Stay safe without going underground. ARG Outdoor Services installs steel above ground storm shelters on a solid concrete pad in your yard or right inside your garage, so protection is always a few steps away.
At ARG Outdoor Services, we install above ground storm shelters for homeowners across Middle Tennessee. When tornado warnings hit, you should not have to run across the yard and climb down into a dark, damp hole. An above ground steel shelter gives your family a safe room right where you need it, in the backyard, beside the house or inside your garage.
Above ground shelters make sense in our part of Tennessee. Rocky ground and high water tables make underground shelters expensive to dig and prone to flooding. An above ground unit avoids all of that. It installs quickly, stays dry year round, has no stairs to deal with, and can be reached in seconds by everyone in the household.
We handle the whole job. Our crew pours and anchors the concrete pad, sets the steel shelter, checks the door, latch and ventilation, and cleans up the site before we leave. If you want the shelter inside a garage or shop, we can do that too, as long as there is room for the unit and a clear path to the door.
Shelters are available in several sizes and finishes, so there is an option that fits your family and your property. Because we also do land clearing, grading and excavation, we can prepare tough or overgrown sites that other installers turn away.
If you are considering a storm shelter for your home, farm or rural property anywhere in Middle Tennessee, call ARG Outdoor Services for a free on-site assessment. We will help you pick the right size and location and get it installed before the next storm season.




We start with a property visit to review access, grading, drainage, soil conditions, and the best shelter location. Then we explain your options, answer questions, and provide a clear project outline with timing, site preparation needs, and next steps.
Once approved, we schedule the work, pour and anchor the concrete pad, and plan equipment access to protect your yard. Our crew then sets the steel shelter, checks the door, latch and vents, and makes sure everything is level and secure.
After installation, we complete a full walkthrough to confirm the shelter placement, entry access, and overall site condition meet our standards. We finish by handling cleanup, addressing final questions, and making sure you feel confident using and maintaining your new shelter.
Common questions we hear from property owners in Middle Tennessee about storm shelters, installation, safety, pricing, and what to expect when working with ARG Outdoor Services.
We install above ground steel storm shelters. They sit on a concrete pad in your yard or beside your home, or can be placed inside a garage or shop. We focus on above ground units because they stay dry, install quickly and are easy for everyone to get into.
No stairs, no flooding and no digging. Underground shelters in Middle Tennessee often run into rock and groundwater. An above ground shelter avoids those problems and is easier to reach in a hurry, especially for kids, seniors or anyone with mobility concerns.
Yes. Many of our customers choose a garage or shop install so they never have to step outside during a storm. We just need enough clearance for the unit and a clear path to the door.
For outdoor installs, yes. We pour and anchor the pad as part of the job so the shelter has a solid, level base.
Most installs are completed in a day once the concrete pad has cured. We will give you a clear timeline when we quote your project.
Pricing depends on the shelter size, finish and where it is being placed. We provide a clear written quote after a free on-site assessment, so there are no surprises.

Excellent and professional service! Matt Hobbs with ARG got the job done fast and the results were AMAZING! Would recommend ARG to anyone. If you want top notch service call ARG! They are the BEST! 😄
Matt did an excellent job in clearing our property that was overgrown with trees. He came faster than he said and did more than I asked of him. He removed a fence row and when I can in, I expected the brush to be in a pile in the field, but he moved it out of sight. Our fields now look amazing. I would highly recommend Matt and his crew for any of the services he provides!
Matt is professional and genuinely nice. He did my job quickly, exactly as quoted, and it looks great.
