Garden Rooms such as the model above range from 3.5m diameter to 5.5m diameter, without the need for planning permission.

So, you’ve decided to install a Garden Room at your home. But, what about the Groundworks? Many garden room suppliers don’t supply groundworks services and it often lands to the homeowner to get a suitable, level, prepared site ready prior to the garden room arrival.

We often work with our clients to decide which is the most efficient and reliable method of garden room foundation.

Our favorite, as are many installers, are Ground screws. The innovative foundation solution that bypasses the need for traditional foundations like concrete and offer the perfect solution for projects on sloping, uneven ground or in hard-to-access areas.

Ground screws are perfect for garden rooms and offer numerous benefits over concrete:

• no mess or damage to your site or the surrounding area

• no digging or excavation required

• ground screws are 70% faster to install than concrete – usually installed in less than 3 hours

• Can be installed over the entire year, without concerns of frost or rain delaying installation

Ground screws are a low-carbon alternative to concrete based foundations. One of the most amazing benefits is that they can be “unscrewed” from the earth and re-located once your garden room has reached the end of it’s life. Both permanent and temporary foundations for hard-to-access areas, steep or hilly, sloped gardens and are advantageous in conservation areas.

So, if you’re seeking a Geodome Garden room, we would co-ordinate with a Groundscrew company who is local to you and arrange your no-fuss foundation system prior to installing the geodome base. Costs vary, but we would advise, for a 3.5m garden room, to budget between £2,500 - £3,000.00 for the installed system. *Site specific, groundscrews come in different lengths and gauges depending on the quality of the ground and the weight of your garden room.

If you are still seeking your perfect garden room, remember, we have a one time offer to celebrate our 3 year anniversary! https://www.snowdondomes.com/tryfan - This offer will not come around again, call us if you’d like to visit our workshop or arrange a site survey.
