Pole Shed Building Pads in Clear Lake, MN

Pole Shed Building Pads Built to Last


When it comes to constructing a pole shed, everything starts with a properly built building pad. At Imholte Excavation and Septic, we specialize in creating durable, level, and well-drained pole shed building pads that provide the solid foundation your structure needs to stand strong for decades. Serving Sherburne County, MN and the surrounding areas, our team brings over 25 years of experience in excavation, grading, and site preparation to every project.

A high-quality building pad is critical to the performance and longevity of a pole shed. Without proper soil preparation, grading, and compaction, sheds can shift, settle, or develop drainage problems that lead to structural damage. Our process begins with a full evaluation of your property, including soil conditions, slope, and drainage patterns. This allows us to design a pad that not only supports the weight of your building but also keeps water flowing away from the structure.



Our team handles all excavation and earthmoving needed to prepare the site. We remove unsuitable soil, organic material, and debris, then bring in clean, stable fill material when required. Using professional grading equipment, we create a level surface with the proper elevation to protect your pole shed from flooding and erosion. Every pad is built to match the size, layout, and load requirements of your specific building.


Compaction is one of the most important steps in building a reliable pole shed pad. At Imholte Excavation and Septic, we use heavy-duty compaction equipment to ensure the soil and base materials are densely packed and stable. This prevents future settling, which can cause uneven floors, warped doors, and structural stress. Our attention to detail during this phase ensures your building pad remains solid long after construction is complete.


Proper drainage is also a key part of every pad we build. We carefully shape the surrounding ground so water naturally flows away from the building. If needed, we can incorporate ditches, swales, or other drainage solutions to protect your investment. This is especially important in Sherburne County, where seasonal rain and snowmelt can quickly lead to water pooling around improperly prepared pads.


Whether your pole shed is being used for agricultural storage, equipment, vehicles, or a workshop, we tailor each building pad to meet your specific needs. We work closely with property owners and pole barn builders to ensure the pad meets all construction requirements and provides a smooth, efficient build process.


At Imholte Excavation and Septic, we take pride in doing the job right the first time. Our owner-operated, family-run business is built on quality workmanship, honest pricing, and reliable service. When you choose us for your pole shed building pad, you get a team that treats your property like their own and delivers results you can trust.

We moved from Minnesota to Wyoming last year. We had to have Imholte Excavating do our dirt work for our new home’s septic system, foundation and driveway. Marti was happy to help us out. Our driveway is long and steep it withheld our first winter with no problems. We couldn’t be happier with the work! And he took care of everything and made us feel at ease. The pricing came under anything we could find out here even with travel expenses. Imholte Excavating has skiddy will travel!!

The average home owner with a septic system knows next to nothing about it other than it needs to be pumped every few years. That was me. When we needed to replace our system, Marti Imholte was super helpful in walking me through the design and how it would be installed. His bid was super competitive and he was VERY responsive to calls and texts with questions. I have already recommended him to others and will continue to do so!
