We were alerted of possible delays or changes as needed and the workers were skilled, paid attention to detail and cleaned up after the project was completed. Tom's Paving did excellent work for us. We would hire them again for future projects. Thank you to all who participated!"

"I am a repeat customer with this service provider. Joe from J&J asphalt came to seal my new asphalt driveway and walkway that he replaced and installed early last spring. They also removed and replaced a section of old broken concrete sidewalk too. Joe and the crew have always been professional and courteous. They have shown up at the scheduled time and date and provided the service that we agreed upon. J&J has done quality work at fair and reasonable prices for me. I will use J&J asphalt again. If you are in need of any asphalt or concrete work I recommend that you give Joe at J&J asphalt an opportunity to check out your project needs."

"Triton provided top notch service from the very beginning design layout, through product selection, grading, and installation. Several professional computer enhanced design layouts were provided beforehand in order to assist in our deliberations. Each layout was intended to remain within the budget we provided. Although heavy rains caused a delay in our patio install, Triton worked with us to support our required end date in order to accommodate a large planned outdoor gathering. They easily absorbed several design changes we made and quickly provided us with the overall effect on cost. They even modified our contract to mulch our gardens. Installation crews were professional, fast, courteous, and cleaned up behind themselves. Overall, I would highly recommend them for similar work."

"It went great! ​The Clark team is fantastic! I could only find one company to install my wood burning fireplace incert but they quoted me more than double the price. I was so happy to hear about Clark Chimney & Madonry, they did a great job for less than half price. Chris was very professional, and efficient and his team were great! Thank you"

"Anthony and his team have been awesome. We found them on Angie's List this past fall and haven't looked back. First we had them help with leaf clean-up and some fall pruning and plantings. During that project we talked about holiday decorating and Anthony was great about helping plan. He and his crew tackled the job enthusiastically and pulled off a lighting array we could never have done ourselves. To their credit, they worked some long hours in some very inclement weather - they were determined to get us ready for the holiday in advance of their committed date. When's the last time any contractor got done early?!! These guys did! So you can understand that when we needed help with all the snow this winter, Anthony was our go-to guy. While we chose to manage a few snow falls ourselves, Anthony did the heavy lifting and was always available when we really needed him. During one of our many overnight snowfalls, my wife woke up in the morning, looked out the window, and told me...hey there must have been elves here, your sidewalks and driveway are all clear. These guys are just awesome. One of the things I like best is the great communications - we never wonder what's happening because we're kept well informed. We're looking forward to having their help this Spring. We're planning some work we've been putting off for years because we've found THE right contractor for us! And if you live in the NorthEast, you know Spring can't get here soon enough... Thanks Creative Lawn Care and Landscaping!

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Reading, PA

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.
