Create safer, more attractive transitions between elevations with custom stone and brick step installation in Chicago and the North Shore. C.O. Landscaping & Natural Stone builds landscape and entry steps that connect naturally with walks, patios, retaining walls, and the architecture of the property.
Every step project is planned around the total rise, comfortable proportions, drainage, traction, adjacent grades, and the way people move through the space. Material and detailing can match existing masonry or establish a new design direction.

Our Stone and Brick Step Installation Process
1. Elevation and Access Review
We measure the grade change and inspect approach routes, drainage, existing surfaces, and nearby structures.
2. Layout and Material Plan
Step count, proportions, landings, material, edges, and transitions are designed for the site.
3. Base Preparation
The area is excavated and prepared to support a stable installation and appropriate water movement.
4. Step Construction
Materials are placed and finished with careful attention to consistent transitions and the surrounding landscape.
Planned for Chicago-Area Conditions
Chicago snow, ice, moisture, and freeze-thaw movement make traction, drainage, foundation preparation, and durable materials important considerations for outdoor steps.
