Outdoor Step Construction in Verona & Madison, WI
Solid steps for slopes, entryways, and everywhere a few feet of elevation change turns into a hazard.
Outdoor Step Construction in Verona & Madison, WI
Solid steps for slopes, entryways, and everywhere a few feet of elevation change turns into a hazard.
Dane County yards aren’t flat. A slope from the driveway to the front door, a drop from the patio to the lawn, a hillside garden you can’t get to safely, all of it needs steps that stay level and don’t shift when the ground freezes and thaws. We build them into the site properly the first time, not set on top of it.

What Goes Into a Step That Actually Lasts
Built into the ground, not on top of it. Steps set on unprepared soil shift within a year or two. Ours are excavated and built on a compacted base below the frost line.
Stone, paver, or a mix, matched to what’s already there. New steps should look like they belong, not like an add-on.
Licensed and insured. Ask us for proof. Ask everyone you’re considering.
We handle the drainage too. Steps built without a plan for water runoff crack and heave. We grade around them so water moves away, not through them.
Full-Service Site Prep – Proper grading and drainage come standard, so steps last decades.
Steps are also part of a bigger plan for a lot of yards. If you’re also looking at a [walkway], [patio], or [fire pit], we can scope it together so it’s one project instead of three separate ones.

Why DIY Steps Usually Fail Within a Few Years
Steps look simple. Stack some stone or pour some concrete, done. The part that fails isn’t the visible step, it’s what’s underneath it.
Wisconsin ground moves every winter. A step set on soil that wasn’t excavated and compacted properly will:
Sink unevenly, one side lower than the other
Separate from the house or patio it’s supposed to meet
Heave in winter and crack by spring
Turn into an actual trip hazard, on the exact thing people use in the dark
What Happens After You Call
We walk the site with you and look at the actual grade change, not just guess from a photo. You get a quote with a real number for the steps themselves. If it makes sense to tie in a walkway or patio at the same time, we’ll tell you, we won’t upsell you into it.
