Natural Stone Steps for Slopes and Entries

Natural stone steps give a sloped yard safe footing and a finished look. Green Acres builds stone steps for homes in Wilmington, DE and Newark, set into banks, built into retaining walls, or leading to a front entry.

Each step is set on a compacted base with consistent rise and run, so the staircase feels even underfoot.

What Customers Say

“Two years ago Green Acres beautifully hardscaped well over an acre of our property, installing boulder walls, multiple large paver patios, decorative stone pathways, rock stairways built into a hillside, both metal and cedar fencing and an outdoor fireplace.”

I have used Green Acres since 2016 for mowing and landscaping. My lawn is a steep hill and the staff does an amazing job. I have a large mulch area that Green Acres does each spring. I am extremely pleased and recommend them for any lawn care needs.

Commercial Property Manager here ! We recently made the switch to Green Acres from another "popular" commercial lawn care company. After increases in pricing and steady decline in services, care, and pride in craftsmanship we knew that it was time to make a change.

FAQ

Stone Step Questions in Wilmington, DE

Irregular flagstone steps rising through a planted bed
What kinds of natural stone steps can you build?

We build steps from flagstone, granite and similar quarried stone, in rugged, irregular styles or cleaner cut styles. Steps can be set into a slope, built into a retaining wall, or used to create an entry. The stone, tread size and layout depend on your site.

What affects the cost of stone steps?

The number of steps, stone type and size, slope and total height gain, base and excavation, access for stone delivery, and whether we also build walls or landings. Steps set into a steep bank cost differently from a short entry stair. We quote after measuring.

Are stone steps safe in winter?

Textured stone offers good grip, but ice can form on any surface. Consistent step height, adequate tread depth and good drainage reduce risk, and handrails help on taller stairs. Keep steps clear of snow and ice, and avoid salt products that can damage some stone.

Do stone steps need a permit?

Most garden steps do not, but steps tied to a building entry, a deck, or a public walk may be reviewed, and HOAs sometimes require approval. We check local rules for your address before building, and we call 811 before digging.
