What is the best foundation / footing type?

Each foundation type offers its own benefits and best uses. Every hill should be evaluated to determine the best foundation options for its soil type, length, angle of incline and other unique features. We offer a wide range of support components to attach our systems to different foundations types including:
– Step Footings –  Best for ease of layout. Installed By Others.
– Columns / Piers – Best for a clean finished look. Installed By Others.
– I-Beams – Best for spanning large areas and minimizing footings. Installed By Others.
– Helical Screws – Best for sandy and/or loose soils. Installed By Others.
– Hydraulic Piles – Best for speed of install and minimizing concrete. Installed By Hill Hiker.
– Buried Posts – Best if concrete is preferred over hydraulic piles. Installed By Hill Hiker.
