Whenever you have any damaged stones in the walkway around your home, it’s a good idea to have these problems addressed as soon as possible. If left unattended, broken or cracked stones can be a hazard to anyone who walks over them. Depending on how they were damaged in the first place, it might very well be that you will experience continuing degradation over time. That’s why it’s best to call in the experts at Native Steps & Retaining Walls whenever you identify the need for repair work on steps in the walkways around your yard.
When you call us in to carry out repair work on your stone steps, the first thing we’ll do is assess the damage which has already occurred. If we are able to determine that cracks run continuously through several steps, that will tell us that there is likely to be some kind of structural issue which needs to be taken into account before repair work proceeds.
Simple wear and tear is always identifiable, because it will be much more localized, and because there will be a pattern which is evident throughout several or all of the steps of your walkway. Once we’ve diagnosed the actual issue, we’ll begin removing any loose pieces of your walkway, as well as any dirt or debris. We’ll also determine how many stones need to be completely replaced, and what the size of the original stones were, before we can find suitable replacements for each individual stone.
From there, it will be a simple matter of installing the new stones such that they conform to the existing landscape, and provide suitable replacement for the originals. Whenever possible, we prefer to use local Bluestone or granite as our stone of choice for repair work. Over the years, we have determined that these two types of stone provide superior functionality, and they are both very appealing types of stone to work with.
Before any work is done, our trained specialists will consult with you about a plan of action, so you will have the option to proceed or to consider some other approach. You’ll always know approximately what the cost will be, as well as what the finished result will look like, so there won’t be any surprises once work has been accomplished. When our expert stone specialists have completed repair work, you will be left with a walkway which is at least as good as the original, and in most cases which is of superior quality and aesthetic value.
Whenever you notice that some of the stones of the walkway around your home have been degraded, chipped, cracked, or broken, the best thing you can do is call us at Native Steps & Retaining Walls, so that we can visit your premises to assess the damage. We’ll always find the most cost-effective approach to fixing your steps, and we’ll have repairs in place in the shortest time frame possible.
