Spun concrete is quite popular around here for new installations.

We just leave Ian with the shovel and he "landscapes" everything. All it needs is a couple of boxwoods planted around it.
Concrete poles are awesome. Only downside is they are heavy as sin and require a pole trailer that supports the entire length of the pole.

I'm assuming concrete poles have steel reinforcement? Concrete is incredibly strong in compression, but I can't imagine unreinforced concrete could take much bending before fracture.

If I'd have gone for civil engineering instead of mechanical I'd probably have known that.
