Gravel Shed Pad Project in Honeoye, Ontario County, New York
Project Overview
Our client in Honeoye, Ontario County, New York, was looking for a gravel shed pad installation contractor to prepare a solid foundation for their new shed. They reached out to us after hearing about our work through a local supplier. The project goal was clear: create a reliable gravel shed pad for a 10’ x 14’ shed on a flat area that sits just above a steep incline from the driveway so proper excavation and grading were key to making this project work.
Here is the Existing Condition of the Property:

How We Completed the Project
Ground Preparation
We began by preparing the ground for a 12’ x 16’ gravel shed pad—always built 2 feet larger than the shed itself. Due to the incline, this step required careful excavation and grading to ensure the base was level and safe.
Retaining Wall and Boulder Border Installation
For extra stability and a finished look, we placed larger river rocks as a border around the shed pad. Our excavator operator even joked that it felt like stacking LEGO bricks while positioning the boulders—making it both functional and fun.
Geotextile Fabric and Stone Base
We installed geotextile fabric beneath the pad to prevent weed growth and keep the stone layer stable over time. After that, we spread and compacted 10 tons of #1 Crusher Run stone at a 4-inch depth. Everything was graded and rolled to create a durable surface.
