"Alex is great. He came out, listened to my ideas for water mitigation (it was flowing into my garage), and then came up with the best solution. It is easy to get ignored, patronized to or otherwise ripped off when you are a woman alone maintaining a home. Alex did none of this. He was up and up and did precisely what he said he would do. Said he would contact me the next day, did it. Said he would finish the job in a few hours, did it. I will definitely contact him for more work when the time comes. The dry well itself remains to be tested by Mother Nature, but I cannot imagine it doing anything other than what it is meant to do. Alex also made sure the site was clean and tidied everything up when done. Cannot recommend enough."

"We had several wide and narrow cracks in a 15 year old driveway, which they filled and sealed neatly. The seal coat material was put down in a clean and professional manner. There was no splash or spill on the surrounding concrete garage aprons or stone block, or on the grass. They left no footprints in the seal coat and took away all debris. Just a really clean job. We had an issue with an unexpected storm washing away some uncured material in a small heavily shaded area a couple of days later. They came back and recoated the area. The job came out great. The company is responsive to phone and text messages, and they arrive on time. Overall a good experience."

"Chris was wonderful. He completed the work promptly and the quality of the work was perfect. Removed all of the dirt and regraded the ground to ready it for future seeding. This was a messy job that was a lot of hard work and his team excelled. Recommend him highly"

"CH Paving was professional timely and did a great job paving our old eroded gravel driveway that went up a hill. They did extensive grading and the driveway came out with excellent quality. Price was fair for the work done and they were responsive and highly competent in their work. I would definitely hire them again."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Somerset, NJ

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.
