Measure the rise
The height and length of the slope set how many steps there are and how deep each tread is.
Dig and base
The slope is cut back and a compacted gravel base goes under the first step.
Build the risers
Block risers go up course by course, with side walls where the slope needs holding back.
Set the treads
Cap stones or pavers are set level on top of each riser to make the treads.
Finish and clean up
Soil and planting are tidied around the new steps, and the work area is cleaned up.
Worth thinking about first
None of this has to be decided up front. It just makes the first conversation quicker.
How high the slope is
Roughly how far the ground rises from the bottom to the top. A guess is fine.
How wide
A narrow path for one person, or wide enough to carry things side by side.
Where they start and end
The sidewalk, the drive, a patio or a door, and how the steps meet each one.
Block color
Whether the steps should match a wall, a patio or the house.
Walls beside them
Whether the slope next to the steps needs a low wall to hold it.
Planting along them
Shrubs, groundcover or mulch either side of the steps.
How much do outdoor steps cost?

Yes. Retaining walls are one of our main services, and steps can be built through a wall so the slope is easy to walk.
