If you have been thinking of ways to enhance your landscape, one effective trick that you might want to consider is adding stairs. Stairs are often thought of as purely functional, but the change in level it provides can bring several opportunities to create a more visually interesting outdoor space.
Of course, the steps should be designed appropriately so that you can really experience their benefits. Some factors that you should consider when designing stairs are the materials, dimensions, and positioning of steps. Make sure that you have appropriate dimensions — work with your contractor to determine the overall height of the flight and the number of steps needed to reach the upper level.
In this post, Backyard Reflections discusses more of the advantages of adding stairs to your landscape.
It’s not always so obvious, but a significant portion of your yard is likely wasted due to the slopes and grades in your landscape. So to maximize this hidden space in your yard, you should consider installing stairs. You’ll surely be surprised by how much functional space this can give you.
There is a wide selection of design options for outdoor stairs. Materials can range from wood to stone. Or if you have a patio, you can add stairs to it and use the same material. The result would definitely enhance your landscape design.
Installing landscape stairs is a relatively easy project, depending on your preferred design and requirements. Some homeowners even consider it a great weekend DIY project. But of course, it is still best to hire a professional to carry out the job. After all, your stairs should be durable and safe to use.
