Why Choose Our Interlocking Stairs

Interlocking stairs create a seamless transition across elevation changes in your landscape. Burloak Landscaping designs and installs hardscape steps that enhance safety, add curb appeal, and withstand Ontario’s extreme weather.

Each project uses top-tier materials from Unilock, Techo-Bloc, and Permacon, and focuses on slope grading, lighting integration, and aesthetic cohesion with surrounding patios, walkways, or retaining walls.

Signs You Need Interlocking Stairs

  1. Erosion-Prone Slopes

If rain causes soil displacement or slippery conditions, custom interlocking stone work prevents runoff and provides stable footing.

  1. Uneven Backyard Entry

Homes with multi-level backyards benefit from sloped backyard entry stairs that improve access and usability.

  1. Unsafe Front Yard Steps

Worn wood or cracked concrete front steps pose a safety risk. Replace them with paver stairs or flagstone stairs for long-term durability.

  1. Inaccessible Raised Patios

Transitioning from ground level to a raised patio requires well-designed stone stair installation to ensure comfort and flow.

  1. Decorative Entrance Lacking Function

If your garden has design elements without purpose, tiered stairs with stair risers and lighting add both elegance and usability.
