If
you are considering installing a storage shed, keep in mind that any
portable shed deserves to be supported by a firm foundation. Let SOLID
GROUND SERVICES help you solve your site
preparation needs by professionally installing a crushed rock pad.
A raised, level rock pad helps drain water away, and greatly reduces
uneven settling, while allowing for the proper (and often mandatory)
anchoring of your shed. While not highly visible, a solid pad is a key
ingredient to satisfying your long-term expectations for a storage
building. |

Once the location of the site
is determined, a laser level is used to help establish a level grade. The pad
is 12 inches larger than the building on all four sides to help keep mowing
equipment away from your building.
A layer of topsoil is
removed using a skid loader, and treated 4x4 timbers are anchored around the perimeter. Next, the
bed is filled with four inches of crushed limestone, then smoothed and packed
– ready for your new building.
|
Corners
and splices of the timbers are reinforced with galvanized metal brackets
and fasteners. |
A
packer helps solidify and smooth the rock.

Warning:
We will do our best to minimize tracking, but in soft or irrigated yards
some tracks are inevitable. It is recommended that
irrigation be turned off for a week ahead of excavation. Additionally,
the homeowner should be prepared to level, pack, or reseed the lawn as
needed. |
