Steps & Staircases

Steps & Staircases

Grade changes in a landscape require steps and staircases to transition from one level to another and to prevent soil erosion. They also add interest to the landscape and can make a statement at an entry, pique curiosity about their destination, or simply provide access to other parts of the landscape. Whatever their purpose - they should be solid, useful and safe.

Getting From Here to There

Step design starts with the style of the landscape and home – to create spaces that blend harmoniously with the rest of the elements in the landscape. Steps and stairs can be made with quarried natural stone, concrete blocks or pavers. They can be decorative, with or without rails, illuminated with low voltage outdoor lighting, edged with plants, curved or straight, with or without landings or tied together with soil-supporting retaining walls.

Built With Safety In Mind

We use the latest techniques in building steps and staircases. Correct sizing is important. The common formula for landscape steps construction is a 6-inch riser and a 13-15 inch tread. However, riser heights from 4 to 7 inches can be used. The relationship between riser and tread should remain constant throughout the entire flight of steps/stairs. Wide steps are perceived as more welcoming and allow side-by-side climbing. Plus, wider steps also allow for container gardens or a private spot to sit.
