"They did a great job. They Scraped and removed the grass and leveled out the driveway with the tractor and refreshed the old gravel and deliver 2 loads of gravel and spread it out evenly in our parking area and down the driveway. It was a pleasure working with the owner and the guys that came out."

They went above and beyond my expectations. as a result, I’m going to hire Javier to do additional projects for me as well.

"We are proud to say, we have had the pleasure of dealing with Living Art Water Gardens for the past 15 years. Their professionalism, customer service and visionary designs are remarkable! Unfortunately, 16 years ago Living Art Water Gardens was not available and we went with another company to design and install some water features in an unusable and ugly portion of our yard. The best decision we made, over 15 years ago, was to call the team at Living Art Water Gardens. Over the years, they have worked to correct all the problems we were having; just a few of these problems were the uncontrollable water leaks (causing high water bills), lighting problems, and the ponds always looking dirty. We are happy to say that with their help we have finally turned that unsightly ugly grassy area between us and our neighbor into a beautiful water feature and gardens that we are proud to call our “Water Park”. It takes up about ¼ of our property, efficiently moving about 2500 gph and is a clean year round home to several large Koi and Goldfish. We can enjoyed it from several different angles: the first and second story decks, inside our home, the little covered porch down in the gardens or just walking around the different features. Our friends and family, from the smallest children to the oldest adults, loves to come over and safely enjoy the Water Park year round. Unlike some ponds we have seen, our Water Park comes alive once the sun goes down, the colored lights in the bubbling boulders and the lights inside the ponds are beautiful. Like us, our neighbors love the sights and sounds of the water. Every year we have the team from Living Art Water Gardens come to do a “cleanout” of the Water Park. This includes removal of all the leaves and other debris (that comes with Alabama fall and winter), trimming up the water plants, and keeping the fish healthy and happy. We are very picky and do not want to see any liner or lighting wires – we like the natural/been here forever look. The pride they take in their work and keeping their customers happy shows! Before all the repairs and redesign that Mr Jake Bright (Owner/Designer) made, the cleanout process took a full three days. Now this is an efficient one day process. Just the other night, we had a gathering of friends and family and no one wanted to go inside – we all stayed outside to enjoying the sights and sounds of Water Park until late in the evening. We have proudly recommended Living Art Water Gardens to several family and friends for their landscape needs and none have been disappointed!! If anyone is looking at an uninspired backyard that they would like to turn it into a beautiful “Park” like setting, please giving Living Art Water Gardens a call and let their landscape design visions work for you."

"I had a bad roof leak that got worse fast and called Cobalt because they are near my house.  I got immediate response from Sherrie who called one of her crews off another job to install my tarps the same day before we had a bad storm front move in.  A week or so later I had a new roof and flashing around my chimney installed.  I had gone out for estimates to some other roofers but went with Cobalt due to the immediate and friendly personal service  I would not hesitate to use them again or to recommend to my neighbors and friends.

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Ryland, AL

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.
