Ladue’s homes are known for their character, and the best decks should match it. Built-in benches, thoughtful lighting, sleek railings, and fire features are the kind of details that make an outdoor space feel truly finished, not just functional. At Solid Ground, we add deck features in Ladue, MO, that raise the comfort and style of your existing deck without overwhelming what’s already there. We fit each upgrade to your home’s personality, so every addition earns its place.
Ladue’s mature oaks and classic brick exteriors set a high bar for outdoor design, and we measure every feature against it. Our deck features in Ladue, MO, bring sharp, purposeful touches without crowding your footprint. From board inlays and privacy screens to fire features and rail lighting, we choose each element around your yard’s shade pattern, grade, and how you actually spend your evenings outside. We also offer steel framing for decks that need a stronger, longer-lasting base.
Smart deck upgrades keep your space useful long after dark. We install step lights, post caps, and rail lighting that guide guests safely. Add a fire feature or built-in seating, and cool Missouri evenings become the best time to relax comfortably outside with friends and family.
No two families use a deck the same way. Our custom deck features reflect your habits, from planter boxes for gardeners to wide steps for kids. Board inlays and picture-frame borders made from composite wood add a signature look that's all yours while fitting your outdoor space.
Freeze-thaw swings and humid summers wear down weak materials fast. We pair deck enhancements with trusted options like Trex composite boards and TimberTech decks that resist fading and moisture. These outdoor features keep their finish with little more than an occasional rinse.
Every deck feature we install carries the same standard Tara and Tommy Holstein set when they founded this company in 2009. Back then, it was called Barefoot Decks, and the focus was simple: do careful work and treat every client right. When the family returned to Missouri, they renamed it Solid Ground and widened their scope to cover every corner of outdoor living, from board selection to the last railing detail.
That same hands-on approach shows up in every detail we add to a deck. Tommy’s carpentry background means he understands how features come together structurally, not just visually. Tara’s eye for organization keeps each project on track from the first design conversation to the final walkthrough. Their children bring a fresh perspective to the creative side of every build, from board inlays to lighting placement. Every detail gets the full attention of a family that genuinely cares how it turns out.
