Some decks demand a full weekend of sanding every spring. Others need a quick rinse with the garden hose. Solid Ground builds the second kind. Our crew handles TimberTech decking in Ladue, MO, for households who’d rather spend Saturdays unwinding than scraping off old stain. TimberTech’s capped boards hold up against humidity, pollen, and leaves from Ladue’s generous shade trees. We anchor them on a frame engineered for freeze-thaw winters, so the surface stays level, rich in color, and ready for guests.
With TimberTech decking in Ladue, MO, you get a surface that resists fading, mold, and stains without yearly sealing. We design around your home’s layout, slope, and drainage so rainwater runs off the structure and away from your foundation. You select the look. We handle the permits, framing, and construction. Then you enjoy simple cleanup and a deck that ages gracefully.
TimberTech decking comes in capped composite and capped PVC lines. Azek decking is TimberTech's PVC option. It weighs less and handles moisture exceptionally well. We walk you through both so the boards you choose fit your budget, your aesthetic, and how you spend time outside.
St. Louis summers push past 90 degrees, and winters arrive with ice and hard freezes. Quality composite decking handles that range without splitting or rotting. We leave gaps between deck boards for seasonal movement and use hidden fasteners for a smooth, polished finish.
As a TimberTech Platinum contractor and premium deck builder, we install TimberTech to the manufacturer's exact specifications to help protect your warranty. Our steel framing won't rot beneath the boards, so your TimberTech decking in Ladue, MO, can hold up for decades.
Tara and Tommy Holstein launched the company in 2009 as Barefoot Decks. From the very start, the business ran on skilled craftsmanship and earned trust. After the family returned home to Missouri, they renamed it Solid Ground and expanded beyond decks into full outdoor living solutions.
It began as a one-man operation. Today, it’s a genuine family business where everyone contributes. Tommy leads with decades of carpentry and sales know-how. Tara keeps operations organized and focused on excellence. Their kids manage projects, shape designs, and run media, so each generation adds its own care and dedication to the work.
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.

The team from Solid Ground were professional, courteous and did a good job with my deck. The team from Solid Ground tore down and replaced my old deck and now I have a larger, sturdier and great looking deck.

Yes, and most homeowners notice the difference quickly. TimberTech boards resist rotting, splintering, and fading, so you skip the annual sanding and sealing cycle. During your free consultation, Solid Ground can walk you through the long-term cost comparison.
That depends on how much sun your deck receives, your style preferences, and your budget. Solid Ground carries both capped composite and AZEK PVC options and will help you find the product that performs best for your specific yard and climate.
Solid Ground builds every quote around your actual yard, not a generic estimate. Size, board selection, railing style, and framing all factor in. Reach out to our team to schedule a free, no-obligation consultation and get a clear number for your specific project.
