Abstract of the Disclosure A method and apparatus for installing an in-ground support footing around subterranean and above-ground portions of an upstanding elongate object, such as a structural pole, post or the like, to enhance structural integrity thereof, includes providing a cylindrical casing of hollow construction having a cutting end concentrically positionable around a lower, above- -ground region of the elongate object so that the cutting end engages the ground. A driver is then positionable about a circumferential portion of the casing means operable for engaging and rotating the casing means about its longitudinal axis while simultaneously imparting a downwardly-directed force against the upper edge of the casing means thereby to drive it in the ground to a predetermined depth. After the driving sequence has occurred, suitable stabilizing filler material is dispensed into a substantial portion of the relatively soil-free annulus which is created between the casing means and the corresponding exterior surface of the elongate object. The above sequence of establishing an in-ground support footing and the apparatus disclosed does not require that the elongate object be modified by replacement or cutting to establish a support footing over a "stump."
