Prepared properly before the building goes up
West Cornwall gardens can be exposed, sloped or difficult to access, especially where buildings need to be installed away from the road. The site survey checks the route in, the fall of the ground and the way water moves across the garden.
For many Penzance projects, a ground screw and treated timber base gives a cleaner route than concrete. It can support a shed, studio, summerhouse or garden room while keeping the building raised and square.
