Safety

Front Access Step Upgrade

Creating a safe, level entry for a difficult corner.

Year

2024

Services

Stairs, Framing

Original Entry

Before: Uneven entrance with loose pavers, dirt, and overgrown weeds.

The Brief

Stable Solution

The entrance near the side gate was uneven and messy, consisting of loose pavers, dirt, and overgrown weeds. The owners needed a stable, permanent solution to make stepping through the gate safe and easy, without tracking mud into the area.

The Challenge

Uneven Ground

The ground level dropped away awkwardly from the gate, creating a trip hazard. We needed to build a structure that was perfectly level but fitted tightly into the corner against the uneven brickwork and the boundary fence.

The Solution

Box-Framed Steps

We constructed a solid, box-framed timber staircase using durable treated pine. We designed the steps with wide, deep treads to ensure secure footing and anchored them firmly to the ground to prevent any movement.

The Result

Safe & Effortless

The messy, uneven corner has been replaced by clean, sturdy steps. Accessing the property through the front gate is now safe and effortless, with a neat finish that tidies up the entire area.

Completed Entry

After: Clean, sturdy steps providing safe and level access through the gate.
