Eco-Friendly Foundations for a Backyard Studio / Shed
We are setting up a prefabricated garden studio/home office and want to keep the foundation as low-impact as possible to protect nearby tree roots. Ground screws were recommended by the building supplier as an eco-friendly alternative to a slab. Since I’m handling the groundwork with a couple of friends over the weekend, what machine should we look for to drive 1.2m to 1.6m screws accurately and level?

Ground screws are the best choice around tree root zones since they displace soil rather than severing root systems like trenching does. To drive 1.2m–1.6m anchors accurately, you definitely need a proper electric or hydraulic ground screw installation unit with digital or spirit level alignment aids. You can check out the equipment selection over at https://iron-mechanics.com/product-category/ground-screw-drivers/ to get an idea of the machinery designed for this depth. It makes keeping the anchors plumb and level simple even for a DIY crew.
