam abs his crew showed up and began working immediately. Measurements were taken, the area was marked off and Sam involved me in that process to make sure it was where I wanted. The driveway was graded and raked. When the asphalt arrived the crew worked quickly to spread and compact it. The crew graded a difficult area to help prevent water collecting. The job was completed by mid afternoon and looks absolutely amazing! So happy with the results. Highly recommended"

"Very pleased with the job. The work crew came around 7:30 as promised. The owner was on site the entire time, operating the equipment and directing the work. I spoke with him several times throughout the day as work progressed. John is very experienced, and he answered all of my questions. I selected John Cooper based on reviews and price. I was very happy that he offered to move all of the grass and dirt that he dug up to my back yard garden. His crew loaded their wheel barrow several times doing this, saving me a lot of labor."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Providence, RI

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.
