What happens here
Begin by installing the helical piers into the ground. A specialized power head for helical piers is used to rotate the pier into the soil. As the pier is driven, another worker may use a large hammer to assist, ensuring consistent engagement with the ground. Multiple piers are installed in a line to form the foundation supports for the deck.
Goal: Establish a stable foundation for the deck using helical piers.
