We Prepare Your Site Before Installation
Every garden is different.
We help with preparation, foundations, utilities and access so installation goes smoothly.
We can organise full site preparation in Ireland including:
1. Site inspection
Before installation we carry out a site inspection to assess access, ground conditions and existing services.
This allows us to advise the correct installation method and confirm what is required under Irish regulations.
Site inspection fee is €150, which covers travel and assessment.
If you proceed with the order, this amount is fully deducted from the final invoice.
We can arrange inspection anywhere in Ireland.
Contact us2. Garden clearance
In some cases the garden needs preparation before installation.
This may include removal of sheds, trees, fences or other structures to create safe access and space for the unit.
We work with trusted local contractors and can organise the preparation if required.
Ask about preparation3. Levelling
The installation area must be level and properly prepared.
Ground works may be required to ensure safe placement and long-term stability of the unit.
Preparation requirements vary for every property and are assessed after inspection.

Depending on ground conditions, the unit may be installed on a concrete base or ground screw system.
We recommend the most suitable solution after site inspection.
