Why Choose Paver Stairs & Steps?
Choosing paver stairs and steps brings both beauty and practicality to your outdoor landscape. Paver stairs are available in a variety of colors, shapes, and textures, allowing you to create a visually appealing transition between different levels of your yard or garden. They offer exceptional durability, standing up to heavy foot traffic and weather conditions without cracking or deteriorating. Paver steps provide a non-slip surface, enhancing safety while adding a touch of elegance to your outdoor space.
Additionally, individual pavers can be easily replaced if damaged, ensuring that your stairs remain attractive and functional over time. With their blend of aesthetic versatility, strength, and easy maintenance, paver stairs and steps are an ideal solution for enhancing the accessibility and style of your outdoor areas.
Paver Steps Construction
We install our steps according to manufacturer specifications, starting with a concrete base footing. The size of the footing depends on the height of the steps, they may vary from 12 inches deep all the way up to 36 inches deep. The next steps involve installing the first course of blocks, which are the most important as the base sets the standard building up.
While the installation process may seem complex, rest assured that our expert walkway installers handle every detail with precision. We ensure that each element is meticulously executed to provide you with a durable and stunning walkway.
Setting Step Height
Step one in building steps for a patio is setting the heights. We recommend setting the height of the landing no more than 5 inches below your door, as this provides a comfortable and safe transition from your home to the patio. This height minimizes the risk of feeling like you might fall when stepping out.
Proper height determination ensures both safety and aesthetics. Masonry steps can typically be built with either 6-inch or 8-inch risers. Ultimately, your new steps will enhance your home’s entryway and provide a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces.
Excavation Phase: Footing
Now that we have determined the heights, we can begin digging the footing. We construct all our steps with a concrete footing mixed on-site. The depth of the footing depends on the height of the stoop and can range from 12 inches to as deep as 36 inches.
First Course of Block
After the footing is installed, we lay the first course, keeping in mind the design of the paver steps and the patio layout. This initial course is crucial as it sets the foundation for the entire structure. Once the footprint is established, we continue building up, ensuring each step has its own footing.
While the process may seem complex, it guarantees the stability and durability of your new steps. As we progress, we fill the steps with aggregate and broken concrete, finishing the top with a concrete slab.
Installing Caps & Paver Landing
We start by installing the coping and then move on to the paver landing. The coping is securely glued to the block with masonry glue, and we finish the landing with polymeric sand. For most landings, we recommend leaving at least 3 feet from your door, especially if it swings on a hinge instead of sliding. You have lots of options for your stoop’s materials, like block, cinder block with a stone veneer, or even wood. Adding some lighting to your stoop is a fantastic idea—it not only looks great but also makes it safer to use at night. Just remember, it’s best to decide on the lighting before we start the project, as it’s tricky to add it in later.
