"DDC was hired to clear and grade a building site. Exceeded my expectations. Was on time and done before schedule. After building was erected the team was back to finish grade, seed and straw, and repair rock lane. Would and have recommended DDC for any earth moving job."

"Our property has a considerable size asphalt driveway and turnaround (over 6,000 SF total) which was approaching 30 years of age. At the time the builder did a minimal install of 1-2 inches asphalt top with a questionable base. In spite of maintaining and sealing as possible, the drive had substantially deteriorated and a large challenge to restore. Pictures are included with sample areas shown. We searched extensively for a technically competent and trustworthy paving contractor to rebuild and improved the driveway/turnaround, and selected Keystone Paving to do the work. Mike (Keystone’s owner/operator) reviewed the situation and recommended a complete tear-up, base (emphasizing), a separate binder course and finish course. Other contractors offered a wide range of ‘interesting’ and similar solutions, but given our experience with Mike, his remarkable references and very competitive pricing we felt Keystone was the way to go. In summary we would not regret our decision. Due to time of year and weather (cold, rainy in late 2018) Mike was still able to remove the old asphalt, correct all of the bad areas, base with 2A (and 3A) modified stone, then install a substantial asphalt binder layer; the goal of achieving quality similar to a public roadway. In 2019 Keystone completed the work, updating binder as needed, then paving with a significant asphalt finish course; in total with absolutely excellent results, both in regards to durability and aesthetically; pictures included here. Mike also corrected the grade to assure proper drainage and drivability, as well as expanding key areas for better utility. They seamlessly and cleanly blended all of the work into the new flagstone walkways, both garages (separate buildings), drains, retaining wall, etc. They treat your property as if their own. Mike was always on site when any work needed to be done or assessed. He is respectful, always acts in the customers best interest and clearly takes pride in the Keystone team’s work; closely manages the entire situation, with proven impressive results. Plus, he has decades of technical experience and knowledge which was invaluable to tap for our particular project; critical given the current conditions and size of the effort. We would be remiss if we didn’t also mention the quality, care and thoroughness of everyone involved from Keystone, each member working diligently together, under Mike’s direction for efficiency and first-class outcome. We are ecstatic about the new driveway & turnaround, have to-date received countless compliments on it and the improvement to curb appeal. In our view, you simply cannot go wrong with Keystone & Mike; we definitely made the best decision, and will absolutely be utilizing Keystone in the future for any follow up efforts (sealing, etc.). Mike was key to the success of the project."

"They arrived very promptly, ready for work dressed in their company jackets with excellent leaf blowers. The .42 acre lot, with many trees, had not been raked all season. We have a Certified Wildlife Habitat property, and mulch the leaves ourselves to put in the beds. As we had asked, they used a tarp to move the ever-growing pile of very wet leaves (after 3 days of rain) to the area at the back of the property we had designated. It took them less than 2 hours, and the price was very reasonable, $55 less than the other landscaper we had engaged who never showed up. We are very pleased, and intend to call Brison through the year for our seasonal landscape chores, highly recommend."

"In late fall, I noticed that a piece of a stone wall abutting my driveway had broken off and was drifting into the driveway. Concerned that the wall would fall into the driveway, I contacted Quinn Brothers Masonry. They came out within two days, assessed the situation and gave me an estimate. The work involved taking down both walls, knocking off old mortar on the stones, and removing ivy. After the walls were taken down, protective covering was placed on the exposed dirt, and drainage pipes and gravel were installed. They then rebuilt the walls, using the original stones. While rebuilding the walls, Patrick Quinn advised me that my stone house foundation had been compromised by paint and old mortar. I authorized additional work to restore the foundation. The paint on the stone foundation was removed and the old mortar was taken out. Then, the entire foundation had new mortar installed. I am extremely pleased with the results and will definitely hire them again."

"Bob and his crew did an outstanding job on all three projects.  The first shed foundation required a lot of front end loading work with the township and Bob helped me navigate the process.   All of the jobs required significant travel for Bob and his crew, but they arrived early everyday and worked long into the evening.  Bob pays attention to the details and does not cut corners.  His rates are competitive and you definitely get what you pay for.  I highly recommend using Rock-A-Fellas for your next foundation or shed project.

"Gary Pierrtti designed and installed a curved front brick walkway, an L shaped side brick walkway for our new home last fall. We are delighted with his work and have received so many compliments from our neighbors. Gary just completed a major patio installation for us for our sloped backyard. He put in a curved retaining wall that also serves as extra seating around the fire pit also made out of interlocking pavers. As I was completely overwhelmed with decision making from doing a major demolation/remodel of the inside of the house, my husband and I gave Gary freedom to pick colors and design for the patio project. Who does that? Someone who has used Gary for major projects over the last decade and has always been so happy with his eye for design, color and work. The walkways Gary installed 9 years ago in our old house look as good now as they did when he first did the work. We find Gary extremely hard working, friendly and respectful of the home and neighbors. My husband and I highly recommend Pierrtti’s Landfeatures."

"An excellent experience from picking out the countertops to installation. The customer service reps and installation crew were courteous and knowledgeable. Pricing was excellent. We actually thought we were going to pay double the price. The job took less a week from beginning to end. Our kitchen looks beautiful!! We would recommend KOL Marble and Granite to anyone looking to purchase new countertops."

"Chris and his crew were excellent. The extent of Chris' knowledge was quite impressive. He made me feel like I was finally in good hands by showing and thoroughly discussing everything he found. During his inspection he checked every possible issue that could be causing the problems. He explained the repair processes necessary and showed me as he was doing them. They were courteous and cleaned up, leaving my property cleaner than when they arrived. They were very polite and more than willing to do whatever was necessary to help me complete the project as I wanted. I can not thank Chris and his team enough and would absolutely recommend their services."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Yorklyn, DE

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.
