We had the opportunity to build a front entrance with steps for a client with a creative and artistic side recently. She was dissatisfied with her simple wooden steps and wanted some stone steps to make a statement and help tie her entrance to the stonework and boulders around her home. I worked closely with her on the design of the project, using her input each step of the way to create something unique and unusual to welcome guests to her home.
Pouring a 12" thick steel reinforced footing.
Roughing in the steps with cement blocks.
We built columns on each side of the steps with irregular shapes. We used stones to tie in deeply with rubble and cement fill. This is not a veneer, but solid stone construction. We also installed conduit for the electricians to come back and add lighting.
Finished product. The owner will set planters on top of the columns and steps to further integrate the design.
