Make a sustainable choice for a streamlined construction process. When Stop Digging lays the foundations for your construction, it only takes a fraction of the time it would have taken to dig down concrete blocks. We offer completely ready-made foundations for many different types of construction projects, such as sheds, wooden decks, site units, panels and barriers. Ground screws are also a climate-friendly alternative – something that is increasingly in demand from both private customers and in public procurement.

Our screws

Stop Digging is a Swedish company that designed and developed the ground screw: a modern and cost-effective ground anchor for both large and small construction projects. Our business ethos is not only to provide a high-quality product but to deliver and install it to the highest professional standard, saving you work, time and money. Stop Digging will take your idea from the page and create a strong and stable foundation for you to complete your project.

HOW OUR GROUND SCREWS WORK IN FOUNDATIONS

1

PLAN YOUR CONSTRUCTION PROJECT – BOOK IN AN INSTALLATION

Contact us when you start planning your construction project so that you can avoid mixing concrete blocks and heavy excavation right from the start. We’ll find the best solution and give you a cost estimate. Then you can take your measurements, add up all the materials you need and go to your building materials supplier. When you’re ready we can set a date for the installation.

2

OUR INSTALLATIONS GO QUICKLY AND SMOOTHLY

When it’s time, we will come to you and install everything you need. We pre-drill the ground to the right depth depending on the screws to be used. This helps the screws to stand as straight as possible, achieving the greatest possible capacity for the ground. Any smaller rocks can be broken down. The equipment is light and portable and won’t wreck your garden.

3

THE LAST SCREW IS IN PLACE – START BUILDING!

Stop Digging installs your foundation quickly and the moment we have placed the last screw, you, or someone else, can start building. You don’t have to wait for concrete to harden and don’t need to think about replacing the ground around the screws. If you’re itching to get started, just go for it!

*Stop Digging stipulates an estimated minimum lifetime for its ground screws. The amount reflects the number of years an installed screw is expected to fulfill its technical purpose under normal conditions, and is based on many years of experience and research.

GROUND SCREWS VS CONCRETE FOUNDATION POSTS

SIMPLE, QUICK AND MORE SUSTAINABLE. GROUND SCREWS WORK LIKE CONCRETE FOUNDATION POSTS, BUT BETTER.

Fast, stylish, cheap, durable, climate-friendly – just pick your benefit. The advantages of ground screws are many, but above all it’s the reduction in time and effort: You don’t have to transport and dig down heavy concrete supports, or alternatively, cast your own supports and wait until they harden. Stop Digging’s ground screws shouldn’t be confused with simple earth anchors from the construction trade that you place in the ground yourself. We install the ground screws for you quickly and professionally, using our special machines. Then you have a stable foundation and can immediately start building.

WE SIMPLIFY YOUR FOUNDATION WORK

GROUND SCREW, EARTH SCREW, SCREW ANCHOR, EARTH ANCHOR OR PIER ANCHOR – THIS SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE FOUNDATION HAS MANY NAMES.

Stop Digging’s ground screw works the same way as a concrete post or pier block, whilst outperforming it across the board. With our helical screws, you can quickly and easily set out a stable foundation and begin construction immediately. Our ground screw is the best solution for supporting wooden decks, sheds, greenhouses, conservatories, carports or other structures such as flagpoles, signs or fences. Stop Digging offers a range of screws in different models and sizes to cater to whatever building project you have in mind, and on whatever terrain. Whether the ground is soft or hard, our screws are fully functional when installed and there is no need to waste time waiting for wet concrete to set.
