Shed Base Specialists for Shaftesbury's Unique Geology.
Shaftesbury sits atop a dramatic ridge of Upper Greensand — a tough sandstone that forms the hilltop the town is famous for. This creates unique ground conditions: the greensand is stable and well-draining on top, while the lower slopes around Enmore Green and towards the Blackmore Vale have Gault Clay, which behaves very differently.
At JustBases, we understand these local variations. Whether your garden is on the sandy hilltop or the clay slopes below, we'll prepare the right sub-base for lasting stability. Our 50+ years of family experience means we know exactly how to handle North Dorset's varied geology.

Need Help Choosing Your Shaftesbury Shed Base?
"Hi, I'm Craig. I've worked across Dorset for years and I know North Dorset's unique conditions. Shaftesbury's hilltop location means you might have greensand in your garden — brilliant for drainage but needs the right approach. If you're lower down towards the vale, there's clay to consider. Either way, I'll give you honest advice on the perfect base for your garden."
