Why Choose Ground Screws?

Ground screws are the modern alternative to traditional foundations. Faster, cleaner, and the only option safe for protected trees.

Zero Excavation

No digging, no skips, no mess. Ground screws are driven directly into the earth — your garden stays intact.

Same-Day Installation

Your structure can go on the same day. No curing time, no waiting — installed and ready by the afternoon.

Tree-Root Friendly

The ONLY base type safe for TPO-protected trees. No excavation means no root damage within Root Protection Areas.

Fully Reversible

Remove the screws and restore your lawn to its original state. Ideal for rented land or temporary installations.

Works on Slopes

Adjustable height on each screw head allows perfect levelling across any gradient — no expensive excavation needed.

Craig Phillips

The Future of Garden Foundations

"Ground screws are the future of garden foundations. No mess, no concrete, no waiting — and they're the only option that protects tree roots. I've seen the difference they make on sites where nothing else would work: tight access, steep slopes, TPO-protected trees. If you've been told your garden is 'too difficult' for a proper base, give me a call. Ground screws are probably the answer."

Ground Screw FAQs

Galvanised steel screws driven directly into the ground using specialist machinery, creating instant foundation points. A timber frame is then bolted to the screw heads to form a perfectly level platform for your structure. No excavation, no concrete, and no curing time required.
