Georgia is famous for its hills, and this property had a steep descent from the driveway to the backyard fire pit. The homeowner wanted a path that felt “solid” and wouldn’t wash away during Atlanta’s heavy rains.
Project Plan
We skipped the thin pavers and went for the “heavy hitters.” We installed solid stone steps measuring 18 inches deep by 3 feet wide. These stones are so massive they required a three-man team just to set each one in place.
Results
A grand, permanent stone staircase that leads to a custom-built fire pit and seating wall. We finished the area with slate gravel—a “barefoot-friendly” alternative to mulch that stays level and provides excellent drainage.
