Site Preparation for Sheds

Once you have selected where you want your shed pad, our team goes to work and removes the loom (grass) from that area and installs the shed pad borders. Our 6″ x 6″ borders are secured to each other and to the ground with special brackets and stakes.

After the borders are set and staked, we use a power compacter to tamp the ground to prevent any settling in the gravel after the shed is placed on the pad. If the dirt under the pad is not compacted, the pad will settle over time leading to an uneven surface for your structure.

With every gravel pad we install a layer of landscaping fabric under the gravel. This will create a permanent weed prevention barrier for your shed, giving you one less piece of property to maintain.

After spreading the gravel, we use a power tamper to compact it firmly. This step is essential for creating a smooth, level surface that can handle the weight of your shed. Proper compaction prevents sinking and shifting, ensuring long-term durability.

With the foundation fully prepared, your shed is placed onto the stable, level gravel pad. This professional installation ensures that your structure is well-supported and ready for long-term use. With a properly prepared base, your shed will remain secure, functional, and maintenance-free for years to come.
