Ladue backyards sit on generous lots where a swim spa can become the true centerpiece. At Solid Ground, we build the deck around it so the whole setup works, not just looks good. As builders of swim spa decks in Ladue, MO, we frame for the load, plan the steps, and keep service access clear. We shape every layout so you can swim, soak, and unwind without fighting the space. Cool Missouri mornings and warm summer nights both give you a reason to head out.
A swim spa adds real weight and real value to a Ladue backyard. Our swim spa decks in Ladue, MO, start with footings and framing sized for the load your unit demands. We plan entry steps, cover clearance, and service access around your specific spa model. The wide, wooded lots common in Ladue give us room to create surrounds that feel private, finished, and built to stay.
Swim spa decks carry thousands of pounds once the tank fills. As a spa deck builder, we account for Missouri's clay soil and freeze-thaw swings. Deep footings and tight beam spacing keep your surface level for years, providing dependable support under load.
Custom spa surrounds turn a large tub into a true backyard feature. We add built-in benches, towel ledges, and privacy screens that suit your home. The result rivals high-end swimming pools, with a fraction of the yard space and a polished backyard look.
Smart deck integration means your spa sits at a comfortable height. Guests step in without climbing. There is also room left for cover lifts and service panels. We bring that same thinking to poolside spas and every hot tub project, no matter the Missouri weather or your outdoor layout.
When a project combines a heavy spa with a structure designed to last for years, experience matters. Solid Ground has built with that mindset since 2009, when Tara and Tommy Holstein started what was then Barefoot Decks. After returning to Missouri, they expanded the company and renamed it Solid Ground, reflecting their approach to building strong foundations and lasting outdoor spaces.
That family philosophy continues through every swim spa project. Tommy brings a carpentry background and a practical understanding of structure, materials, and craftsmanship. Tara keeps projects organized and held to a high standard, while their children contribute to design, planning, and media. Each family member brings something meaningful to the finished space.

Swim spa projects bring us across the greater St. Louis area regularly. We’ve planned spa surrounds, load-bearing platforms, and full backyard retreat builds for homeowners in Brentwood, Olivette, Creve Coeur, Sunset Hills, Rock Hill, Frontenac, University City, Crestwood, and Town and Country. Each site has its own grade, drainage, and access needs, and we factor all of that in before we lay a single board.
