SITE PREPARATION

Site preparation
for your shed.

A shed’s base needs to suit the building and the ground it will sit on. We review the location, slope, drainage and access, then prepare the agreed base for a ShedPros build or a shed from another supplier.

THE BUILDING REQUIREMENTS & THE SITE

The footprint, ground
and route into the yard.

The planned building sets the base requirements. The property determines how we approach the work. We review nearby fences or retaining walls, changes in grade and the path for materials and equipment before defining the site-preparation scope.

  • Site layout and access planning for the intended building
  • Gravel preparation, compaction and leveling as the project requires
  • Base requirements for a ShedPros build or another supplier’s shed

SITE PREPARATION AS A SEPARATE SERVICE

the fence and retaining wall.

In this project, the pad was prepared in an existing corner of the yard. The photo sequence shows the existing area, timber border and completed gravel surface.

Site preparation can be the whole job. If your building is coming from another supplier, we can review its requirements and include the agreed preparation in our estimate.

ORDERING FROM ANOTHER SUPPLIER?

Match the base
to the shed you’re ordering.

Send the product link or any base requirements you’ve received, along with the proposed location. We can use those details to discuss preparation and access before the shed arrives. If you’re still choosing a building, tell us what you’re considering.
