Getting a Shed? Start With a Solid Foundation.
A shed is only as stable as the foundation underneath it. We build properly sized, reinforced, and compacted gravel pads that create a level, well-drained base before your shed arrives.

Why Your Shed Needs a Gravel Pad
Your shed may look solid above ground, but the foundation underneath it plays a major role in how well it performs over time.
Placing a shed directly on unprepared soil can lead to uneven settling, poor drainage, moisture underneath the structure, and a shed that gradually shifts out of level.
A properly installed gravel pad creates a stable, compacted base before the shed arrives. It helps distribute the weight of the structure, improves drainage around the shed, and gives the installer a level surface to work from.
Our gravel pads are sized beyond the shed footprint to provide the support and surrounding space the foundation needs.
- 8×8 shed → 10×10 gravel pad
- 10×14 shed → 12×16 gravel pad
How We Build Your Gravel Pad
Size the Pad
We determine the correct gravel pad size based on your shed dimensions and prepare a foundation that extends beyond the shed footprint.
Frame & Secure
We build the perimeter using pressure-treated skids and secure the frame with 1/2-inch rebar driven into the ground.
Clear & Grade
We remove sod, soil, roots, rocks, and debris from inside the framed area, then grade and level the site.
Add Stone, Level & Compact
We fill the frame with 21A limestone, level the material, and mechanically compact it to create a stable gravel shed foundation.
What's Included in Your Gravel Pad Installation
Every gravel pad installation includes the materials, site preparation, equipment, and labor needed to prepare a stable foundation for your shed. Before work begins, we confirm your shed size and site conditions so the gravel pad can be properly prepared for the installation.
Pressure-Treated Skids
4x6x12 weather-treated wood skids framed around the full perimeter of the pad.
1/2-Inch Rebar & Fasteners
Rebar stakes driven through the skids plus structural fasteners and hex screws to lock the frame in place.
Site Prep & Debris Removal
Sod, soil, roots, rocks, and debris cleared out from inside the frame, then graded and leveled.
21A Limestone Gravel
21A limestone delivered and spread inside the frame at roughly 4 inches of compacted depth.
Mechanical Compaction
Plate compactor run over the stone so the base is solid and ready for the shed installer.
Labor & Haul-Away
All installation labor, truck drive time and fuel, and disposal of the excess soil and debris.
