    A possibility for a smaller ballasted ground mount system is the
    Sunmodo Sunturf mount. It is difficult to find info on their website
    but you will find the Sunturf mount in the catalog and the
    configuration too. This mount can be installed on cast in place
    piers, earth screws, or concrete eco-blocks. I installed a couple of
    these a few years ago: one on a large engineered concrete pad and
    another on cast in place concrete blocks (similar to but smaller
    than eco-blocks). It takes a lot of anchor screws.<br>

              and then locally sourced river rock is added via skid
              steer.  The RBI product uses huge, pre-cast concrete block
              that get formed at a nearby facility and then are set into
