"I got the number from my neighbor that had some work done , called them and spoke we Daniel. He was very friendly, asked to get a quote done and we scheduled a time for the visit. Jody(not sure if that is his name) came out and was very friendly and he got the quote done in about 10 mins. I called Daniel back to schedule an appointment and they had a slot for the next day. I asked if we had to be home due to everyone in our household had to work, He asked if he could send his guys out just to go over the job. Jon showed up at the allotted time and he was very friendly as well. I did not meet any of the guys that did the job but they did an amazing job! Cleaned up very well, made sure they did not damage my sprinkler system, or any of my trees. They were working with a very small entry. I would for sure pass along the name of this company. I will be using them again to redo my driveway."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Rathdrum, ID

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.
