Benefits
Enhancing your garden with steps provides a range of benefits, including:
Unlocking New Views: Timber steps can open up entirely new vantage points in your garden, allowing you to appreciate features that were previously out of reach.
Improving Access: No more struggling up and down a steep slope or navigating a muddy bank. Our timber steps make it easy to enjoy every corner of your property.
Enhancing Safety: With robust handrails and grooved, non-slip timber, you’ll feel secure and confident traversing different levels, even in damp or slippery conditions.
Garden Step Restoration
Where you have an existing construction in place, we can replace any rotten or warped timbers with sympathetic replacements, even sourcing reclaimed timber to retain visual appeal. During restoration, we also check the stability of underlying supports, ensuring your steps meet modern safety standards and stand the test of time.
Materials
For most of our garden steps and stairs constructions, we either use C24 softwood timbers or green oak. The choice will depend on our budget and the design aesthetic that we will agree with you at the start of the project. For areas where there is constant flooding or boggy conditions, we can opt to use recycled plastic posts and boards, giving you a long-lasting, eco-friendly solution that won’t warp or rot in wet environments.
Benefits Over Concrete Steps
Cost: Timber steps can often be more cost-effective than concrete alternatives, especially for custom designs and unusual layouts.
Longevity: Quality timber, properly treated, will last for many years and can be more forgiving than concrete, which might crack or sink over time.
Safety (Non-Slip Timber): Grooved or textured timber surfaces are less slippery than smooth concrete, helping to reduce the risk of falls.
Environmental Impact: Timber is a natural, renewable resource, and using it can have a lower carbon footprint than concrete.
Location Flexibility: Timber can blend into natural landscapes more organically, making it ideal for gardens and countryside settings.
