"It went well. Tony was very accomodating in helping us pick out pavers, blocks, and rock. He accommodated our budget too. The end result is beautiful--it is both modern and at fits our older house and neighborhood. Tony and the crew were friendly and respectful."

"We had a stone sidewalk through our garden and wanted additional access.  We called Outdoor Concepts - we have used them on 5-6 landscaping projects (both design and installation) over the past 8 years.  Genie's design really enhanced our outdoor spaces.  Joe and his staff are professional, prompt and efficient.  Overall, a great value.  It's a company we trust for quality work."

"The project went very well.  Storm damage caused by two trees coming down on two sides of the fence was repaired in 2-3 hours.  The workers reviewed all needed work from the estimate prior to beginning the work.  They even volunteered to replace a top rail from another section of the fence, not included in the estimate, that had been bent in a storm many years before.   The workers were very thorough, did not damage any plants or grass around the damaged areas and cleaned up after themselves.  The workers were knowledgeable and polite.   They made sure everything was nice and straight!  Everything looked very nice when they were finished.  The workers were approximately an hour late from the start time I had been given.  I called and was told they had gotten a late start.  Their good work made up for the lateness.

"I worked with Tim at Mill City and he was fantastic to work with. Was professional, understood our esthetic and also provided great design ideas. They were great to work with out budget as well. He wasn't the lowest on the estimate but when I looked into the estimate his was more through in terms of thinking about long term stability of the concrete planters etc. I would for sure work with him again. He hadn't pulled the city permit, so the city did leave a note for us, but it was resolved in a timely manner. And he was very responsive."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Rockford, MN

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.
