Question 1

What is the difference between a gravel pad and just spreading stone on the ground?

Accepted Answer

A properly built gravel pad starts with stripping topsoil and organic material down to stable sub-grade. We install woven geotextile fabric, place compactable base material such as limestone crusher run, and compact it in controlled lifts. Simply spreading gravel over grass or soil leads to settling, sinking, and mud — especially under heavy loads like RVs or equipment.

Question 2

How thick should a gravel pad be?

Accepted Answer

Thickness depends on the intended use and soil conditions. RV pads, equipment pads, and shed pads typically require a properly compacted base built in layers to handle weight without shifting. We evaluate soil stability and build the pad to match the load it needs to support.

Question 3

Will my gravel pad settle over time?

Accepted Answer

When built correctly with proper excavation, geotextile separation, and compaction in lifts, settling should be minimal. Most pad failures happen when organic soil is left in place or material is not compacted properly. Proper preparation is what ensures long-term stability.

Question 4

Do you handle site preparation before installing the pad?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We handle clearing, stripping topsoil, minor grading, drainage considerations, and full site prep before installing the pad. Our goal is to leave you with a level, compacted surface that is ready for your RV, structure, or equipment.
