Yes. We can rebuild steps and blend them into your existing walkway, or replace both together if you prefer.

Yes. See our repair and restoration services, including repointing.

It depends on the wall's length, height, access and drainage needs. Small garden walls may take a few days, while larger walls take longer. We include a schedule with your estimate.

A retaining wall holds back soil at a change in grade, so it has to be built for that load, with a proper footing and drainage behind it. A garden or seating wall is low and mostly decorative. The two can look similar, but the engineering is different, and we size the base and drainage to what the wall is actually doing.

It depends on the look you want, the height and the site. Natural stone suits traditional homes and older properties, while block systems are practical for longer or taller runs. We compare the options and what each means for cost and maintenance during your estimate.

Warning signs include uneven risers, treads that rock or feel loose, cracked or crumbling mortar, steps pulling away from the house and water pooling at the base. Uneven risers are a common trip hazard, so it is worth having them looked at early. We can repair or rebuild just the steps.

Mortar and concrete need to cure properly, so cold weather limits what can be built. Most new masonry is best scheduled for the milder months, and we will tell you what is realistic for your project when we plan the schedule.
