Steps to prepare a site for a shed, including marking, excavation, framing, installing perimeter, weed barrier, white gravel, and leveling.

Peterson Exteriors began installing gravel and concrete pads three years ago. While building sheds daily for an affiliated shed company, we saw many site-prep jobs with workmanship far below acceptable standards. That led us to create a dedicated Site Prep division focused on dependable service and excellent craftsmanship.

  • Thorough site preparation: grading, compaction, drainage, and base materials

  • Hardscaping: patios, walkways, retaining walls, and steps

  • Backyard remodels: transform a yard from a maintenance chore into an outdoor living space you’ll love

  • Custom design services: our Design team will turn your ideas into a practical, buildable plan
