What Is a Base Pad?
The Foundation Before the Foundation
A base pad is a leveled and compacted area of soil, gravel or road base that provides a stable, elevated foundation. Base pads help prevent settling, shifting, and drainage issues by distributing weight evenly and lifting the structure above ground moisture or runoff.
