Installation

Step-By-Step Iteration

  • Cutting into the driveway was necessary for the new step system. We wanted to ensure clear, uniform rises for extremely comfortable, safe steps
  • As a result, a wall system was required to retain the steps
  • Corner pieces were hand-chiseled for a beautiful, rough finish

After

Uniform stone steps with a supporting wall

  • Each step has plenty of space for safety
  • A small landing in the middle was installed at the homeowner's request
  • Wall system allowed us to increase the length of the step system
  • Each rise was made uniform to improve comfort and reduce awkward footing.
