You can also talk to electrical contractors. I used to get 50ft poles (42ft
AGL) set for about $1500. He handled all the logistics of stocking and
transporting poles. We'd screw the SM on ahead of time with elevation pre-set.
For aligning azimuth the contractor would rotate the pole in the hole for us
before back-filling. If it's something you're doing just every now and again
it might make more sense that way.
If you don't have your own bucket then you'll want to pre-drill for steps and
hammer those in. They're less than $2 each at linemen-tools.com.

I assume you get these poles from the utility company? Can you share how
much?

60 foot utility poles go 8 feet in the ground in our area resulting in a 52
foot above ground option and you can extend that with the pipe to pipe clamp
and some rigid conduit. They are not cheap to get in the ground but I do have
the equipment to do it. The nice thing about them is you can put them in the
right of way with the proper permits. I would not recommend using them for
licensed back holes because they do move substantially at the top in the wind
and makes it very difficult to align them but for 5 GHz they work fine

reach 20-25 ft. I'm looking for 40-50 ft options. Looking to mount Force 300-25
or 450b HG SM's.
