"I highly recommend R & R Solutions. Having found myself unable to afford various $100-$160K Landscape company proposals for my new home landscaping project, my search eventually led me to Jared of R & R Solutions. Jared promptly met with me to discuss my project and he responded with a very affordable quote for his skid steer placement of 15 truckloads of fill and 8 truckloads of gravel to provide the grade and base I wanted as preparation for 2200 sq feet of pavers and associated other landscaping. Via his business contacts he obtained the 15 loads of fill at perhaps 1/2 the cost of other sources. My project vision included several very specific requirements and in fact my ideas were expanded upon well beyond my vision. Jared is professional and very conscientious. His skill with the skid steer and his expertise in bringing a landscaping vision to life are amazing. I am now in a perfect position to proceed with the completion of my new landscape and thanks to R & R Solutions I have achieved this at a fraction of the cost offered by other companies."

"Mr. Valasquez gave a quote on installing a complete lawn irrigation system with a rain detector. We hired his company. They did a fantastic job. The job was completed in a timely manner. It is great, not to have to haul the garden hose around the lawn, to water. We highly recommend Valasquez Landscape and give them 5 stars."

"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 Simla, 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.
