Geode Stone Stair Construction With Retaining Wall
Incorporating two decades of seasoned mastery in the realm of stone masonry, the endeavor in question highlights the culmination of skillful artistry. A composition of Crab Orchard stone, interlocked with mortar, converges with the inherent allure of geodes procured from the storied terrain of Short Mountain, Tennessee.
Originating from a serene creek that meanders through the landowner’s expanse, these geodes were amassed over an extended period. Their metamorphosis from raw earth to refined elements of design commenced with the transformation of flagstone. Through a process of deliberate extraction, each step’s riser was meticulously hewn to embrace these geological marvels, forging a seamless fusion between the organic and the crafted.
Flagstone Double Step Stairway Construction
At Norwood Park, nestled in the picturesque enclave of Asheville, an exquisite transformation transpired. The canvas for this endeavor was a set of concrete steps – sturdy yet aesthetically uninspiring.
Guided by an artistic vision, the mundane concrete steps were graced with a veneer of the enchanting Crab Orchard stone, a symphony of hues interwoven into a variegated tapestry. To achieve this harmonious fusion of aesthetics and function, over five hundred feet of meticulously selected flagstone were painstakingly shaped, yielding a richly textured veneer that now adorns the once-drab concrete risers.
The treads, which bear the weight of those who ascend, were curated with meticulous care. Several tons of flagstone, possessing the coveted attribute of naturally straight edges, were thoughtfully chosen. These treads not only provide secure footing but also seamlessly integrate with the artistic narrative of the steps, resulting in a transformation that marries durability, beauty, and functionality.

Steps Made Of Stone
Steps are meant to ease passage across a change in grade. Frequently we encounter a yard whose slope is difficult to navigate, or older steps whose size, irregularity, or disrepair make them hazardous.
Our steps, no matter how many in a run, feature extremely regular risers and treads, pitched to shed water so that winter freezes leave them as strong as when they were first built, safe and comfortable to climb. Each step is typically six inches in height, making for a comfortable climb even for elderly clients, and has a minimum tread of at least fourteen inches.
Beyond being easy to use, our steps are pleasing to look at and are built to last not just one but several lifetimes.
Stone Walkway in Asheville
Gracing the landscape of Lakeview Park in Asheville, a testament to the inherent beauty of our region’s resources emerges. A dry-laid walkway, meticulously composed from the diverse palette of variegated Crab Orchard stone, stands as a living testament to the remarkable stones at our disposal.
Our privilege resides in the proximity to these exquisite flagstones, each a unique expression of nature’s artistry. With discerning hands, we embarked on the creation of a walkway that seamlessly blends function and elegance. The art of dry-laid masonry, a practice that eschews mortar, showcases the true essence of these stones.
This intricate assemblage of Crab Orchard flagstone showcases the versatility of stone joints. These stones, akin to puzzle pieces, can be arranged with a spectrum of joint styles. From organic and relaxed joints that mirror nature’s fluidity, to precise joints measuring a mere quarter inch or less, each approach finds its place. The journey of crafting this walkway became a dialogue between the stones, allowing their inherent qualities to dictate the flow and character of the jointing. The result is a walkway that stands not only as a functional passage but as a canvas that captures the spirit of both stone and surroundings.
