Ground screws in Fordingbridge
A practical base across the Avon Valley
Ground screws support a garden building on a planned grid without excavating the full footprint. That can save a great deal of soil, aggregate and concrete movement through Fordingbridge gardens.
Plots vary between the river valley, chalkier western ground and the New Forest side of town. We bring that context to the job and make the foundation choice easy for you.

A simpler way to build the base
Why choose ground screws instead of a dug base?
For many SP6 projects, ground screws reduce excavation and deliveries while giving the building installer a frame-ready base without delay.
| Factor | Ground screw foundation | Excavated concrete or aggregate base |
|---|---|---|
| Spoil | Little in standard work | Substantial on larger rooms |
| Floodplain | Planned for the actual garden | Usually needs a prepared, drained base |
| Slope | Can raise a frame | May need retaining work |
| Programme | No cure | Concrete cure |
Craig will recommend the foundation that genuinely suits the site. JustBases can also discuss alternative base types when needed.
Easy to arrange
Rural track or town side path? We will plan it
Ground screw installation usually needs fewer heavy material movements than a dug base, which helps both on long rural approaches and compact town routes.
A detailed access plan is not needed before contacting us. Share the address and a photo if convenient; we can visit when that is simpler.

Helpful local information
Fordingbridge planning links in one place
Many garden buildings use permitted development rights. Planning usually depends on the finished building's height, use and position rather than the ground screws alone.
Addresses can sit under New Forest District or National Park planning. The links make it easy to check, and there is no need to wait before requesting the base quote.
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.
