"Your Denver Metro Construction, (Lucy Hastings) was highly recommended to me by a colleague in the real estate industry. When I contacted Lucy about our concrete job, she responded very quickly and provided me with photos of recent work along with a list of references to contact. That really impressed me, as I've never worked with a contractor who provided that information upfront.

She and I corresponded for about a week discussing the scope of work, and I provided photos and some basic measurements for her to give me a and quot;ballparkand quot; figure for the cost of the job. Once I decided to hire her, she came to the house to see the job in person, take measurements and discuss some of the design elements of the patio and front stoop. Once we finalized our contract, her foreman got started on the work right away, he and his crew had the work done within one week and it turned out very well. As with any project there were a few minor bumps and small delays, but they worked through it, communicated very well and did a fantastic job. I would definitely hire Your Denver Metro Construction again!

"The crew who did the actual work were very professional and responsive. Overall, we are happy with the end result. However, communication with company management to get the job scheduled and finished was difficult. They often didn't call back when they said they would, and we would have to leave additional messages to remind them to call us. In addition, we still don't have a written warranty for the work performed even though we have requested this and been promised a copy several times."

"The kid was late each day he came over. Although he was pleasant, I was not impressed with his overall professionalism. He made a mess, broke the light cover on the ceiling fan, didn't tell me he needed a bulb for the replacement fan, and it took three days to do about 8 hours of work. I was later told that he was leaving the company and that's probably why he wasn't highly motivated. The remaining owner later called me and apologized, but by the time the job was complete (sort of) and I had to finish cleaning up after the guy."

"They paved with heavy equipment normally used for much larger jobs! Most would do it all by hand shovel & compactor. For ~400sf, they graded & paved in just 2 hours."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Silver-plume, CO

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.
