Stairs perform the function of allowing the landscape to change in grade or to give access from the outside to the inside of a building.

Stairs are constructed by forming concrete or by using brick or stone to shape them. They are then usually capped by "treads" which are thinner slabs that form the walking surface.

Walks and stairs allow access to the house and to other landscaped areas. Material for walkways is also called paving.

Stone Paving is a natural product that can be laid
in intricate formal patterns or in a very rough
and rustic "garden" design.

Concrete Pavers (Belgard, Pavers by Ideal, Techo-Bloc) are a relatively new product. Their uniformity of size and variety of shapes make them an attractive, lower cost alternative to other materials.
