Outdoor Steps & Staircases
Exterior steps see a lot of stress in Southern Wisconsin, where freeze-thaw cycles can shift soil and crack poorly installed materials season after season. Martinez Landscaping builds steps and staircases using proper base preparation and materials suited to our climate, so they stay level, safe, and intact through Wisconsin winters. Whether you need a few front entry steps or a full staircase connecting a deck to a lower patio, we do the work ourselves with no subcontractors.
- Concrete, natural stone, and paver step options sized and spec’d for your slope and traffic needs
- Base excavation and compacted gravel sub-base installation to prevent frost heave and settling
- Steps built to correct rise-and-run proportions for safe, comfortable footing year-round
- Seamless integration with existing walkways, retaining walls, patios, or landscaping
- Free written estimate with material options and a clear scope before any work begins
- Wisetack financing available, including 0% APR options, for larger staircase projects
How It Works
Our Process for Outdoor Steps & Staircases
Free on-site estimate
We visit your property, measure the slope and elevation change, and talk through material options that fit the look and budget. You get a written estimate before anything else.
Material selection and scheduling
Once you approve the estimate, you choose your material (concrete, natural stone, or pavers) and we schedule the installation around your timeline and material availability.
Excavation and base prep
We dig out the area, remove old steps if needed, and install a compacted gravel base deep enough to handle Wisconsin frost depth. This is the step most crews skip, and it is why steps fail.
Step installation and cleanup
Steps are set to grade, checked for level and proper pitch for drainage, and finished cleanly. We haul away all debris and walk you through the completed work before we leave.

Common Questions
FAQ: Outdoor Steps & Staircases
Concrete and natural stone are both solid choices for Wisconsin winters as long as the base is done right. Pavers are also popular and allow easier repairs if a section ever does shift.
We handle both. Step replacement is actually one of the more common jobs we get, and we remove the old material, rebuild the base, and install new steps as part of the same project.
Most residential step projects take one to two days. Larger staircases with multiple landings or extensive base work may take a bit longer, and we will give you a realistic timeline in the estimate.
