This North London homeowner had plans for a beautiful log cabin in their garden, but like so many urban properties, access was the immediate challenge.The only way to reach the installation site was straight through the garage. No side gates, no convenient pathways – just a narrow route that ruled out heavy machinery and traditional concrete work entirely.Traditional foundations could have triggered disruption, potentially damaging the existing garden and creating a mess that would take even longer to clear up. With mature plants and established landscaping surrounding the site, the homeowner was understandably concerned about protecting the space they’d worked so hard to create and maintain. The back-garden site – perfect for a ground screw foundation!The solutionAfter working closely with both our client and their garden room manufacturer, we planned the foundation base to meet the exact specifications needed for the log cabin structure. Our team installed a 6″x 2″ C24 Treated Joist base supported by 76mm x 1250mm ground screws. The entire installation was completed in just a few hours, working carefully through the garage access route.Because ground screws don’t require excavation or concrete mixing, we could work in the tight space without heavy equipment. No skips, no mess, no damage to the surrounding garden.The resultsThe foundations were ready immediately – no waiting for concrete to cure, no return visits needed. Most importantly, the installation had absolutely no lasting impact on the surrounding environment. The plants, trees, and existing landscaping remained entirely undisturbed. You’d never know major foundation work had just taken place.The neatly completed base, ready for the customer’s log cabinOur customer Peter had this to say about the project: “Many thanks for the excellent work carried out by Robbie, Toby and Pav – a great service from start to end.”This is exactly the kind of project where ground screws make perfect sense. Quick install, zero mess, and ready to use within hours. The homeowner now has solid, level foundations for their log cabin, installed in hours rather than weeks, with their beloved garden left exactly as we found it.
