 I have a tricky yard to navigate the equipment required to build the pad. I sent pictures, but to be sure the egress would be adequate, they sent a person onsite a week before the install day to measure. The day of install was seamless. The crew was efficient and professional, and even took the old landscaping fabric out to the curb for me for trash day. A very good experience.

## Gravel Shed Pad FAQ's
### Do I need a concrete or gravel shed pad?
If your shed is built with a wood floor, you should choose a gravel pad; a concrete foundation is ideal for a shed without a prebuilt floor. You can read an in-depth comparison of each type of foundation in our article: 
### What size of shed pad do I need?
Your gravel shed foundation should be 12" wider than your shed all the way around. So an 8'x12' shed should be installed on a 10'x14' pad. For more information, read our article about 
### Is a gravel shed pad better than shed foundation blocks?
Absolutely. We don't recommend using shed foundation blocks for your shed base as they can cause structural problems in your building as time goes on. Learn more in our article about .
### Do your gravel shed pads include fabric weed barrier?
Yes, fabric weed barrier comes standard on all our gravel shed pads. We believe it provides extra stability to your shed foundation by separating the gravel from the dirt below. Some of the features and benefits of our commercial-grade fabric weed barrier include:
* Made from high-quality, non-woven polypropylene fibers
* Prevents weeds from growing over covered areas
* Great for filtration, reinforcement, separation, and erosion control
* Helps to prevent clogging, extend drainage system life, and increase performance
### What does it cost to install a shed pad?
You can ! Prices are dependent upon your garage or shed site being within 8” of level. (If the pad is more than 8'' off level, additional charges may be applied by the site crew on the day of work being done)
* Pad Between 8” to 14” Off Level - Add 20%
* Pad Between 14” to 20” Off Level - Add 30%
* Pad Between 20” to 26” Off Level - Add 40%
* Pad More Than 26” Off Level - Custom Quote
**For shed pads that exceed 26” off level, we recommend an upgrade to a 6x6 perimeter. While not required, this will add significantly more strength to your gravel shed foundation.**
### Are your gravel pads only for sheds?
No! Gravel pads also make great , hot tub pads, patio/fire pit areas, and more! A gravel pad with stone dust (instead of 3/4" stone) is a great option for a horse row barn or run-in shed foundation. Feel free to  with questions about whether a gravel pad is right for your needs!
