You can always sink a steel I or H beam or even a telephone pole and attach 
the guy up at a higher level.
I sold and installed a 150' 45G across the street for a neighbors commercial 
repeater site; his property is only 90' wide. All 3 guys go to elevated H 
beams and havent budged in 18 years with 10-12 20' collinears and a few 
point to point VHF yagis on it.
