Pads and footings that carry the roof.

- Footings: Sized to plans and code
- Pad: Pavers or concrete
- Anchors: Set for posts and columns
What it is, and why it matters.
A pergola or pavilion is only as stable as what holds it up. We lay out footings to the post spacing, pour or set them to the depth your area requires, tie them to a level pad of pavers or concrete and leave anchor points for the builder. When we work with your carpenter or kit supplier, columns, beams and patio all line up on day one.
Around Nashville, soil, wind and local code decide footing size. We follow the structure's plans and local requirements, and we plan drainage so water runs away from posts and the structure stays dry.
Four things done right.

Level and square
Everything lines up for the builder.
