"They are over the top and wonderful! I have 4 gardeners in six years and apparently I'm pretty picky. So now the key is to work with his wife they are wonderful. I highly recommend them! The customer won't be disappointed with them, very knowledgeable . He came out and fix everything and give open ideas. He came and sprayed my rose and now they're good. My grass was brown and he told that it will be green in three weeks and it did! That was a big deal."

"I wish I had read yelp reviews before I signed up with company.  This being my first time in dealing with contractor, I should have let a person who understand contracts read mine before I signed it.  Things I thought I was purchasing turned out to not be a part of contract.  Example, I wanted pocket doors for bathroom. Contract stated " stall pocket doors".  I thought that meant  purchasing and installing doors were part of contract.  That was not the case.  It meant in addition to what I paid for I  now had to purchase pocket door and frame.  I thought shower fixtures were part of remodel, not in contract so those were items I had to purchase.
New sink and medicine cabinet installed by contractor were new but cheap.  My old sink and cabinet cost more than what was installed.  Sometimes I had to go to home depot with workers to pick up parts for them to do their job.  It took several inspections (2 or 3) for the electrical to pass inspection in the bathroom.  The finished product  was fine but getting there was too much of a problem and to much out of pocket spending.  Trash and debris were hauled away in timely manner.  Workers (C & S) were courteous and professional.  This experience has taught me to let a knowledgable person read contract before I sign one in the future.
I wrote a progress review in September that stated everything was coming along fine.  Soon after that things did not remain fine.  
AGAIN MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THE CONTRACT STATES AND IT IS WHAT YOU EXPECT.

"He presented himself well & was very professional but I just needed help with the rain gutters. He asked if there was anything else I needed. I do need other things done but I just couldn’t afford anything else at the time. I haven’t had the gutter work done yet either."

"Real Construction did an amazing job on my kitchen, closets, bathrooms and pavers. I worked with ASI for the design portion and Sion as my contractor. They were incredibly helpful and always responded to my questions. RC handled everything from start to finish, so I never had to worry about anything. I gave Sion a budget and a general idea of what I wanted, and he helped me design a kitchen that exceeded my expectations. My backyard is amazing with new pavers and gazebo. RC upgraded our pool and installed lights. Sion stayed within my budget and timeline. Every aspect of this renovation was handled with the highest level of care, responsibility and professionalism. We are very happy with Real Construction and we're highly recommending them to all my family and friends."

"It went very well. Harold is a very knowledgeable individual about what needed to be done in landscaping. He made sure that everything is ready. He is very polite and a really good people person. He tried his best to accommodate whatever a person needs and he stands by his word. He doesn't overprice anything and he doesn't do it cheap either."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Thermal, CA

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.
