Still comparing the options? What type of base is best for a caravan hardstanding?
Start with what you want to build
The right foundation for your caravan hardstanding
A caravan concentrates load through tyres, steadies and a jockey wheel, so soft gravel tipped over soil soon develops ruts and hollows. The sub-base and edge restraint do most of the structural work.
Wheel-load support
The compacted construction resists rutting at tyres, steadies and the jockey wheel.
Explore the details →Drainage
Surface and sub-base are selected so runoff does not head to the highway or neighbouring land.
Explore the details →Manoeuvring room
The usable base includes hitch access and turning space, not only the body footprint.
Explore the details →Stable levelling
The pitch is formed to sensible falls without making caravan levelling unnecessarily difficult.

From first call to a finished foundation
Getting started is simple. We will guide you through the choices and explain any information needed before installation.
Talk through the options
We discuss the site and suitable foundations, identify any supplier information needed and provide a clear written quotation.
Install and hand over
Our team marks out and installs the agreed foundation, with the required checks before the next stage of your project.
Choose the foundation, not the complication
Foundation options for your caravan hardstanding
These are the methods worth assessing for this application. The structure, support plan and actual ground determine the right choice—not a one-size-fits-all specification.
Paving slabs
Paving-slab base
Vehicle-rated paving or concrete wheel strips can create a clean, durable pitch with appropriate sub-base and drainage.
Worth considering for: Private side gardens and high-use storage positions

Concrete
Concrete foundation
A designed concrete hardstanding provides a robust permanent surface where impermeable runoff is lawfully managed.
Worth considering for: Heavy use, maintenance areas and sites where a slab is approved

What matters for your caravan hardstanding
We build permeable gravel, grid, paved or concrete hardstandings to the actual caravan length, access path and turning arrangement.

Before installation
Dimensions, approvals and responsibilities
For front gardens in England, permeable-surfacing rules and drainage arrangements can affect whether planning permission is needed. A dropped kerb or new access is a separate approval matter.
Site pitches can use compacted gravel or grid systems; construction depth and drainage depend on ground, traffic and intended all-season use.
JustBases quotes the agreed foundation and groundwork. Product installation, specialist connections, commissioning and third-party design remain outside our scope unless the written quotation expressly includes them.
