Can I bury cinder blocks and fill with concrete to create a ground anchor for a portable basketball hoop?
I bought one of the basketball hoops that's attached to a wheeled base. I hate how these wobble though, and I don't like the look of the rocks and blocks people put on them to weigh them down.
I'm going to put the base on the lawn just off the driveway. Could I dig a trench on either side, lay in cinder blocks just below ground level, fill them with concrete, and set big screw-eye bolts (with nuts and washers near the bottom to hold them in the concrete), then use straps to hold down the base? Anything wrong with this idea?

yes you can do that. I would use J bolts set in concrete in the hollows of the blocks.
you can use one of these on the J bolt to hold the hoop

No. The government would not permit this.

I think it would be a whole lot simpler to put sand bags on it. You can get what they call tube sand. It is used for back of pick up trucks for traction. It comes in canvas like bags.
