Banstead gardens often have gentle gradients and split levels, especially near Banstead Downs and around SM7. Well-built steps make everyday access easier, reduce muddy shortcuts across lawns, and add structure to planting. We install garden steps that look intentional rather than “added on”, with crisp lines, consistent risers and comfortable treads. If you’re linking patio to lawn or creating a route to a side gate, we’ll design it to flow.
Our clients across the Banstead area include large detached houses, 1930s properties and executive homes where kerb appeal matters. In Nork and Burgh Heath, we regularly see front approaches that benefit from wider, shallower steps for prams and deliveries. For rear gardens, we match new steps to existing paving, brickwork and boundary walls so everything reads as one scheme. The result is a practical upgrade that also lifts the look of the whole outdoor space.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage and confirm the safest rise and run for comfortable walking. You’ll receive clear options on materials, edging details, and extras such as lighting integration or handrails. Our build process focuses on proper sub-base preparation, stable foundations and accurate setting-out for uniform heights. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for tidy workmanship, reliable scheduling and a 10-year warranty on installation.
Across Reigate and Banstead Borough we often encounter clay-heavy soils that need robust sub-bases and careful drainage detailing. Access and parking can vary around Banstead High Street and residential roads, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Many Banstead plots have mature planting and established boundaries, so we protect lawns, roots and paving during the build. Our step layouts are designed to suit wider front approaches and generous rear gardens common in SM7.

For garden steps in Banstead, expect around £150–£400 per step depending on material choice, width, and groundwork. A typical project usually falls between £800–£3,500, covering excavation, sub-base, bedding, and finishing details. Natural stone and lighting integration sit towards the higher end, while brick or block steps can be more cost-effective. We’ll confirm a tailored estimate after checking levels and access.
Most garden step installations take 2–4 days, depending on the number of steps, site access, and how much excavation is required. Simple sleeper or block steps on straightforward ground can be quicker, while natural stone steps, curved layouts, or integrated lighting and handrails add time. Weather and drying times for mortar or concrete can also affect scheduling. We’ll agree a clear programme before work begins.
Garden steps are usually permitted development and don’t require planning permission, particularly when they’re within your garden and don’t create major changes to boundary walls or highway access. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, conservation considerations, or if you’re altering front garden levels close to the pavement. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and advise if it’s worth checking with Reigate and Banstead Borough Council.
