Concrete Pads for Sheds in the KC Northland
Most shed pads in our area — roughly 10×12 to 12×16 at a 4-inch pour — fall between $1,200–$2,800 installed, including grading, compacted base rock, forms, and a broom-finished slab sized to your building.

What Moves the Price
Pad size and thickness
A 4-inch slab handles typical storage sheds. Larger outbuildings, garages, or anything housing a vehicle warrants 5–6 inches, sometimes with thickened edges or footings.
Site prep and leveling
A sloped backyard corner needs cut-and-fill grading before forming. The more out-of-level the site, the more base work goes in before concrete ever arrives.
Backyard access
If a concrete truck can't reach the site, we wheel or pump the mix back — doable on almost any lot, but access is one of the first things we look at when pricing.
Anchors and build-ready details
If you tell us who's building or delivering your shed, we'll match the pad dimensions and set anchor bolts or J-bolts to their spec so installation day goes smoothly.
Local Pricing, Local Knowledge
Shed pads are one of our most-requested small concrete jobs across Kearney, Smithville, and the rural properties around Holt — new sheds, replacement pads under buildings that outlived their gravel base, and pads poured ahead of a prefab delivery. A proper concrete pad keeps the floor dry, keeps the building square, and satisfies most shed manufacturers' warranty requirements.
