"The folks who actually contracted to do the work, same phone number, was iNCRETEABLE. After receiving the quote and HOA approval a date was scheduled about 2 weeks out that met both of our timetables. The guys showed up on time at required date and went to work power stripping my well worn driveway. The second step way a base coat followed by antique highlighting and finally sealed with a solvent based clear coat with anti-slip additive. The whole project took a full two days with an additional three days to allow the top coat to fully cure before car traffic. Outcome was amazing (see photo) and their efforts and workmanship was excellent. They will follow-up in one year to see if an additional clear coat might be needed. Completely recommend based on final outcome. If your looking to make a tired stained or painted look like new then start with these guys."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Sanibel, FL

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.
