"It's been so frustrating finding quality home repair professionals. I had a leak develop in my roof that went into my second bedroom. I called a total of 22 roofing companies. Some never called back, some were too busy, some agreed to call me back but never did, others agreed to show up and never did or wanted to charge $150 service fee for an estimate. Luckily, I found this company. Not only did the owner answer the phone and was professional and friendly, he came out the next day AND WAS ON TIME!! He listened to my concerns and immediately examined my roof. He explained everything to me as to what happened and why. Gave me a reasonable quote and said he'd be to my house Tuesday. Lo and behold, he came a day early and repaired my roof. He advised, after I asked , to give it a couple really hard rains before repairing my interior. Well, I've been through two heavy soaking rains, and just had a three inch rain from a tropical storm. My roof is officially fixed! I am so happy that I've found this company. I will be hiring them again to do drywall repair and whatever else I need. I've already shared this company's information with all of my local friends that are looking for estimates. Professional and gets the work done!!"

"We are in the process of building a home in Powhatan, VA. We recently had the best professional experience with Bobby from Coastal Landscape Construction! This was not an easy job to clear about 2 acres, put in a long drive way and work in challenging cold and wet weather. Bobby is an up and coming young professional and knows exactly how to plan and achieve the end goal. Bobby was always on time, communicated daily and effectively, planned the land clearing perfectly and his prices are competitive but extremely reasonable. If you want or need any construction work completed right, you MUST use Bobby from Coastal Landscape Construction! Bobby earned a 10/10 perfect review from us and we will be using him again during our home building process! His business phone number is 804-441-1768, serving Powhatan, Midlothian and Richmond VA area."

"I would strongly recommend AW Masonry to anyone with a large concrete job. Alan (proprietor) showed close attention to detail. Coordinated smoothly with gravel and concrete deliveries. He and his team produced an excellent surfaced foundation. Very happy."

"I contacted Austin about clearing some property for a new garage I was building. The same day I contacted him he came out to look at my project. We discussed the plan and he quoted me a great price. Soon after, he started on the work and did an excellent job clearing the trees, shrubs and stumps from the area. Once clearing was completed, he leveled the area and then, dumped gravel to make a solid foundation for my concrete pad. Austin had some great suggestions like using #3 gravel then 57’s on top to prevent the pad from sinking into the ground. I’m highly pleased with the outcome of his work and will continue to hire him for more jobs in the future."

"The quote was significanltly less than others. When he came to do estimate, Mr. Bevan brought with him an example of a paver so I could see what we were dealing with. After I gave deposit, I heard nothing for about 2 1/2 weeks, but then got word they'd arrive. The work was done efficiently and very well. No problems or complaints. My new driveway is beautiful and every time I drive out I'm happy!"

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Richmond, VA

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.
