"Steve and his crew are truly awesome guys. They all communicate very well and even went the extra mile to locate my son's drain issue and came up with a solution to keep the garage from flooding during a heavy rain. My son lives in Manchester, MD. I highly recommend them. Kurt"

"Had used their tech Fred twice before with no problems. They were very responsive but other tech scheduled had urgent dental work. Rescheduled three more weeks out with other tech. Had headphones in and did not hear knock or call. Rescheduled and I mistook date and was in Maine when they arrived. Since I was outside their usual area I felt it better to cancel project since I only had six months lease. They stated would refund, and I will appreciate since I am a senior in fixed income."

"We had a great experience with Greg Sutherland Paving, we had a very steep and difficult driveway and they were the only one to recommend a film on the hill beside a cliff where the driveway was pulling apart and would continue to separate if not for installing the film, also they were very easy to speak to and we're willing to whatever we needed to make us happy, and we are happy"

"Sublime Innovations did an excellent job in getting my landscaping together for the start of the growing season. We used them to refresh the landscaping around our yard. Our landscaping had overgrown and become unkempt during the fall and winter. Sublime Innovations was able to clean all of the flower beds of dead matter and weeds and trim all of our hedges and bushes so that they are more manageable to maintain. We will definitely be using them again for maintenance of our landscaping to ensure it remains beautiful."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in York, PA

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.
