Built for this application
A treehouse may be carried by the tree, by independent posts, or by a hybrid of both. That makes its groundwork very different from a normal rectangular garden-building base.
JustBases can install the specified ground supports and concrete work for a design supplied by the treehouse builder or structural professional. We do not guess attachment loads or cut through roots to make a standard detail fit.
Options, assessed properly
The methods below are possibilities to assess—not interchangeable specifications. We match the foundation to the product, loads, support points, ground and access.
Ground screws
Engineered screws can sometimes support independent posts or a frame with less excavation than concrete. Suitability depends on roots, ground testing and the designer's connection detail.
Often worth considering for: Designed independent supports where root positions and loads allow
Concrete
Individual reinforced pads or post foundations may be specified where they can be excavated without unacceptable root damage.
Often worth considering for: Treehouse designs with engineered posts and defined footing reactions
Specialist foundations are quoted from the actual product, support plan and site information. No VAT is added to the guide prices shown.
Before installation
Tree roots cannot be treated as an unseen nuisance. The designer may require an arboricultural assessment, and the final foundation positions should reflect the actual tree and root protection constraints.
Raised platforms can affect privacy and planning even in a domestic garden. Confirm the treehouse proposal, not just the foundations, before committing to the build.
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.
A simple route forward
Tell us about the treehouse support structure, approximate size and site. We will identify any useful supplier information.
We assess access, levels, support requirements and ground, then provide a clear written quotation.
Our team installs the agreed base and leaves it ready for the approved building or equipment installer.
Genuine customer feedback
"I couldn't recommend Craig highly enough! Communication prior to the job was outstanding even considering our ever changing goal posts. Craig and his team turned up exactly at the agreed time, were well presented, friendly and professional. The cleanliness, attention to detail and quality of the job was outstanding."
"Good standard of workmanship. Friendly and efficient. Prompt response for estimate and fitted into our timescale. Will be using the firm in future and thoroughly recommend them."
"Craig and his team were very professional throughout the job. They worked tirelessly and extremely hard. The job involved digging up a thick reinforced concrete base. Then creating a whole new base with precision engineering in preparation to accept a new building on top. The result was an excellent job all round."
