Stoops, Stairs and Landings

Stoops, Stairs and Landings Masonry

In the world of stone, there is strength, endurance, and harmony with the immediate environment. Natural stone columns are suitable for all types of homes. They integrate well with architectural designs and harmonize with the landscape. Grand and prominent or natural and minimalist, stone-clad posts and columns are available in a variety of styles, colours, and textures from light to dark, to red tones, to rustic. Options are practically endless.

Everything leads to our front door, an elevated, accessible, and welcoming entrance. Its prominence and charm, its very character, can be enhanced by masonry. The stoop has been the classic feature of home construction for centuries and it continues to be a staple on the property. Sometimes the grand staircase and landing are the pinnacle of luxury. But an equally bold statement can be made with clean and efficient slimline masonry structures having similar hardscape materials used throughout your home to help create a feeling of cohesion.

A curved, fanned, or wraparound stairway can add subtlety and a fluid feeling. Flanking stone walls and structural posts and columns complement the stoop. The masonry-surfaced landing or porch is another functional people-place, large enough for more than one person to stand or sit on, for decorations and plants.
