Tie Steps

We can construct steps and landings with many different materials.  The height and length of the hill is measured to determine the number of steps, the height of each riser, and the length of each tread.   Pressure treated softwood ties can also be used to make nice steps usually with six inch risers. Ties can also be combined with brick or flagstone as the tread.  Ties are anchored to the ground with 2-foot reinforcing rods and are nailed together with 40-penny galvanized nails.  Ties from lower steps extend under upper step but no additional foundation is needed so these steps are the most economical.  Please view some examples of our tie steps below. 
All steps shown were constructed by Robert J. Kleinberg Landscape Design and Construction.  He is an ICPI Certified Concrete Paver Installer and a NCMA Certified Segmental Retaining Wall Installer.  He is also an EP Henry Authorized Hardscaping Contractor, and has been designing and constructing patios, steps and gardens in Philadelphia, Montgomery County ( Lower Merion, Bala Cynwyd, Ardmore, Narberth ), Delaware County ( Havertown, Marple, Drexel Hill, Lansdowne, Springfield, Swarthmore, Ridley, Media, Upper Darby, Newtown Square, Radnor ), and the Main Line ( Bryn Mawr, Villanova, Gladyne, Wynnewood ) PA as a Landscape and Hardscaping contractor since 1986.
