How to level concrete shed base? Gravel?

Hi all

I'm replacing the 4x6 shed at my elderly parents house. It's literally just for mower/garden tools.

There is an existing concrete base but it's not very even, so when I've put the shed floor down there's some bounce in it in different areas.

What's the easiest way to level it off? Three sides are surrounded by gravel boards/brick so I was thinking of a thin layer of small gravel!

It doesn't need to be the perfect fix, just the easiest to be honest!

Thanks
 
Gravel will shift as you walk on it. You would be better boxing it off and re-laying a new slab but obviously you don't want to do that.
Another alternative could be 100mm sharp sand well compacted and then lay a 'floor' of bricks on the sand.
 
Can you not use packers to level the wooden floor on the existing concrete
