Sloping lawns, raised patios and split-level gardens are common across Croydon, and well-built steps make everyday access safer and more enjoyable. We design and install steps that look right with your paving and planting, whether you’re near East Croydon station or over in South Croydon. From a single transition step to a full run between terraces, we focus on comfortable riser heights, solid foundations and clean edging. The result is a practical feature that also lifts kerb appeal.
Our team works across the garden steps Croydon area, tailoring designs to the borough’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and modern developments. In Addiscombe and Shirley, we often match existing brickwork and paths for a seamless look. In newer builds around CR0 and CR2, we can create crisp, contemporary lines with block or sawn stone. Whatever the property style, we prioritise safe proportions, drainage and a finish that complements your home.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check ground conditions and discuss how you use the space. You’ll receive clear recommendations on materials, step count, lighting integration and handrails where needed, plus a tidy, scheduled installation plan. We build on properly prepared sub-bases, align joints neatly, and ensure consistent heights for comfortable walking. Local homeowners choose us for reliable communication, careful workmanship and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Across the London Borough of Croydon, gardens can sit on clay-heavy ground with seasonal movement, so we use the right sub-base and compaction to keep steps stable. Access and parking can be tight near CR9 and busier routes by the Whitgift Centre, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider drainage to prevent water pooling at the foot of steps. Designs are adapted to suit everything from narrow side returns to wider rear terraces.

Most projects fall between £800 and £3,500 depending on the number of steps, materials and site conditions. As a guide, pricing is typically £150–£400 per step for supply and installation. Natural stone and integrated lighting tend to sit at the higher end, while brick or block can be more cost-effective. Excavation depth, disposal, and any handrails also influence the overall budget.
Garden step installations usually take 2–4 days, depending on the step count and the amount of groundwork required. Replacing existing steps can be quicker if the base is sound, while new builds on sloped ground may need extra excavation and retaining edges. Weather can affect curing times for mortar and bedding. If you choose lighting integration, we’ll also allow time for safe cable routing and testing.
In many cases, garden steps are permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering access near a highway, working on a listed building, or your property sits within restrictions that affect external works. We’ll talk through your layout and check any relevant considerations before starting. If approvals or guidance are needed, we can help you understand what the council may require.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty covering installation workmanship, including step stability, fixing methods and structural integrity of the build. This gives you confidence that the steps won’t loosen or fail due to poor preparation or construction. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or issues caused by third-party alterations after completion. We’ll also advise on simple maintenance to keep joints and surfaces looking their best.
We install natural stone steps for a premium, timeless look, as well as block steps for clean modern lines. Brick steps are popular for matching Victorian and 1930s homes, while sleeper steps suit informal, planted gardens. We can add recessed or downlighting for safer evenings and a subtle feature effect. If you need extra support, we’ll recommend discreet handrails and position them to feel comfortable without dominating the design.
