Tallinn's #1 terrace builder
Terrace construction and care in Saue
Terrassiehitus Tallinn builds timber and composite terraces, installs frost-resistant screw pile foundations in clay soil, and constructs shelters in Saue. We also repair older terraces, from established plots in Saue town to newer housing areas in Laagri and Alliku. By the end of 2025, we had completed 109 jobs in Saue town and parish: 63 construction projects and 46 oiling or repair jobs.
On Saue clay soil, we build terraces on screw piles, because the block laid on the ground rises here every winter. Carrier beams and screw piles arrive from our Peetri warehouse to Saue on a trailer with a crew.

Clay soil and frost heave in Saue
Saue's clay heaves when it freezes. A concrete block laid directly on it can rise 3 cm over winter and fail to settle back in spring, leaving an older terrace tilted at one corner. We measure the slope with a digital level and replace heaved blocks with screw piles whose helical plates sit below frost depth. We have moved eight such terraces onto screw piles in Saue.
Clay heave is worst where rainwater collects beneath a terrace. On Saue sites, we direct roof and terrace runoff into a crushed-stone soakaway. The crew leader records each pile's helical plate at a depth of 1.5 m.
Our services in Saue
From Saue's older garden neighbourhoods to its new housing areas, clay conditions shape each foundation. We assess the soil before quoting for any of our six terrace services.
Wooden Terrace Construction
In Saue's garden neighbourhoods, we can build decking around an established tree, leaving 10 cm between the trunk and boards for growth. The written care instructions explain that the opening should be widened every five years.
Composite Terrace Construction
Colour selection matters for composite decking: the same board can look darker on the north side of a house than the south. We bring three samples to the customer in Saue and leave them on the terrace for a week so they can choose in the site's actual light.
Terrace Foundation
We use screw piles on Saue clay because water can collect in an excavated block pit and freeze beneath the block. Our two-person installation crew works together: one operates the pile driver while the other watches the torque meter. The crew leader checks each pile's record before fitting the beams.
Terrace Oiling and Maintenance
Clay retains spring moisture, so Saue terraces may take longer to dry than those on sand. We oil only when a moisture meter reads below 18%; oil applied to damp wood would sit on the surface instead of soaking in.
Construction of shelters
For a shelter beside an existing garage, we flash the joint between the garage wall and the new roof and slope the roof away from the garage by 1.5 cm per metre.
Terrace Repair
We level an older terrace when frost heave has pushed one corner more than 1 cm per metre out of level. We also secure the beam beside the house with new bolts if the movement has pulled its old fixing from the wall.

Free site surveys in Saue
Central Saue is 28 km from our Peetri warehouse, around 30 minutes by van via the Tallinn ring road. Site surveys and quotes are free throughout Saue and the rest of Harju County, with no travel charge.
We move the pile driver across garden lawns on plywood boards to avoid ruts. On narrow streets, we park the trailer at the roadside and carry beams by hand through gates as narrow as 90 cm.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does terrace construction cost in Saue?
An 18 m² composite terrace in Saue starts at €2,682, based on €149/m². The boards carry a 25-year manufacturer warranty. We include the opening and curved cuts around a tree in the quote after the free site survey, rather than adding them later.
Can you survey a Saue site in the evening?
Yes. We can survey a Saue site and make a hand-auger test hole on weekday evenings until 19:00. Construction work takes place on weekdays.
Where in Saue do you build terraces?
We build in Saue town and its garden neighbourhoods, Laagri, Alliku, Vanamõisa, Hüüru, Ääsmäe and other villages in Saue Parish. On newer sites in Laagri and Alliku, we probe the fill; in older gardens, we first check clay depth with a test hole.
When can construction begin in Saue?
We reply on the same working day and begin pile installation no later than the 14th working day after an order is confirmed. An 18 m² composite terrace in Saue takes three working days: piles and beams on day one, battens on day two, then decking, edge trims and cleanup on day three.
