When To Choose A Concrete Foundation
Why choose a concrete foundation over other options like a gravel pad? You should choose a concrete foundation when your shed or garage doesn’t have a prebuilt floor. Otherwise, a gravel shed pad is an excellent option. A gravel shed pad prevents water and moisture damage from affecting wooden sheds and leading to rot.
If you’re still unsure whether you should choose a gravel or concrete shed base, our article provides more in-depth information on each type.

FAQs
The best type of concrete foundation depends on the type of project you’re looking to complete. There are several different concrete strengths, and the best one to use for your foundation will depend on what you’re looking to build.
The depth of a concrete foundation depends on a number of factors such as frost line considerations, soil type, the load the foundation will bear, and your local building regulations. Typically, the minimum depth of your concrete foundation should be 12” below the ground and below the frost line in colder climates.
The lifespan of concrete foundations depends on soil conditions, foundation quality, maintenance, materials used, and other factors. Generally, most concrete foundations last 50 to 100 or more years as long as they’re well-constructed and properly maintained.
For an average size foundation of 16×24, the typical cost is $4,000. However, the exact cost will depend on your project’s size and scope. You can request a price sheet from us that includes different foundation sizes.
Concrete foundations typically take 28 days to cure when the concrete reaches its highest strength. The curing process at minimum should last 7 days.
A concrete slab foundation is a single layer of concrete that’s typically 4 to 6” thick while a concrete pier foundation consists of multiple columns spaced at intervals to support the structure’s weight. The main difference is that concrete slabs distribute weight evenly and concrete piers transfer the load across designated points. Also, slabs are better in areas with even soil distribution while piers are better suited for uneven terrain.
