Stone Steps FAQs
Stone step installation typically costs $150 to $300 per step depending on material. Granite runs $200–$300/step, bluestone $150–$250/step, and natural fieldstone $175–$275/step. A complete staircase of 6–10 steps usually costs $3,000 to $8,000. Contact us for a free estimate.
Most stone step installations take 2 to 5 days to complete. A simple 4–5 step entry staircase typically takes 2–3 days, while larger staircases with retaining walls or landings may take 4–5 days. Weather and site access can also affect the timeline.
Both are excellent choices. Granite is the more durable option with a 100+ year lifespan — it handles freeze-thaw, salt, and heavy traffic with ease. Bluestone offers a classic look with a 30–50 year lifespan and needs occasional sealing. For maximum longevity, we recommend granite.
Yes, in most cases we can replace or rebuild stone steps without disturbing the existing walkway. We carefully remove the old steps, rebuild the foundation, and install new steps that integrate with your current hardscaping. We can also match or complement existing materials.
