WELCOME TO AMERICAN GROUND SCREW

Our ingenious system is a better choice all around, minimizing the hassle, expense and impact of foundation work.

American Ground Screw was established in Des Moines, Iowa, by the founders of a family-owned global manufacturer of ground screw systems. With our national sales and distribution network, American Ground Screw brings those high-quality products to U.S. customers with manufacturer-direct pricing and excellent customer service.

American Ground Screw’s factory has been at the forefront of ground screw manufacturing since 2006. We are now one of the world’s largest producers of ground screws, serving demanding wholesale and retail customers across Europe and now North America. Our manufacturing facilities employ over 150 workers and cover 200,000 square feet of steel welding, coating, and packaging workshops.

Easy
Get to the finish line faster.

Ground screws save you time and effort. With state-of-the-art products and easy-to-use tools, you can install structural foundations in just a few minutes. Simply mark the location, drive the screw, and start building — with no digging, re-grading, removing soil, or waiting to pour concrete.

Cost-Effective
Reduce your cost of labor and materials.

Build strong with a fraction of the budget required for poured concrete footings. Anchoring and building projects can now be accomplished with fewer hands, fewer materials and less specialized labor. And because there are no demolition or recycling costs for removal, you save money on the back end as well.

Sustainable
Minimize waste and impact.

Concrete foundation work has a large environmental footprint: from wear and tear on the landscape to machinery emissions to the impact of demolition later. Our reusable and removable solution virtually eliminates environmental damage to meet your building needs and your sustainability goals.

Customized
Let us design a system to fit your project.

When you need a foundation outside the standard selection, talk to us. With our in-house design and manufacturing capabilities, we can deliver custom solutions at a very reasonable cost. Whether you need specialized attachments or screws for complicated surface types, we provide proactive guidance to make your project a success.
