Twickenham gardens often step down towards patios, lawns or side returns, especially around St Margarets and near Marble Hill Park. We build exterior steps that feel like part of the landscape—comfortable rise and going, crisp edges, and a finish that complements your paving. From a few sleeper steps to a full multi-level staircase, we make access safer for children, guests and pets. Lighting integration can be added for clear footing after dark.
Local homes in TW1 and TW2 range from Victorian villas and Edwardian houses to 1930s family homes, each with different levels and thresholds. We regularly create front and rear garden steps that respect period detailing while improving everyday usability. Where space is tight, we can design compact solutions such as tapered runs, landings, or spiral staircases. Materials are chosen to match existing brickwork, coping stones, and garden walls for a cohesive look.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage routes, and agree the safest route through the garden. You’ll receive a clear design plan and itemised options for finishes, handrails and lighting. Our team builds solid sub-bases, uses frost-resistant materials, and pays close attention to alignment and slip resistance. Fine Landscaping is trusted locally because we communicate clearly, keep sites tidy, and stand behind our work.
In the steps & garden staircases Twickenham area, we often encounter mixed ground and mature tree roots that affect foundations and levels. Access can be restricted on residential streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider how rainwater runs towards the Thames and ensure landings and edges shed water correctly. For steps & garden staircases in London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, we’re used to working alongside existing walls, railings and period façades.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary with height change, width, materials and whether you need landings, handrails or lighting. As a guide, simple sleeper steps might start around £900–£1,800. Brick or block steps commonly fall between £1,800–£4,500. Natural stone steps and larger multi-level staircases are often £3,500–£9,000+, especially with bespoke copings, curved work or integrated lighting.
Most small step runs take 1–3 days, including excavation and making good around the edges. A larger staircase with landings, retaining edges and lighting integration typically takes 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on ground conditions, how much spoil must be removed, curing time for concrete bases, and whether we’re matching existing paving or brickwork. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site survey.
Many garden step projects are permitted development, particularly where you’re improving access within the rear garden and not creating major raised platforms. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, and works affecting front boundaries or public-facing elevations. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey, advise on best practice, and can help you check requirements with the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our steps and garden staircases, covering installation issues such as movement caused by inadequate base preparation or incorrect bedding. The warranty assumes normal use and that drainage is not altered by later works. Materials are also covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable. We’ll explain care guidance, including cleaning and winter maintenance, to help your steps stay safe and sharp-looking.
We build natural stone steps (sandstone, limestone, granite), block steps with paving caps, traditional brick steps, and sleeper steps for a softer garden feel. For tight footprints we can design compact runs or spiral staircases, and we regularly add handrails and low-glare LED lighting to risers or side walls. We’ll help you choose based on your home’s style, slip resistance, maintenance, and how the steps connect to patios and paths.
