Stop Digging, Start Building: Why Deck Builders Are Switching to GROUNDFORCE

For years, building a deck meant digging holes, pouring concrete, and waiting for it to cure before you could even start framing. It was slow, messy, and always at the mercy of the weather. Then I tried helical piles, and I’ve never looked back.

Why Traditional Footings Are Holding You Back

If you’ve built decks the old way, you know the routine:

• Dig the holes – hoping you don’t hit rock, roots, or utilities.

• Pour the concrete – if the weather cooperates.

• Wait for it to cure – losing time and money.

• Hope it holds up – no shifting, sinking, or frost heave.

It’s time-consuming, labor-intensive, and full of variables you can’t control.

The Helical Pile Advantage

The first time I used helical piles, I was skeptical. But in under two hours, I had a rock-solid foundation, ready to frame the same day. No digging. No waiting. Just a faster, stronger start.

• Instant load-bearing – No downtime waiting for concrete to set.

• No digging, no mess – Installs in minutes with minimal disruption.

• More reliable – No shifting, sinking, or frost damage over time.

• Works anywhere – Perfect for slopes, bad soil, or tight spaces.

• Year-round installation – No weather delays.

A Smarter Way to Build

Since making the switch, I’ve saved hours on every project, avoided unnecessary headaches, and delivered stronger decks for my clients. Helical piles have changed the way I work—and they can do the same for you.

If you’re still pouring concrete, you’re working too hard. GroundForce Technologies has the piles—you just need to build.
