What we were working with
An eighteen-riser climb from the sidewalk with uneven treads, no handrail and eroding beds on both sides.
What we built
We poured a new stair run with consistent risers and a code handrail, faced the cheek walls in stone, and terraced the planting either side so the beds stop washing onto the treads.
How it turned out
A safe, handsome climb — and a frontage that no longer sheds soil onto the sidewalk.
Materials & methods
