City garden sheds
Useful where access is narrow and the shed needs a tidy base without digging out the whole area.

Prepared properly before the building goes up
Truro projects can vary a lot from one street to the next. Some gardens are compact and enclosed, some sit behind newer estates, and others are village plots just outside the city. A free site survey gives Oliver a chance to check the access route, measure the fall across the ground and recommend whether ground screws, a treated timber frame or another base detail is the best fit.
The aim is simple: get the base right before the building arrives. A level base helps doors hang properly, keeps panels sitting square and reduces the chance of movement later. For many Truro gardens, ground screws also avoid the mess, drying time and waste that can come with concrete.
Local relevance
For Truro, the practical details are usually access, parking and how far materials need to be carried. Many town gardens do not suit heavy concrete work, so the survey focuses on a clean installation route and a base height that works with paths, patios and boundaries.
