"Mark and his crew did a great job adding stone to our long driveway. Mark got the right color and insured that his crew understood what I wanted done. His crew leveled the driveway wonderfully, and overall, I couldn't be happier."

"We had work done on the stone patio around our pool. He also did drainage work around an area of our house that often floods. It has really made an incredible difference! Especially with all the rain we have had this year! I am so grateful to Sal and his workers! I would highly recommend their company!"

"Mulch and trimming were done right away and looked very nice, although some weeds have sprouted up from the mulched area.



Installation of pavers took 3 months to even begin, but it was done in one day. The constant rain played a part for the delay, but I did feel that the project was on the back burner. We wanted the pavers to match the patio pavers in color. We went with his recommendations. The pavers do not match - appear the same color of cement pavement. Upon inquiry, was told that they had heard that a lot and that it will take a few months and color may change. The installation looks great but we are very disappointed with the color and hope it does change to match the patio. I will respond back in a few months and let you know if pavers did change color.

Having used Freestate before they were at the top of our list when it came to having the last two trees in our backyard removed. We used their services a couple of years ago to have a branch removed from one of those same trees, and they did a great job. at the time we asked them for an estimate for having the trees removed and the stumps ground. The estimate was fair, and included all of the costs of the removal and grinding.


Fast forward to 2015 and they were quick to respond to our request as to whether or not the estimate they provided was still workable. Their estimate was still one of the best, not too low and not too high, right in the middle where you would expect an honest and professional business to be.


After e-mailing them they went out and checked the trees, and said that the estimate was still good to go. So we hired them to come out and get to cutting. Of course the weather did not want to cooperate, and they had to reschedule, not a problem as safety is always paramount.


When the weather finally settled down they called and e-mailed saying that they would be out on the 10th of July. Of course, we couldn't take off of work, but that wasn't a problem. They came out and were at it bright and early according to our next door neighbors, and they worked with the utmost care in taking those trees down. Two 50 to 60 foot silver maples ... they used a crane, and we were told that they took out quite a few truck loads. When we arrived home they were still working on the final section of the trunk, and were still able to answer my questions while continuing to work.


They came by a few days later to grind down the stumps, which also went very well.


The best part is that they were very accommodating to my request to leave two 4 foot sections of the trunk behind so that I could make a few table tops. They left me an excellent section where the trunk split into two smaller trunks with a third trunk also forming.

"Oscar and Solid Brick Contracting, LLC have done several projects at my current home and my previous residence. The first project he completed for me was a new bluestone walkway and irrigation system 7 years ago at my old house. This past summer, Oscar has repointed the bluestone/flagstones around the pool and front entrance (which includes walkway, stairs and landing), reset pavers along the walkway to the pool, and built 3 large retaining walls. I have additional projects that he is going to undertake this fall. Oscar is very easy to work with. After understanding our goals and specifications for each project, he provides guidance in the type of construction and materials that would work the best. He is also always available by phone/text. He either answers right away or returns the call promptly. The two large retaining walls required custom stones and configurations which he designed and implemented perfectly. He also was forthcoming if additional planning from an engineer would be necessary or permits be required. When we planned for the custom wall, he also was clear that the stones might be difficult to find and not an exact match. He searched multiple quarries and found what we needed. I was happy he did not give up after going to the first quarry. Regarding the job itself. Pros 1. Oscar understands hardscaping and what works best. 2. The crew is polite and respectful. 3. Once the job is done the site is very clean. All the dirt is swept up and garbage removed. 4. During the job the equipment was typically organized and out of the way. 5. Once the work starts, the job progresses quickly. 6. The project looks great! Cons 1. Oscar is busy. I suppose this is not a true con but if you are looking forward to a nice patio with a fire pit and retaining wall you might have to wait a short period of time. It is worth it!"

"This is a fantastic company and I recommend them to anybody. My family has been using M&R for for over two years. They're extremely professional and on time. Many grass cutters. --- after a few cuts --- never show up again. These people are always on time and they communicate on a daily basis. M&R does an immaculate job on the entire property with full cutting, trimming and tremendous cleanup. I highly recommend M&R services. They are exceptional."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Upper-falls, MD

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.
