No More Digging

No More Digging offers an alternative to traditional concrete foundations: steel screws driven into the ground to support structures without extensive trenching. The company works through a network of installation teams across the United Kingdom and coordinates services that can range from an initial site assessment to installation and custom subframe fabrication. It is not a materials store or a contractor with one local crew; the project location determines which team is involved.

The company lists applications such as garden rooms, log cabins, home extensions, decks, boardwalks, temporary structures, and solar panel supports. Ground screws can be useful on sloped, soft, or hard-to-reach sites and on projects where excavation would significantly disturb a garden, tree roots, or the surrounding area. Suitability depends on soil conditions and design loads, so the company offers surveys and testing before specifying a system.

The process can begin with a site visit, a load assessment, and a layout for the supports. The team then selects screw types and lengths and, when needed, a custom timber or steel subframe. Installation uses powered equipment; by avoiding excavation and concrete, the work can reduce earthmoving and preparation time, although the actual schedule depends on the site and project size.

For solar installations, No More Digging also offers racking systems and anchoring solutions that connect the screws to the panel structure. On lightweight buildings, a subframe can adjust levels and geometry, which is particularly useful on sloped or uneven ground. These systems are designed for individual projects, so a standard setup should not be assumed to fit every site or structure.

Case studies published by the company illustrate the range of work. At the National Library of Wales, its team installed supports for a solar array; other documented projects include boardwalks, tree-protection areas, extensions, and garden buildings. The company also describes a clubhouse in Greenhithe built on sloping ground, where it combined screws of different lengths with a timber subframe. These are examples of applications, not a guarantee that the same design will suit another property.

The brand is part of RADIX Group and supplies RADIX ground screws alongside installation. Its services include site surveys, static load testing, supply and installation, subframe design, and solar racking. The nationwide network allows customers in different parts of the UK to request an assessment; the installer pages help identify the partner team associated with each area.

The main decision when comparing this system with concrete is technical: soil type, loads, slope, equipment access, and the structure being supported all affect the specification. No More Digging presents ground screws as a lower-intervention option with a fast installation process, but each site should be assessed and tested. For customers, that combination of design, testing, and installation makes this a foundation solution rather than simply a screw purchase.
