Hardscape Design and Installation: Steps, Stairs, and Walkways

Hardscaping is a critical part of a properly designed and functional landscape. Steps, stairs, and pathways are the most basic hardscape elements, yet their importance can’t be ignored. These elements give access from your home, patio, or deck to the outdoor landscape or can serve as transition areas between different sections of your property.

J&J installs dozens of these projects every year and we would be happy to work with you on the proper planning and installation of these important hardscape components.

Walkways, Outdoor Steps, Stairs, and Pathway Design

Some materials to consider for your outdoor stairs, steps, pathway or walkway may be:

Flagstone
Fieldstone
Brick
Gravel
Pavers

All of these materials have their place, depending on the style of your home and surrounding landscape. Within each material category, dozens of other choices are available in regards to color, texture, stone or paver size and shape. Let one of our designers guide you through the various pathways, walkways, and staircase design options and show you what we are capable of installing within your landscape.

If you’re looking to add stairs, steps, or a pathway to your residential or commercial landscape, our team would love to work with you on your property. Contact us today!

What Our Clients are Saying…

"We are so happy with our side steps that J&J did for us"

We are so happy with our side steps that J&J did for us – beautiful work – Ernesto is an excellent craftsman and the crew assigned to do the work were very responsive and polite and so easy to work with. If there was a weather delay we knew in advance and we were always kept in the loop re project. My only negative is that I want more stonework done by J&J but had to stop at the steps. Highly recommend.

"100% would recommend J&J"

We hired J&J to do some major installation services in our hillside backyard. They removed several large trees, leveled a large area of a hillside, installed a new patio and a play area, stairs, and several retaining walls. They also redid an old patio and laid large flagstone steppers in several areas. The work took about 3-4 weeks — it turned out absolutely great, and held up to an absolutely torrential downpour and flash flooding. James was very responsive from day one, coming on-site quickly to provide an estimate and answering questions/finalizing a proposal. During the work, James and project manager Donnell were present and communicative. The team working on-site was professional, polite, and very hard-working. J&J was able to provide the best price for the amount of work being done and came in significantly under other major landscaping companies in the area. 100% would recommend J&J — we would definitely use them again in the future. (The pics don’t do the work justice)

"It was a positive experience from start to finish"

We now have a beautiful flagstone front walk and front porch. It was a positive experience from start to finish. Prompt communication, honest and straightforward and competent interactions, consistent progress, quality materials, and most of all, beautiful and creative work. We highly recommend James and his crew!

– Jennifer Marr

"They were professional and cleaned up afterwards"

James and team did a marvelous job with our hardscape, using beautiful PA flagstone. They were professional and cleaned up afterwards. Thanks!

– Eric Trias

"A fantastic job start to finish"

A fantastic job start to finish. The J&J Crew arrived on time every day for two weeks and finished our new patio on schedule. Their attention to detail was spot on and their workmanship absolutely flawless. The beautiful design has transformed our worn out and overgrown old brick side yard to a beautiful new outdoor living space. The oyster blue flagstone is absolutely stunning. I can’t say enough good things about J&J and the job they did for us.

– Richard Park

"I highly recommend J&J"

I highly recommend J&J. They designed and installed new landscaping around our addition, including hardscape. Jamey and his team were great to work with during the design process to come up with ideal design that fit our budget. And the installation looks amazing. The attention to detail is something I appreciated – during the installation, the crew always left the job site clean and everything was perfect at the end.
