A concrete pier is a foundation element suitable for many types of structures but most commonly used for timber frame post and beam buildings. A concrete pier typically consists of a round or square concrete pillar supported at the bottom by a footer piece which serves to spread the load carried by the pier. The pier is placed or cast with the footer below the frost line and its top end above the ground surface.
That part of concrete is just a tiny bit of the pier that the grade beams sit on (if you want to see more about the piers on this project, read this). Finally, this is the detached garage on the right and the main house on the left with a walkway in between.
