At Wunderbar Structures, we understand that purchasing and setting up a new building can be a daunting task. That’s why we offer an optional site preparation service designed to make the process simple and stress-free for you.
Comprehensive Site Preparation
Excavation and Leveling: Our team begins by carefully excavating the building site. This involves removing any existing debris, vegetation, or unsuitable soil. We then level the area to ensure a stable and even foundation for your new structure.
Framing and Stone Filling: We construct a 4×6 framed area on the prepared site. This frame is then filled with 4 to 6 inches of clean stone. The stone is meticulously leveled and compacted to create a solid base.
Benefits of a Stone Foundation
Moisture Prevention: The stone foundation serves a dual purpose. It acts as a sturdy base for your structure and functions as a drainage bed. This design helps prevent moisture from accumulating around the sides and flooring of your building, which is crucial for avoiding rot and extending the lifespan of your structure.
Uneven Settling Prevention: Proper site preparation is essential for preventing uneven settling, which can lead to structural issues over time. Our methods ensure that your building remains stable and secure, providing peace of mind and longevity for your investment.

We strive to provide flexible and comprehensive options to enhance the durability and stability of your new building. One such option is our Polypropylene Fabric feature, along with various perimeter upgrades and detailed pricing information for site preparation.
Polypropylene Fabric Option
Enhanced Drainage and Stability: Polypropylene fabric is an excellent addition to your stone pad foundation. This material effectively separates the stone pad from the ground, ensuring faster drainage and greater stability for your structure.
Weed Prevention: An added benefit of the fabric is its ability to prevent weeds from growing up around your building, maintaining a clean and well-kept appearance.
Cost: The cost for including the polypropylene fabric is an additional $0.30 per square foot.
Perimeter Upgrade Options
We offer several options to upgrade the perimeter framing of your stone pad, enhancing its stability and aesthetic appeal:
- Upgrade to 6×6 Frame: Add 18% to the base price for a more robust frame.
- Oval Perimeter: Add 15% for an elegant oval-shaped perimeter.
- Octagon Perimeter: Add 30% for a unique octagon-shaped perimeter.
Mileage and Additional Costs
Mileage Rate: Our mileage rate starts from our Loganton, PA location to your site, priced at $6.00 per loaded mile for up to 130 miles. For distances beyond this, additional travel costs will apply.
Pricing Calculations and Conditions
Base Pricing: To calculate the total cost, add the pad price to the perimeter upgrades and mileage costs.
Site Leveling Conditions: Our pricing is based on the assumption that the site is within 10 inches of level. If the site is more than 10 inches off level, additional charges will apply as follows:
- 10″-20″ Off Level: Additional 20%
- 20″-28″ Off Level: Additional 30%
- More than 28″ Off Level: Custom quote required
Important Notes:
- On-site Charges: Any additional charges due to site complications or extra travel will be collected by our crew on the day the work is completed.
- Payment Terms: Pads cannot be included in rent-to-own contracts. They must be paid outright unless the building is being financed.
By offering these optional features and transparent pricing, Wunderbar Structures ensures that your building project is tailored to your needs and set on a solid foundation for long-term durability and satisfaction.
