Gazebo Foundations – Gravel & Concrete
Gravel gazebo foundations are the best foundations to keep your gazebo in great shape for a long, long time. Our gazebo foundations can be installed on any property. Contact us for a free quote to get your gazebo pad project started.
All our gazebo foundations are leveled and ready for your gazebo. We also offer a 12′ drainage system to control stormwater runoff from your gazebo. Standard gravel pads can be upgraded to a poured concrete foundation to get a more permanent foundation. Adding a concrete foundation requires digging. It is important to call 811, a nationwide service, to find out the location of any water, sewer, or electrical lines before digging begins. The poured concrete foundation is especially suited for large garages and similar buildings but can also work with large gazebos.

Types of Gazebo Foundations We Offer
For a more long-lasting, durable foundation, concrete is the way to go. It may boast a high initial cost, but it requires minimal maintenance and will withstand the test of time. On the other hand, gravel is a more affordable option that offers good drainage and is easy to install. However, they do require minor maintenance and are not as long-lasting as concrete.
Considerations
Here are some other things to keep in mind as you make your choice of our concrete and gravel foundations:
- Soil type and conditions
- Building regulations
- Climate conditions of your area
- Gazebo Use and Size
- Budget
Reviews From Past Gazebo Foundations
We’ve installed gazebo bases for 100s of happy customers! Here’s what a few of our recent gazebo foundation customers have to say:
Greg Stewart
Today Site Preparations (Mark and Elmer) did another job at my house – this time was a site prep for a new shed. They were at the house early, called in advance to let me know they were arriving soon, and did excellent work. This is the second time I have worked with this company and will definitely call them again when I need similar work done. I highly recommend this company!

The time it takes to construct a gazebo foundation will vary depending on the size and scope of the project and the material you choose for your foundation. Most gravel foundations take us only a day to complete while concrete foundations typically take a few days.
