Ground Screw Installation
Fast, reliable ground screw installation with no digging or concrete. Learn about the equipment and methods for success.
4 Simple Steps
Ground screw installation is faster, cleaner, simpler and less expensive than traditional concrete foundations.
Site Survey & Preparation
Survey the site conditions to determine a plan for the type and number of screws needed, and their location. Ground screws work in most soil conditions including clay, sand and rocky terrain.
Positioning & Preparation
Prepare screw-driving equipment. Pre-drill holes, then manually position ground screws in each marked location.
Driving
Drive ground screws utilizing a level to ensure screws are plumb. The threaded design and downward driver pressure achieves proper ground compression and soil-screw friction for foundation strength.
Attachment
Once the last screw is installed you can immediately load your structure onto the ground screw mounting surfaces. No cure time, no waiting!
