Those narrow Victorian garden paths in Earlsfield make shed installation tricky - but a properly laid base transforms any awkward corner into usable storage space. From compact Southfields plots to sprawling Wandsworth gardens, the right foundation keeps your shed level for decades.

Earlsfield's mix of period properties and newer builds creates unique challenges for outdoor structures. Victorian terraces often feature sloping gardens that need careful levelling, whilst the clay-heavy soil common to SW18 demands specific preparation techniques. Years of working between Garratt Lane and Magdalen Road have taught us exactly which base solutions suit each property type.
Concrete bases remain popular, though increasingly homeowners opt for eco-grid systems that manage drainage whilst supporting heavy timber buildings. Ground preparation varies dramatically - some Tooting-side gardens require minimal excavation, others near Wandsworth Common need substantial groundwork due to tree roots and established landscaping. Each base incorporates a damp-proof membrane, essential given London's unpredictable weather patterns.
Local knowledge matters when navigating Earlsfield's planning considerations and neighbour agreements. Having installed hundreds of bases across SW18, relationships with local suppliers mean materials arrive promptly despite the area's parking challenges.

Standard 8x6ft concrete bases start around £650-£850, whilst eco-friendly alternatives range £550-£750. Larger bases or challenging access through terraced properties may increase costs by 20-30%.
