Connecting hardscaped levels gracefully requires well-designed steps and staircases that balance safety, durability, and style. Lark Landscape’s hardscaping service offers outdoor steps constructed from natural stone slabs, poured concrete treads, or timber sleepers. Each material choice is informed by site topography, architectural style, and maintenance preferences. We ensure code-compliant riser heights and tread depths, incorporating nosing details and anti-slip finishes to enhance safety in wet conditions. Integrated lighting—LED strips under tread overhangs or in adjacent risers—provides nighttime visibility without additional wiring complexity. Retaining walls or handrails constructed from steel, cable, or composite materials offer structural support and complement step aesthetics. Proper base compaction, drainage provision behind risers, and frost depth excavation guarantee stability through freeze-thaw cycles.
