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?
