Trailer / Mobile Home Pad Services

A properly prepared trailer pad or mobile home pad is essential for ensuring the stability, longevity, and safety of a mobile home. These pads provide a level, well-compacted surface that prevents shifting, settling, or tilting over time. Without a solid foundation, mobile homes can experience structural damage due to uneven weight distribution, soil erosion, or poor drainage. The construction process typically involves grading the land, adding compacted dirt or gravel, and ensuring the pad is elevated to prevent water pooling around the home.

In addition to structural stability, trailer pads improve drainage and prevent moisture-related issues. A well-built pad helps keep water away from the home’s foundation, reducing the risk of mold, mildew, and foundation deterioration. Many homeowners opt for a gravel or concrete base for added durability and reduced maintenance. Whether for a permanent or temporary mobile home setup, a properly prepared pad is a crucial investment that enhances comfort, safety, and structural integrity.

Best Use for Trailer Pads:

Gravel, compacted clay, or a concrete slab are the best materials for a mobile home pad. Gravel and compacted clay offer good drainage and stability, while concrete provides a permanent and maintenance-free option.
The thickness depends on the soil conditions and type of base used. Generally, a 4- to 6-inch layer of compacted gravel or clay is sufficient, while a concrete pad should be at least 4 inches thick, with thicker edges for added support.
