Our Stone Step Services
Frontier Landscaping builds and adjusts dry-laid stone steps for both new and existing landscapes. Every service is built around long-term use, clean layout, and a natural finish.
New installations
We build dry-laid stone steps using rock or pavers to fit your yard’s slope and layout. Each step is set by hand with gravel and compacted base material for support.
Stone and paver selection
Choose from local rock or manufactured pavers in colors and textures that match your property. We help you select materials that suit the space, budget, and traffic needs.
Step repairs and resets
If a stone sinks or shifts, we can lift and regrade that section without removing the entire set. This service helps extend the life of older steps without starting over.
Path and slope access
We create walkable routes across hillsides, raised beds, and sloped yards. Designs include straight runs, curves, or staggered layouts depending on grade and usage.
Benefits of Stone Steps
Stone steps create safe, lasting access across sloped or uneven areas. Dry lay construction avoids concrete and keeps the layout flexible for future adjustments.
- Safer hillside access: Stepping stones provide secure footing where soil or mulch might shift. This helps prevent slips during rain or routine yard work.
- Stormwater control: Steps interrupt water flow and guide runoff through gravel. Erosion is reduced, and nearby soil stays intact.
- Easy maintenance: There’s no mortar to crack or repair. If a stone moves, it can be reset without major work.
- Long-lasting structure: Gravel bases support each stone through freeze-thaw cycles and regular foot traffic. Materials settle naturally into place over time.
- Natural appearance: Rocks and pavers blend with surrounding features. Step placement follows the contours of your yard for a built-in look.
