Set along the scenic bluffs of Missouri Wine Country, Augusta homes deserve custom outdoor spaces that blend naturally into the surrounding vineyard views and steep valley slopes. At Solid Ground, we deliver exactly that. As custom deck builders in Augusta, MO, we plan, design, and build decks that fit your home, your lot, and your lifestyle. Our team brings professional deck work, thoughtful planning, and clear communication to every project, whether you’re after a quiet morning retreat or a space built for hosting.
Your outdoor space deserves a purpose beyond basic decking. As custom deck builders in Augusta, MO, we craft personalized layouts built for effortless cooking, entertaining, and outdoor relaxation. Because Augusta’s proximity to the Katy Trail features unique hillside slopes and uneven lot lines, we thoroughly assess your land before construction to ensure seamless integration. We match materials to Missouri’s hot summers and icy winters, so your deck stays strong for years. We also check local building codes before we build, keeping your deck project safe and above board from start to finish.
You bring the vision, and we bring it to life. As luxury deck builders in Augusta, MO, we look at your yard's grades, your home's lines, and your lifestyle before drawing a single plan. The deck we build won't feel like an add-on; it feels like it was always there right from the start.
Forget staining every spring. For a high-end deck installation in Augusta, MO, homeowners can depend on composite boards built to hold their look through wet seasons and summer heat. We measure twice and space boards precisely for fast drainage and firm footing.
Your yard has more to offer than a lawn. Pergolas, shade structures, and covered outdoor rooms connect directly to your deck, giving you places to dine, lounge, or sit with friends and family alike while the breeze moves through on a warm Augusta evening.
A deck without details is just a platform. Built-in benches, planters, screens, and storage are planned into the layout from the start, not bolted on later. Each feature pulls its weight for maximum daily comfort and convenience and keeps the deck looking clean and intentional.
When a yard drops or rises, a single flat deck rarely tells the whole story. We build layered platforms with dedicated zones for cooking, sitting, and gathering, then tie them together with stairs and landings that feel natural to walk through for smooth, comfortable outdoor traffic flow.
Water and weight together demand more from a deck frame. We engineer the surround to handle heavy tub water loads, build in slip-resistant surfaces, and route any electrical connections through licensed pros who pull the right permits for a clean, safe install.
Armadillo boards resist scratches, stains, and warping through hot and cold spells. Recommended by our premium backyard deck company, this product earns its place in Augusta's climate, standing firm through summer UV and winter freeze cycles without losing its grip or its color.
Eva-Last boards look like real timber but behave like a product designed for modern weather conditions. They resist moisture and fading and harsh, direct sunlight damage, so you skip yearly sealing while keeping that timber beauty season after season without extra maintenance.
Deckorators use mineral-based technology for firm footing and stable boards providing unmatched long-term durability. The boards don't shift the way wood can during freeze-thaw cycles, and they run cooler underfoot than many alternatives, even after a full afternoon of Missouri sun.
Timbertech has a track record for color retention and scratch resistance that makes it one of our most requested products. The capped boards resist fading, staining, and scratches under daily family use, so your deck maintains its sharp look with almost no intervention from you.
Bugs and pollen don't have to cut your evenings short. A framed screen enclosure keeps the outdoors out while you stay in providing reliable shelter from the elements, and we design each one to look like a natural continuation of your deck rather than a structure bolted onto it.
A patio cover changes how often you use your yard, giving you a comfortable, shaded retreat. We seamlessly tie covers into your existing roofline to handle heavy rain and bright sun, applying the same precision our custom pool deck builders bring to every project.
Louvered pergolas put you in control of your outdoor environment. Tilt the slats open when you want direct sun, close them down when a cloud rolls in from the west, giving you effortless protection in seconds. The modern frame elevates the whole deck and works well year-round.
Some homeowners want a deck that stops people mid-step. Custom deck inlays do exactly that with striking visual detail. We plan borders, medallions, and contrasting patterns into the build so every cut lands clean and the finished floor looks intentional from every angle.
Darkness shouldn't end the night on your deck. We install stair lights, rail accents, and post cap lighting that sets the right mood long into the evening hours and keeps every step safe. Wiring is handled by licensed pros so your low-voltage setup stays safe and built to last.
The right rail system finishes a deck the way trim finishes a room. We offer cable, metal, glass, and composite rails that meet code and frame your view, and we set each run tight and level with complete precision and accuracy so nothing wobbles and everything lines up.
A fire feature extends your deck season well past the point where most people head inside into the cool late evenings. We build fire pits and fireplaces that anchor an outdoor space, and any gas line work is handled by a licensed plumber with the proper permits in place.
Wood frames rot. They warp. They invite insects. Steel framing sidesteps all of that, giving your deck a straight, strong base that holds its shape through every freeze-thaw cycle and carries heavy outdoor kitchens without any give over time for decades of total reliability.
A proper outdoor kitchen turns your deck into the place everyone wants to be for smooth outdoor entertaining. We plan counter space, storage, and grill placement so the cooking zone flows naturally into the rest of the deck. Gas connections go through licensed pros every time.
Tara and Tommy Holstein started Solid Ground back in 2009 under a different name. Barefoot Decks was Tommy’s one-man carpentry operation, built on handshake trust and quality framing. When the family returned to Missouri and the work grew, they rebranded as Solid Ground to match the broader scope of what they were building: full outdoor living spaces, not just decks. Today, Tara keeps operations running with sharp organization, Tommy leads the craft and the sales process, and their kids handle design, project management, and the media side. It’s still a family business in every real sense of the word.

They helped us design and build a beautiful deck on our home this winter, and the results exceeded every expectation. Our project wasn’t simple — we had an existing roofline that created some unknowns — but their team handled every challenge with professionalism and creativity. They worked alongside us throughout the process, adjusting and refining the design as needed to make sure the final product was exactly what we wanted. Their craftsmanship is excellent, and just as importantly, they’re wonderful people with a wonderful crew.
