Paths and steps are what make a garden usable: a route to the bins that is not across wet grass, and steps that are the same height all the way up so you are not looking at your feet.

The rules are simple and they matter. Every riser in a flight the same height, a going deep enough to take a whole foot, a slight fall on treads so water runs off, and a surface with enough grip for a wet morning. Paths are built on the same principles as a patio, excavated and restrained at the edges, so they stay put instead of sinking into the lawn.

Common questions

Paths & Steps in Liverpool — your questions

Why do steps have to be equal?

People climb steps without looking once they have taken the first two. A riser that is a different height from the rest is exactly where a fall happens, and it is entirely avoidable at the setting-out stage.

How wide should a garden path be?

Wide enough for the job. A main route wants to take two people or a wheelbarrow comfortably; a secondary path to a shed can be narrower. We will talk through what it is actually for.

Can you make steps less slippery?

Yes. Material choice makes a big difference, and so does making sure water runs off rather than lying. Shaded paths under trees need more thought than open ones.

Can you add a handrail?

We can allow for and fit handrail fixings as part of the build, which is far tidier than drilling into finished stonework afterwards.

Do garden steps need foundations?

Yes. Steps carry load and get used constantly. They are built off a proper base so they do not settle and go out of level.
