Enhancing Your Outdoor Space

Patio Steps to Lawn

With our hardscaping services, your home can sport beautifully designed steps that create a seamless transition from your patio to the lawn. These small changes elevate your backyard and give it a defined, intentional look, raising your home's value overall.

Paver Landing

A paver landing is a great way to create a sturdy and attractive landing area. Our favorite design technique is trimming your pavers with bluestone while allowing them to match the rest of your hardscaping.

Lawn Stairs

Perfect for properties with sloped lawns, stairs make it easier to traverse different levels. There's no need to carefully balance down a slope, and patio steps help define the slopes in your backyard.

Backyard Stairs to Patio

Don't leave the final link undone. Connecting your backyard stairs to your patio adds that final layer of elegant hardscaping and makes your backyard that much more welcoming.

The Best Materials for Outdoor Stairs

Choosing the right material for your custom outdoor stairs is an important part of ensuring the longevity and appearance of your outdoor stairs. Whether you choose to go with exterior brick stairs, bluestone stairs, or a mix of pavers, knowing what your options are and why they exist can help you make the right decisions. Here are some popular options and an explanation of why people choose them for their outdoor living hardscaping.

Bluestone

Bluestone is our favorite for landings due to its durability and natural beauty. We often use bluestone to border the landing, filling the middle with matching pavers to create a cohesive look.

Pavers

Pavers are versatile and come in various colors, shapes, and sizes. They are a popular choice for custom outdoor stairs and paver landings. We can match pavers to the rest of your hardscaping and trim your paver selection in bluestone.

Brick

Exterior brick stairs offer a classic look and are extremely durable, making them a great long-term investment. It might also remind you of a bygone past, but that is a reminder of how durable it is.

Concrete

Concrete is highly durable and can be molded into various shapes and designs. It’s a cost-effective option for large projects. It's also simple -- sometimes, too simple.

Wood

While wooden stairs offer a natural and rustic appeal, they require additional maintenance to prevent weather damage, rot, and termites.
