Building Decks and a Legacy

Every great business has a beginning—but few start with a green Ford Taurus, a minivan packed with tools and toddlers, and two former paramedics on a mission to transform outdoor living.

Meet Michael and Meredith, the husband-and-wife team behind Hometown Decking and Decorative Concrete, whose journey from emergency responders to construction pros is as inspiring as it is authentic.

From Saving Lives to Enhancing Them

It all started in Austin, where Michael and Meredith met working in emergency medical services. Their shared dedication to service and community quickly evolved into a strong personal bond—one that would eventually lead them into a new calling: building beautiful outdoor spaces for families to connect, relax, and create memories.

With Michael’s eye for craftsmanship and Meredith’s steady leadership and business skills, the two launched what would become Hometown Decking—not just a business, but a labor of love built on hard work, integrity, and homegrown Texas grit.

Minivan. Mission. Momentum.

In the early days, the company’s fleet consisted of a salvaged Taurus and a family minivan, often filled with ladders, lumber, and the joyful chaos of their kids. Job sites doubled as playgrounds, and every finished deck marked not just a completed project, but a milestone in their dream.

And those dreams kept growing. What started with two people and a vision has grown into a full-scale operation with an assistant, manager, project manager, and multiple dedicated crews—now serving over 5,000 completed projects across Central Texas.

Outdoor Living, Elevated

From elegant patios and custom decks to stamped concrete, decorative finishes, and backyard showpieces, Hometown Decking and Decorative Concrete brings skill, creativity, and care to every job. Their work isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about creating foundations for family life that last for generations.

What makes them different? The same passion that drove them in the EMS world fuels their dedication to client care today. They show up, they listen, they problem-solve—and they pour heart into every build.

A Legacy of Service and Craftsmanship

Today, Hometown Decking is more than a successful business. It’s a living story of resilience, community, and the power of partnership. And while the Taurus and the minivan have been replaced by a fleet of trucks, the mission hasn’t changed: to help families live better—outside.

So whether you dream of a serene backyard retreat or the ultimate hosting space, know this: when you hire Hometown Decking, you’re not just hiring builders. You’re joining a legacy started by two paramedics, a pile of lumber, and an unwavering belief in the power of home.
