What to Expect During Above Ground Storm Shelter Installation in Davis
Every above-ground storm shelter installation in Davis, Oklahoma and throughout Murray County is site-specific. Yard layout, surface grade, soil conditions, and access all affect where an above-ground shelter can be safely installed.
Placement is discussed on-site with the homeowner. We install the shelter in the chosen location as long as it allows for proper truck and equipment access, drainage considerations, and long-term stability.
Placement & Leveling
Above-ground storm shelters are installed directly on native ground, as required by the engineered design.
If needed, we scrape and level the installation area at no additional charge.
Each shelter includes a 5-inch poured concrete floor as part of the unit itself. The shelter is designed to be anchored into native soil, rather than bolted to a surface-mounted concrete pad.

Professional installation by Sprague’s Backhoe is included with every above-ground storm shelter. We do not offer wholesale pricing or customer-installed options.
Pricing reflects a complete installation, from delivery and site preparation through final placement and anchoring.
Anchoring & Soil Conditions
Above-ground storm shelters are secured using engineered anchor systems designed for Oklahoma soil conditions. Anchor quantity and placement vary by shelter size and are part of the standard installation process.
In areas like Davis and throughout Murray County, rocky ground conditions are common. We are equipped and prepared to handle these conditions as part of normal installation.
Our shelters are designed to be anchored in all Oklahoma soil types without requiring special site preparation.
We are prepared for the rocky conditions we may face in Murray county.
