Tommy Holstein Finds Solid Ground with New Castle Steel
For Tommy Holstein, a DIY project turned into a lifelong career. In 2009, while designing and building a two-tier cedar deck with his father, Tommy discovered a natural talent for creating beautiful outdoor spaces. Because Tommy built his first decks in flip-flops, using the name Barefoot Deck for his new venture was only fitting. As the company grew and expanded, rebranding to Solid Ground in 2019 only made sense because it captured its full capabilities. We spoke with Tommy about Solid Ground and how they transitioned to using New Castle Steel.
