Shed pads, hardstands and site preparation

A shed pad needs to be level, compacted and able to drain water before the builder arrives. Poor preparation can delay the build or create problems later.

What we do

  • Strip and set aside topsoil where required

  • Cut and fill to establish the site level

  • Build and compact the pad in layers to the supplied specification

  • Shape drainage away from the pad and shed apron

  • Prepare hardstands and turning areas

  • Prepare tank bases and equipment pads

  • Build or improve access for delivery vehicles where included in the scope

Working with your builder

Send through the shed plans, supplier quote or engineering specification before the work is priced. The pad dimensions, levels, fall and compaction requirements need to be clear before construction starts. We work directly with your builder or any other trades to get the job done.

What helps when you ask for a price

Provide the shed size, intended use, site location and any plans or specifications you already have. Photos are useful, especially if water has previously sat on the site or access is limited.

Areas we cover

We work with your builders or directly with you to prepare a site that’s engineered to last.

A large site has been prepared. Brown dirt, cut to size and flattened. In the background sits an orange excavator and orange mini bulldozer.

No matter how big or small your site, we have the machinery, experience and skills to prepare your site for sheds, outbuildings, horse arenas, car parking and more.

common questions

  • Ground and weather conditions affect the work. Ask early if the shed delivery or build has a set date, so the site and timing can be assessed properly.

  • Approval requirements depend on the proposed building and the property. Confirm this with your council, building surveyor or shed supplier. Rolla Constructions provides the earthworks, not planning or building approval advice.

  • They can be scoped together. Whether that is practical depends on access, timing and the builder's program.

  • Honestly, we can’t recommend Rolla Constructions enough for any of your excavation or construction projects.

    Rolla Constructions has been our go-to team more than once, they are a fabulous crew who were professional, and punctual.

    Jake and the team gave us a few options that worked within our budget, and left us with an absolutely fantastic result. Something we wish we completed sooner, transformed our driveway from a mud pit of puddles to a neat appealing entrance to the property.
