Zim and his team did 2 pieces of work for us, originally we had a concrete base for a shed, and later had the concrete extended the full length of the garden. Both times the lads were great. They were respectful, efficient, friendly & very tidy. We’re delighted with the results & would highly recommend!

I have never seen a contractor deliver this standard and finish of work. They arrived at 08:00am and were leaving each day at 7pm. Zim and his time were so organised & professional , incredible work ethic. He kept checking with my wife & I as he progressed and made suggestions which made the finished patio look amazing. The levels, stepping down and marrying into the house and garden is beautifully finished, thank you so much Declan & Ann Marie

Our Services Include

Design & Planning

We assess your site and determine the size and type of base you need (modular panels, concrete slab, gravel foundation). This personalised approach ensures your base fits perfectly with both your shed and your garden.

Base Installation

We follow a meticulous installation process: ground preparation, installation of a damp-proof membrane, levelling with sand or gravel, and then assembling modular panels (as recommended by shedsdirectireland.com). Each pack contains four panels and is designed to match common shed sizes. This solution is cheaper and faster to install than a full concrete slab.

Material Options

We offer several base solutions:

Recycled plastic modular panels (eco-base) – quick installation, permeable, long-lasting
Concrete slab – extremely durable and rigid
Stabilised gravel base – economical and flexible

Each comes with its own advantages in terms of speed, permeability and longevity.

Partnership with Sheds Direct Ireland

We work closely with Sheds Direct Ireland.
If you purchase a shed from them, we can install the exact base required for their model and advise you on the number of packs needed.
Sheds Direct Ireland strongly recommends using a solid, level base to avoid moisture issues or deformation.

Maintenance & Additional Services

We offer optional check-ups to ensure the base remains stable over time, drains correctly and prevents sinking or uneven settling.

Shed Base Installation Process

Measure the area – define the exact footprint of your shed
Preparation – install a damp-proof membrane and level with sand or gravel
Assembly – place modular panels (or pour concrete) and fill them with gravel or cement
Finishing – ensure the surface is perfectly level, then install the shed
Maintenance – regular checks extend the lifespan of the base
