Ladue yards have big oaks, deep lots, and homes built to stand for generations. Your deck should hold up just as well. Solid Ground provides Deckorators decking installation in Ladue, MO, for homeowners who want a surface that looks sharp for years and needs very little upkeep. We pair rich, wood-like boards with steel framing built for Missouri’s freeze-thaw swings and sticky July afternoons. The result is a deck that stays flat, holds its color, and becomes the spot your family wants to gather.
Your deck should make weekends simpler. With Deckorators decking installation in Ladue, MO, you get boards that resist fading, staining, and moisture so that you can skip annual sanding and sealing. We plan the layout, stairs, and drainage around your home and surrounding trees. Water flows away cleanly, and leaves rinse off without effort. You spend more evenings outside and far less time on chores.
Our composite deck installation process uses board spacing and fasteners matched to St. Louis temperature swings. Deckorators decking stands up to freeze-thaw cycles, spring storms, and heavy humidity without splitting or warping. Your deck stays smooth underfoot from spring through late fall.
Classic brick colonials and contemporary estates look right with premium decking that mimics real hardwood grain. We help you compare decking colors, board widths, and trim options. Then we add railing accessories like post caps and accent lighting, so every detail feels polished and intentional.
Strong deck boards always need a completely solid structural base. We set them over heavy-duty steel framing that won't rot, warp, or sink in clay-heavy soil. Pair that unshakable foundation with a Deckorators decking installation, and you get an outdoor surface engineered to go the distance.
Solid Ground began in 2009 as a family business built on craftsmanship and trust. Tara and Tommy Holstein founded the company as Barefoot Decks. When the family moved back to Missouri, they rebranded as Solid Ground and widened their focus from decks to complete outdoor living spaces.
What began as a one-man operation grew into a true family business. Tommy brings decades of carpentry and sales experience. Tara runs operations with a sharp eye for order and excellence. Their children handle project management, design, and media. Each generation contributes care and pride to every build.
EXCELLENT Based on 57 reviews Posted on Google Jason RezabekTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an outstanding experience with Solid Ground. 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. We couldn’t be happier with the finished deck and highly recommend Solid Ground to anyone looking for quality work and a great experience from start to finish.Posted on Google Dennis WhitesellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Working with Solid Ground was a very positive experience from the beginning to the end of our deck project. From the first moment of working with Tommy on the design, reviewing all of our material options through the demolition of our old deck, and the construction of our new deck, Solid Ground delivered a high-quality experience and product. Griffin and his crew were top-notch! They made sure every detail was covered and that we were completely satisfied with the end result! Ian kept us informed of the progress of our project throughout, which made it easy to keep up with the progress.
