What Homeowners Should Know

How do you professionally install a paver walkway or outdoor steps?

Installation starts with careful site prep—excavation, leveling, and a solid, compacted stone base. Steps and walkways are then built using durable materials like pavers, natural stone, or brick, finished with edge restraints and proper grading so each path or step stays level, safe, and attractive for years.

Can you build walkways or steps on a slope or uneven yard?

Yes, we specialize in creating solutions for sloped or uneven terrain. Whether installing walkways that gently follow the landscape or integrating steps and retaining walls for steeper changes, every project is custom-designed for stability and smooth transitions.

What materials do you recommend for walkways and outdoor steps in North Carolina?

We recommend pavers, natural stone, brick, or reinforced concrete for projects in our climate. These options are weather-resistant and offer a range of styles and colors, from traditional to contemporary, that beautifully complement local homes and landscaping.

How do you ensure safety and longevity for steps and walkways?

Every installation is designed with safety first, using non-slip surfaces, the right riser and tread dimensions for steps, and carefully managed drainage to prevent water pooling or erosion. We also offer handrails where needed for added security, especially on longer runs or steeper slopes.

Will my new walkways or steps match my existing patios, driveway, or landscape?

Absolutely. We customize every design to blend with your home’s architecture, existing hardscapes, and surrounding plantings for a seamless, integrated look.

How do you prepare the ground and manage drainage for these features?

After clearing and leveling the area, we install a deeply compacted stone base and address any drainage challenges—adding grading, French drains, or retaining walls if necessary—so your walkways and steps are protected from settling, erosion, or water damage.

Do I need handrails for my outdoor steps?

Handrails may be required by code for certain heights or slopes, but they’re always recommended for added safety. We provide custom handrails tailored to your project and style preferences.

Can existing concrete steps be repaired or refinished?

Yes, we can repair or resurface most outdoor concrete steps, addressing cracks, worn surfaces, or settling to restore both safety and appearance.

What patterns or styles can I use for paver walkways?

Choose from classic running bond, herringbone, basket weave, or custom patterns—plus a variety of paver materials and colors. We’ll help you select combinations that suit your home’s style and create a welcoming entrance or garden path.

How long does installation take?

Typical paver walkway or step projects are completed within one to three weeks after design approval, depending on project size and complexity.
