A stabilizer for an in-ground member includes: a mounting collar having a channel extending therethrough; a plurality of arms having respective collar ends, the collar ends being adapted to extend through the channel and engage with the mounting collar; and a resilient member being sized (a) to be disposed within the channel between the collar ends and (b) to be engaged by the in-ground member so as to urge the resilient member against the collar ends to force the collar ends against the mounting collar, whereby to rigidify the stabilizer. A method for installing an in-ground member into the ground to dispose a portion thereof beneath the surface of the ground and to leave a portion thereof extending above the surface of the ground, the method includes: providing a mounting collar having a channel extending therethrough and a plurality of arms having respective collar ends; inserting the collar ends through the channel of the mounting collar so that the collar ends engages with the mounting collar; inserting a resilient member into the channel of the mounting collar so that the resilient member supports the collar ends, the resilient member having a bore; engaging the in-ground member with the resilient member; and driving the plurality of arms into the ground.
