"Working with BIG SKY GRAVEL AND DIRTWORKS L.L.C was a delight and a very pleasant change, compared to previous work I have had done in the past, with other contractors. BIG SKY GRAVEL AND DIRTWORKS L.L.C was very professional and made sure to discuss the job with me, including specific areas and specific concerns, until the details were thoroughly understood. The quality of the work was superb, leaving me with a great driveway and pad area for a garage. With the portable garage up, the area exactly matches the intended plan for the area. I highly recommend BIG SKY GRAVEL AND DIRTWORKS L.L.C and wouldn't hesitate whatsoever at rehiring them."

"Alex, helped us achieve our dream backyard. He and his work workers took our backyard from an uneven slope space and created my family's favorite space. They installed a retaining wall, added topsoil a new lawn and sprinkler system. They added a outdoor lighting system, added a natural gas line for a fire pit and grill. Installed pavers for a new patio and fire pit area. They added a gazebo with electric heaters. We loved what they did so much, that we have used them for other projects as well. We used them for a new fence and extending our driveway. We have recommended them to our friends and neighbors, and they have all thanked us for the recommendation. Alex and everyone at Soil and Stone are great craftsman, with great attention to detail and customer service. They were attentive and timely throughout the process and helped us to take our vision and turn it into a reality. I would highly recommend them for your projects. We will continue to use them for our future projects."

"I have worked with John and Fernando on 2 separate projects and have been pleased with the results. John is very responsive and did a great job helping me with the design. He did not try to oversell me on things I did not need. The crew did a good job on the install and got both projects done quickly."

"Noa and his crew were on schedule, as they predicted. All were polite, respectful and well qualified in their work. The finished driveway and sidewalk look good, though there is already a hairline crack in one area after a week, hopefully it won't get larger. There was one issue with some damage done to the edge of my garage floor by the demolition process. I sent Noa pictures and asked for his recommendation as to how to best repair the damage. Though he did respond to my emails, he never did make it out to look at the damge or give me any advice. I contacted the original contractor who had installed my expensive floor covering and he came out and fixed the damage. I would use Noa and his crew again but I would spend more time going over the job site and discussing possible problem areas closer."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Tacoma, WA

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.
