It depends on the project, soil conditions, and priorities like cost, speed, and environmental impact. Here’s a comparison to help decide:
Ground Screws
✅ Faster Installation – No digging or curing time; installed in hours.
✅ Less Disruption – No heavy machinery, minimal soil disturbance.
✅ Eco-Friendly – Reusable, removable, and lower carbon footprint.
✅ Works on Uneven Ground – Can be adjusted individually.
❌ Not Ideal for All Soils – Struggles in very rocky or sandy ground.
❌ Higher Upfront Cost – But can save money on labor and materials.
Concrete Foundations
✅ High Load-Bearing Capacity – Best for heavy structures.
✅ Works in Most Conditions – Suitable for almost any ground type.
✅ Long-Lasting & Sturdy – Great for permanent structures.
❌ Takes Longer – Requires excavation and curing time.
❌ More Disruptive – Can damage surrounding soil and increase site mess.
❌ Less Eco-Friendly – Concrete production has a high carbon footprint.
Best Choice for a Garden Room?
Ground Screws are often better for garden rooms because they’re quick, clean, and easy to remove if needed.
Concrete is preferable for very soft or unstable soil or if you need extreme load-bearing strength.
What’s your priority—speed and sustainability or long-term heavy-duty stability?
