Create a solid, level foundation for your storage shed, workshop, or outdoor structure. Our reinforced concrete pads are built to last 25+ years.
A properly installed concrete pad provides the ideal foundation for your shed, protecting your investment and ensuring decades of trouble-free use.
Unlike gravel or wood blocks that can shift and settle, concrete provides a perfectly level, permanent foundation that won't move over time.
Concrete prevents ground moisture from wicking up into your shed floor, protecting wood structures from rot and extending the life of your shed.
A solid concrete pad eliminates the gap under your shed where mice, skunks, and other pests love to nest. No burrows, no rodent damage.
Store riding mowers, ATVs, tools, and heavy equipment without worry. Our reinforced pads support thousands of pounds without cracking.
Sweep debris, hose it off, done. No weeds growing through, no gravel to rake, no settling to level. Concrete is the lowest-maintenance option.
A professional concrete pad is a permanent improvement that adds value to your property. It shows quality construction to future buyers.

We recommend making your concrete pad 2-4 inches larger than your shed footprint on all sides. This provides a perimeter for water drainage and makes installation easier. For example, for a 10x12 shed, consider a 10'4" x 12'4" pad.
Professional installation ensures your pad will last for decades without settling, cracking, or drainage issues.
We evaluate drainage, accessibility, and soil conditions. We mark the pad location and verify dimensions match your shed.
We excavate 8-10 inches deep, ensuring proper grade for water runoff. Soft spots are dug out and compacted.
4-6 inches of crusher run gravel is spread and machine-compacted to create a stable, well-draining base.
Sturdy forms are set level with proper grade. We double-check all dimensions before proceeding.
Wire mesh or rebar grid is installed on chairs to ensure it sits in the middle of the concrete for maximum strength.
We use 32MPa air-entrained concrete for freeze-thaw resistance. The concrete is vibrated to eliminate air pockets.
The surface is screeded level and finished with a broom texture. Proper curing ensures maximum strength.
After 7+ days of curing, your shed can be placed. We can install anchor bolts if requested during the pour.
