Professional Site Preparation for Your New Barn or Shed
Proper site preparation is the foundation of a long-lasting, level, and secure barn or shed installation. At J&J Barns, we handle everything from initial assessment through final grading to ensure your structure sits perfectly on your property in Wooster, Mansfield, Akron, Canton, New Philadelphia, Medina, and surrounding communities.
- Step 1
Free On-Site Assessment
We begin with a thorough walkthrough of your property, taking note of slope, soil type, drainage patterns, and access routes. This allows us to recommend the ideal footprint, orientation, and base design for your new barn or shed.
- Step 2
Clearing & Debris Removal
Our crew removes grass, brush, rocks, and any other obstructions within your chosen footprint. We’ll also trim low-hanging branches and ensure clear access for delivery equipment.
- Step 3
Grading & Leveling
Using precision tools and laser levels, we cut and fill soil to create a perfectly level plane. We slope the surrounding grade away from the base to promote positive drainage.
- Step 4
Base Installation
We create a stable, level foundation—whether it’s a compacted gravel pad, cement piers, or pressure-treated skids—tailored to your site’s needs.
- Step 5
Final Inspection & Approval
Before we bring in your new structure, we perform a final walkthrough with you to confirm that the site is perfectly prepped and meets your expectations. Only then do we schedule your shed or barn delivery and installation.
