Claim 19:
20. A method of stabilizing a portion of soil, the method comprising the steps of:
inserting a stabilizer to a first distance into the ground, the stabilizer comprising a hollow body and a plurality of extensions extending from the hollow body;
aligning a pipe within the hollow body of the stabilizer, the pipe comprising a first end, a second end, and a sidewall extending therebetween, the sidewall defining a hollow shaft and comprising a plurality of anti-rotational supports extending between a first end and a second end along at least a portion of a length of the sidewall, the plurality of anti-rotational supports being configured to prevent rotation of the pipe;
driving the first end of the pipe into the ground a second distance, the second distance greater than the first distance, such that at least a portion of the sidewall and at least a portion of the plurality of anti-rotational supports are slidably received within the stabilizer; and
applying a cap to the second end of the pipe remaining above ground,
wherein the hollow shaft of the pipe, the hollow body of the stabilizer, and a receiving portion of the cap are coaxial, the receiving portion being configured to receive the second end of the pipe therein, and
wherein, after the driving step, the anti-rotational supports extend at least partially into the ground.
