Ground screws in Burley
A low-excavation base for Burley plots

Forest lanes, roots and local ground variation are familiar considerations for us. You only need to tell Craig what you hope to build.

Common applications
What can a ground screw base support?
From garden rooms and offices to sheds and studios, ground screws create a strong, level base without filling your garden with excavated soil or wet concrete.
Forest garden offices
Insulated rooms with compatible framed floors.
Summerhouses
Timber buildings requiring a true, ventilated base.
Workshops
Timber structures with a suitable support frame.
Raised decks
Designed platforms with appropriate restraint.
Three controlled installation stages
Measured layout, specialist torque and laser-checked support
We set out the building footprint, install each screw with purpose-built high-torque machinery and check the completed grid before framing.
-
1 The building frame guides each measured position.
Position the foundation
The footprint is measured and squared before the supports are placed into pilot points.
-
2 Machine installation creates strong, consistent support points.
Install with controlled power
Our professional driver turns the screws firmly into the ground while a laser guides the top level.

A simpler way to build the base
Why choose ground screws instead of a dug base?
Ground screws can reduce excavation and material movements in a Burley garden while giving the frame installer a base with no curing delay.
| Factor | Ground screw foundation | Excavated concrete or aggregate base |
|---|---|---|
| Forest access | Less bulk material | More deliveries and spoil removal |
| Levels | Can carry a raised frame | Often needs cut and sub-base build-up |
| Roots | Still require careful positions | Wider excavation may affect more ground |
| Handover | No cure period | Concrete needs time |
Craig will recommend the right foundation for the building and plot. Other JustBases options are available if another system suits better.
Easy to arrange
Let us handle the lane and garden route
Ground screws usually remove many loads of stone, soil and concrete from the job, helping where access follows a Forest lane or planted route.
There is no need to prepare measurements before your first call. A photo is useful if easy, and we can visit when the route needs seeing.

Helpful local information
Burley National Park planning links
Many garden buildings can still use permitted development rights, although National Park properties may need extra care. These questions normally relate to the finished building rather than its ground screws alone.
The links alongside make the first check easy. Your foundation enquiry can begin while building details are being confirmed.
You do not need to settle every planning detail before speaking with us. The links are here if they help, and Craig is happy to explain which parts relate to the base.

★★★★★
“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.”
