Concrete Foundation Uses
Garage Foundation
The most common use for gravel foundations is to support your garage structurally, while also keeping your shed level.
Pole Barn Foundation
It’s important your pole barn is level and secure. We install gravel and concrete foundations for pole barns.
Shed Foundation
Shed foundations have a host of benefits that include drainage under your shed and a level base, which further strengthens your shed.

When To Choose a Concrete Foundation
There is one main scenario when you should choose a concrete foundation for your shed: When your shed or garage doesn’t have a pre-built floor.
If you shed or garage comes with a floor built in, then a gravel shed pad is your best choice. A gravel shed pad helps to keep the bottom of your shed dry and it reduces the amount of water that splashes up against the sides of the shed. It is the preferred foundation for sheds with wood floors. We have an entire article detailing the differences between gravel vs. concrete shed bases!
If you purchase a shed without a floor, we’d be happy to install a concrete slab for you. Many larger prefab garages will also need concrete footers and concrete floors installed.
