Poured piers and footings for decks, porches, pergolas and sheds, set to depth with post anchors in exact position.
A deck is only as steady as the footings under its posts. Footings carry the load into the soil, resist frost and keep posts from sinking, tilting or lifting. Too small or too shallow, and a deck moves with the seasons, pulls on the ledger and eventually fails. Footing size and depth depend on the deck load and the soil, and a Nashville yard with clay or fill soil may call for larger footings than you might expect.
We lay out the post locations from your plan, dig round holes with an auger or square pits by hand and check the bottoms for firm soil. Forms such as cardboard tubes keep the shape clean, and the concrete is poured and consolidated. Post anchors or J-bolts are set in the wet concrete at exact locations and heights, so beams sit level and square. We coordinate with deck builders and inspectors so footings pass the first time. We confirm depth, diameter and spacing against the plan and the frost line before pouring, and we leave the tops ready for the post bases or brackets your builder or carpenter will use.
Diameter and depth follow the load, the soil and local requirements, not a one-size rule.
We check each hole and dig deeper when the soil is soft.
Hardware is set precisely so posts and beams line up with no force-fitting.
Layout and heights are marked so framing can begin right away.

You tell us about your site and what you want, new concrete, a repair or a refresh, and we set a visit that fits your day.
We walk the property, measure the area, check drainage, soil and access, look at any old concrete and take photos of anything of note.
We explain your options for thickness, steel, finishes and colors, sketch the layout and give you a written scope with clear timing and pricing.
We arrange for underground utilities to be located, protect the house, lawn and landscaping, remove old concrete if needed and compact a stone base.
We set forms and steel, check heights and slopes, place and finish the concrete and cut joints, with the crew on site from the first truck to the last pass.
We protect the concrete as it cures, clean up the site, walk you through when to use it and seal it, and set a reminder for your next check.
They must go below the frost depth and onto firm soil. Local rules set the minimum, and we follow them.
It depends on the load on each post and the soil. Larger decks need larger footings.
