Guarco Construction Inc., is a family owned business that has been serving the greater Hartford Area for over 35 years. Our service is our pride. Construction, Paving, Snow Removal, Sewer Drainage, Excavation and more!

"A friend recommended Carl from Guarco Construction, so we reached out. He came over to take a look and we were struck by how knowledgeable, personable, and professional he was. By the time he gave us a quote and left, we decided not to approach anyone else for a quote and hired Carl and Guarco Construction for the job. He listened very closely to us and showed how he fully understood our needs for the job. When he and his crew arrived, they were professional, efficient, and effective. They completed all their work in a few hours. We’re so pleased with how the driveway turned out, it feels brand new and doesn’t scrape our car at all anymore! I highly recommend Carl and Guarco Construction to anyone, we couldn’t have asked for a better team for the job."

We are a full service Excavation and Trucking Company with 30+ years of experience. Specializing in Complete Septic System Installation and Repair. New or Failing System we perform perk and have Design Engineers we work with your particular project. Demolition of any Building and removal of debris. We do not perform septic pump outs.

"Septic tanks were left exposed, site was a mess, and vent pipe was not at the required height. We talked with him a month before we anticipated water connection, so he knew our timelines. We attempted to contact him every day for a week to schedule final inspection after water was connected, but got no response. It took two emails from the city for him to sign the certificate of compliance."

Gravel or loose fill paving installs, spreads or scrapes FAQs

The depth of decomposed granite depends on the load the surface will support. For a vehicle driveway, install decomposed granite six inches deep. For pedestrian areas, use three inches, and for decorative surfaces, one inch will suffice. Heavier loads require thicker layers to ensure stability, drainage, and longevity, while lighter uses can maintain their appearance with less material.

One cubic yard of decomposed granite covers 54 square feet when laid to a six-inch depth. This conversion is derived by dividing the volume in cubic feet by the depth in feet. The calculation is fundamental for project planning because it converts three-dimensional volume into the two-dimensional area of coverage. Due to potential settling and compaction after installation, pros recommend an extra 15% to ensure the installed layer meets precise design requirements and maintains robust stability over time.

Determining whether a base layer is necessary for decomposed granite installation requires careful assessment of your project needs. A base layer of crushed rock or gravel provides essential support, improved drainage, and enhanced stability. Utilizing a solid base improves the overall structure by absorbing weight, reducing erosion, and extending the life of the surface. Additionally, a properly compacted base layer minimizes shifting and settling, ensuring that the decomposed granite remains evenly distributed and effective over time.
