Designed for Practicality. Built to Last.
We don’t offer pre-set options. Every set of garden steps is custom-built to suit your landscape. Our experienced team handles the full process – from site assessment and design through to precise construction – using robust materials and proven installation methods.
Our garden step builds typically solve:
- Sloped or multi-level gardens
- Unsafe or deteriorating steps
- Difficult access to patios or side returns
- Retaining walls that require integration
- Poor drainage or slippery surfaces
With 25+ years of construction knowledge behind us, we ensure every step meets both aesthetic and structural standards.

We take a thoughtful, design-led approach to each project. Here’s how our process works:

We assess slopes, drainage, and space use.
2. Concept & Materials
You choose your finish and format. We advise on safety and style.
3. Excavation & Foundation Work
Precision groundworks ensure level, lasting results.
4. Step Construction
We build each riser and tread to spec, securing against movement.
5. Finishing Touches
Sealing, shaping, and jointing complete the build.
6. Clean-Up & Advice
We leave your garden tidy and provide aftercare tips.
Materials & Methods – Your Options Explained
Not all steps are created equal. The materials you choose will affect look, lifespan, grip, and drainage. We’ll help you select the best type based on layout, garden style, and usage.
Popular Materials for Garden Steps:
- Concrete block steps: Strong, neat, and budget-friendly
- Brick steps: Ideal for classic London gardens
- Natural stone steps: Elegant and weather-hardy
