"As long as Nathan (the owner) was there, things went pretty well.  When he was gone his workers tended to try and take a lot of shortcuts in hopes they wouldn't be noticed.  Just a matter of pointing out the shortcuts to Nathan and having his crew do it right.  Somewhat typical I'd say of most hired hands in this sort of business.
They removed the decades-old azaleas and monkey grass and replanted various new shrubs.  In a perfect world the landscape designer would engineer a drawing and go from there.  I didn't see the need for that so we just sketched some stuff out and went for it.  In the end, I think we got just as good a product by winging it and letting Nathan make some on-the-fly decisions than we would have if we'd spend the money on some fancy drawings that probably would have gotten changed during the installation anyway.  Nathan's group brought in some hardscape which I think they did a really nice job installing and blending in.  As will all landscaping it is sort of designed to be sparse since it is supposed to grow together over the years.  So it looks a little thin now, but it'll be just fine in a few years.
This is purely my opinion, but I think they may have mixed in a little too much fertilizer/manure when they reworked the soil.  A lot of the plants exhibited some burning rather quickly which makes me think they got some root burn. They all are coming out of it, but there was definitely a pull-back on 90% of the landscaping within the first couple of weeks.  But that appears to have halted and I'm seeing some new growth appear from the soil upwards.  I would say it is more than just transplant shock.
Nathan cut me a deal since I waited until the end of summer when his business drops off rather than trying to get something done in the spring when he is swamped.  Landscaping is just expensive no matter what.  I'd use Bluum/Nathan again if I had the need to.  On the communications side, I'd say he communicates better than most contractors which is something I always appreciate.

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Skiatook, OK

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.
