Ground Screws: A Faster, Cleaner, Smarter Foundation

At Urban Spaces, we use ground screw foundations as a modern alternative to traditional concrete bases. Ground screws are quicker to install, environmentally friendly, and ideal for garden rooms, annexes, and modular extensions of all sizes.

​

What Are Ground Screws?

Ground screws are large, steel screws that are driven directly into the ground to create a stable, load-bearing base—without the need for digging or concrete. They work like giant bolts and are suitable for a wide range of soil conditions.

​

Why We Recommend Ground Screws

• ✅ Fast Installation – Ground screws can be installed in as little as one day, speeding up your entire build process.

• ✅ Eco-Friendly – With minimal soil disruption and no concrete required, ground screws are a low-impact foundation method.

• ✅ No Mess or Excavation – No digging, no drying time, and no skips needed.

• ✅ Strong & Stable – Engineered to support heavy structures and built to last for decades.

• ✅ Perfect for Sloped or Uneven Ground – Ideal where traditional foundations would be difficult or expensive to lay.
