Epsom gardens often need practical level changes, especially around Epsom Downs and the greener edges near Horton Country Park. We design and build steps that look like they’ve always belonged—whether you want crisp block steps to a patio or natural stone treads to a lawn terrace. Every staircase is set out for comfortable going and consistent risers, not just “made to fit”. The result is access that’s safer in wet weather and more enjoyable day to day.
Across KT17, KT18 and KT19 we work on large detached houses, period properties and executive homes where finishes matter. Many plots have generous rear gardens with changes in level between kitchen terraces, lawns and outbuildings. We match materials to the character of your home, from traditional brick detailing to contemporary stone with clean lines. If you’re improving kerb appeal or creating multi-level entertaining space, well-built steps make the whole layout feel intentional.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, discuss preferred materials, and plan drainage and edging. You’ll receive a clear written scope, a tidy schedule, and guidance on lighting integration and handrail placement. Our team prepares robust sub-bases and uses proven laying methods to minimise movement and trip hazards. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, careful workmanship, and a finish that stands up to heavy use.
In the steps & garden staircases epsom area, we often encounter mixed ground conditions and gardens that fall away from the house, particularly near Epsom Downs. We plan for drainage, stable foundations and clean transitions onto patios and paths, so water doesn’t pool at the foot of steps. Access and parking can be tight on some residential roads, so we organise deliveries and waste removal to keep disruption down. We also consider period detailing and boundary lines common across Epsom and Ewell Borough.

Costs depend on number of risers, width, material and site access. As a guide, simple sleeper steps often start from around £900–£2,000. Brick or block steps with proper foundations are commonly £1,500–£4,000. Natural stone steps and larger multi-level staircases with edging and landings are often £3,000–£10,000+. Lighting integration and handrails typically add £300–£2,000 depending on specification.
Most straightforward installations take 1–3 days, such as a short run of sleeper or block steps. Brick or stone steps with deeper foundations, landings, and retaining edges usually take 3–7 days. Larger schemes—multiple flights, curved layouts, or spiral staircases—can take 1–3 weeks. Timescales vary with excavation depth, spoil removal, weather, and whether we’re integrating lighting, drainage or handrails.
In many cases, garden steps are permitted development and don’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering ground levels significantly, building near boundaries, affecting a listed building, or working within a conservation area. Handrails and lighting may also need careful placement for safety and neighbour considerations. We’ll flag likely constraints during the survey and can advise what to check with Epsom and Ewell Borough Council before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our steps and garden staircases, covering issues caused by installation such as movement from inadequate sub-bases or poor fixing. We also use quality materials and correct bedding methods to reduce cracking and rocking over time. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or natural wear to surfaces, and manufacturer warranties may apply to specific products like lighting components.
We build natural stone steps for a premium, timeless finish, plus brick or block steps to match existing walls and patios. Sleeper steps suit informal gardens and quick level changes, while spiral staircases can solve tight spaces elegantly. We can integrate low-glare step lights, recessed wall lights, and sturdy handrails where needed. We’ll help you choose tread depth, edging and textures for grip, and a style that complements your property.
