Ladue’s canopy-covered lots and stately brick homes don’t leave much room for a deck that looks tired after a single season. At Solid Ground, we install Evalast composite decking in Ladue, MO, for families who want boards that keep their color through Missouri’s harshest freeze-thaw swings and stay just as sharp three summers from now. You get clean rows, precise borders, and a capped surface that handles real backyard life without the upkeep wood demands.
Ladue homes carry a kind of quiet confidence in their brick facades, mature oaks, and well-kept yards. Your deck should match that same standard. Evalast brings crisp edges, a natural grain finish, and a protective capped surface that won’t fade or soften under Missouri’s seasonal extremes. We install Evalast composite decking in Ladue, MO, with hidden fasteners, careful spacing, and clean border framing chosen to suit your home’s existing character. We set every row to stay true through years of cookouts, cold snaps, and everything in between.
Evalast decking looks its best when every row runs true. We snap layout lines, frame the edges with picture-frame borders, and make each cut clean and precise. Your finished surface pairs well with Ladue's classic brick, stone, and painted trim.
Kids, pets, chairs, and storms all test a deck. Capped composite decking holds up to stains and moisture far better than bare wood. We also leave gaps between deck boards for seasonal movement, so they stay flat through St. Louis heat and frost.
Low-maintenance decks free up the hours you'd normally spend sanding and staining. Evalast boards need only an occasional wash with mild soap. Under Ladue's leafy tree canopy, that easy care keeps your deck ready for coffee, cookouts, and quiet evenings.
Since Tara and Tommy Holstein founded Solid Ground in 2009 as Barefoot Decks, the family has built the business around careful planning and quality craftsmanship. After returning to Missouri, they expanded into complete outdoor living design. Today, Tara keeps projects organized, Tommy brings decades of carpentry experience, and their children contribute to design and coordination. That family approach carries through every Evalast decking project, from the first board sample to the final row.
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.

We had an excellent experience with the Solid Ground team. Ian, Griffin, and Jakob came out to perform maintenance on our Apollo pergola at our new home, and they were outstanding from start to finish. The entire team was professional, punctual, knowledgeable, and collaborative. They took the time to explain what they were doing, answered our questions, and completed the work with great attention to detail. Their craftsmanship and commitment to quality were evident throughout the entire process. What impressed us most was their willingness to go above and beyond what was required. It’s refreshing to work with a team that genuinely cares about doing the job right and serving their customers well. Thank you, Ian, Griffin, and Jakob, for your hard work and excellent service.

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. We would highly recommend Solid Ground for any deck or patio project!Posted on Google Sarah HinesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

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. It was a pleasure to work with Tommy, Tara, Ian and Colin.Posted on Google Michael MaggioTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The crew at Solid Ground are top notch.
