Stairs and Pathways

Stairs and pathways if designed correctly can enhance your experience within your landscape and provide an artistic journey connecting patios and places of interest. Stairs and paths can be installed with many different methods and materials both adding interest and functionality to your landscape. Materials used for these segways between outdoor living spaces can be brick pavers, flagstone, stripstone, stamped concrete, large rock slabs, or a combination. Bands and borders can further add interest to paths and steps.

A wide pathway is a beautiful and comfortable way to get to your home and landscape. This wet laid flagstone pathway is 10' wide and steps up to a fully covered porch. Mile High Landscaping installed the wood structure above the porch as well as the rest of the entire project. More on this project is available on our Nothing says rustic more than siloam slab stairs. This particular type of stone has lots of iron deposits that make the interesting coloring in the rock. There are several other types of slab flagstone that can be used for steps as well. Primary pathways made with flagstone add style and class to any home. In this instance, the pathway helps bring out the craftsman style of this house.
Dimensional cut flagstone can be used in straight lines or it can be used in multiple lines, twisting and turning to work well with informal landscape designs. In this case, low growing ground cover was installed between the joints for a more lush effect. One of our designers came up with the square detail in this paver patio. A small detail that makes a big statement. Flagstone steppers twist their way through this lush side yard.
Blue stone is another great material for pathways and patios. Placing plant material close to the pathway helps soften and naturalize the hardscape. Large accent boulders are used to anchor this set of stairs as well as being positioned as seats. Dimension cut flagstone are a great stair tread. A dangerous 5 foot wide concrete staircase with no railing was removed in favor of this double tier paver landing and flagstone steps.
Stucco, brick and flagstone cover this set of cinderblock stairs that will be safe, and beautiful for years to come. Flagstone can be cut to make a more natural pathway. Plant material helps soften the hardscape and make the journey more enjoyable. This simple built in grill head backs to a café patio integrating the upper patio with the cooking area. The seat walls on the patio double as additional prep area. The grand stone stair set leads to a large flagstone patio.
