Brick Steps

Brick offers a centuries old classic look that has proven it can pass the test of time. Brick steps can be constructed on a concrete and cinder block foundation for steps that should outlast the youngest of us. Bricks could also be used as treads on segmental retaining wall risers. These steps are constructed on a 6-inch base of compacted crushed stone, and at least 8-inches of wall stones below grade, but they do not require a concrete foundation so they are more economical than masonry steps. (There are a lot of examples of this type of step with flagstone treads on our Flagstone Steps page, and construction can be seen on our Step Construction page. More economically still are with tie risers with brick treads inside. Please view some examples of our brick steps below. All steps shown were constructed by Robert J. Kleinberg Landscape Design and Construction. He is an ICPI Certified Concrete Paver Installer and a NCMA Certified Segmental Retaining Wall Installer. He is also an EP Henry Authorized Hardscaping Contractor, and has been designing and constructing patios, steps, and gardens in Philadelphia, Montgomery County ( Lower Merion, Bala Cynwyd, Ardmore, Narberth ), Delaware County ( Havertown, Marple, Drexel Hill, Lansdowne, Springfield, Swarthmore, Ridley, Media, Upper Darby, Newtown Square, Radnor ), and the Main Line ( Bryn Mawr, Villanova, Gladyne, Wynnewood ) PA as a Landscape and Hardscaping contractor since 1986.

Tie and Brick Steps
Pressure treated softwood ties are used here to make nice steps with either six inch risers with brick treads. Ties are anchored to the ground with 2-foot reinforcing rods and are nailed together with 40-penny galvanized nails. Ties from lower steps extend under upper step but no additional foundation is used so these steps are the most economical.
