Why Choose Us
What Ground Screw Installation Is and Why Utah Builders Use It
Ground screws are galvanized steel foundation posts that thread directly into the soil, much like a giant screw driving into wood. There's no digging, no forms, no mixing, and no waiting days for concrete to set, so decks, pergolas, and fence posts get stable footing anchored the same day you start the job.
For Utah properties sitting on expansive clay, rocky fill, or ground that heaves through winter freeze and thaw, ground screws give you a footing that adjusts to load without cracking or shifting the way a poured pad sometimes can. That makes them a strong match for deck construction, pergola installation, and fence installation projects where a fast, clean start matters.
We carry ground screws for homeowners tackling their first backyard project and for contractors running a full crew who need reliable footing without the cost or delay of concrete work.
Key Benefits of Ground Screws
Ground screws solve a lot of the headaches that come with traditional concrete footings, especially on Utah lots with tricky soil or tight timelines. They're also a practical alternative to helical pier installation on lighter structures where a smaller diameter screw foundation gets the job done.
- Install in minutes per post instead of days for concrete to cure
- No excavation, spoil removal, or messy job site cleanup
- Adjustable after install for fine-tuning height and level
- Removable and reusable if a project ever needs to relocate
- Rated for deck, pergola, and fence post loads across various soil types
- Resistant to frost heave common in Utah's freeze thaw cycles

How It Works
Our Ground Screw Installation Process
Ground screws move fast, but getting the layout and specs right up front is what makes them perform for years. Here's how a typical project runs from first visit to finished footing.
- 1
Site and Soil Review
We walk your layout, check soil conditions, and confirm ground screws are the right foundation choice for your deck, pergola, or fence run.
- 2
Screw Selection and Spec
We match screw length, diameter, and load rating to your structure, whether that's a small fiberglass pergola or a full deck substructure.
- 3
Driving and Leveling
Screws are driven to depth with a rotary head or hand tool, then adjusted for height and level before any framing goes on top.
- 4
Framing and Finish
Once footings are set, our team or your crew builds out the deck, fence posts, or pergola frame directly on the leveled screw heads.
