Outdoor Steps and Stairs project by Western Paver Design in Portland, Oregon

Outdoor Steps Built for Portland's Sloped Yards

Here in the Portland area, many homes sit on sloped lots, so getting from the driveway to the front door, or from the house down to the yard, usually means steps. Western Paver Design builds outdoor steps in pavers, natural stone, block and concrete, matched to the walkway, patio or retaining wall they connect to.

Good steps are comfortable to climb, shed water and stay put for years. That comes from a compacted base and even risers, not just the surface you see.

Paver driveway rebuild

Rated 5 out of 5 on Google

I have had two paver driveways redone to accommodate the growth of existing trees. Fidel and crew did beautiful work. They completely pulled up the pavers, reconfigured the level, and placed every paver back with great care. I can’t recommend this company enough for their great work.

I had a wonderful experience working with Western Paver Design. Austin was a great communicator and Fidel and his team worked tirelessly to get everything done so efficiently and left everything clean and tidy. The design was beautifully constructed and the details were cut perfectly. I would highly recommend them!

Retaining wall

Rated 5 out of 5 on Google

The Western Paver Design team was amazing to work with. We had excellent communication before and through our project. Our wall was done right with a drain. The team was efficient and did not leave any trash. The extra gravel was thoughtfully spread. We even got a measurement to estimate how much backfill soil would be needed to complete the space. A+++

Retaining wall & patio

Rated 5 out of 5 on Google

We had Western Paver and Design redo our backyard, including a retaining wall and extending our patio to create more usable outdoor space and it turned out absolutely perfect! It’s been two years since the project was completed, and everything still looks exactly like the day it was finished. The quality of the work, attention to detail, and craftsmanship really show over time. The added patio space completely transformed our backyard and made it so much more functional. We couldn’t be happier with the result and would highly recommend Western Paver and Design to anyone looking for beautiful, long-lasting outdoor work. This pic is my favorite spot to be at during spring and summer :) We also did pavers along the side of the house which look so good and are much more functional. 10/10 experience!

Patio & walkway pavers

Rated 5 out of 5 on Google

WPD did an outstanding job on our patio and walkway paver project from start to finish. The quality of the work exceeded our expectations, the craftsmanship was top-notch, and everything was completed exactly as promised. The entire process was smooth and well-organized, and the crew was professional, punctual, and respectful of our property. A huge shoutout to our project manager, Austin, who was excellent to work with—communicative, knowledgeable, and on top of every detail throughout the project. Our outdoor space looks incredible, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. We highly recommend WPD to anyone in Oregon looking for a high-quality paver company

Retaining wall & fence

Rated 5 out of 5 on Google

We recently worked with Western Paver Design to build a new retaining wall and fence in our backyard, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The team provided a very fair price and made the entire process seamless with great communication from start to finish. They actually completed the project ahead of schedule and were incredibly diligent about cleaning up the site afterward. As you can see from the photos, the final product looks amazing. Highly recommend them if you're looking for quality work!

Paver patio & louvered pergola

Rated 5 out of 5 on Google

Western Paver Design recently installed a paver patio and louvered pergola for me and I am beyond pleased with the results! They exceeded my expectations in the quality of their work, their diligence and attention to detail, and the care they took with my property and that of my next-door neighbors throughout the installation. Austin did a great job as project manager in putting together a concise and detailed bid with schematics so that I was able to easily get the necessary HOA approvals. He provided me with updates on the process and scheduling and was always available for questions. German, the work crew lead, was great at communicating the installation process and he and the crew did a fantastic job. I interviewed several different contractors and I am SO glad I went with Western Paver Design. I highly recommend them!

Warranty repair

Rated 5 out of 5 on Google

Western Pavers saved the day! We had a few pavers sinking due to normal settling. I reached out and a few days later the crew was dispatched. They did excellent work and it was covered under warranty. An easy experience and looks like new.

Retaining wall replacement

Rated 5 out of 5 on Google

We loved working with Austin at Western Pavers to get our retaining wall replaced. His crew headed by Fidel arrived on time and worked quickly on this project. We were surprised when they completed our project in just 2 days. The result is amazing!! Both beautiful and sturdy. We highly recommend them!!

Deck & permeable pavers

Rated 5 out of 5 on Google

Wonderful experience working with Western Paver Design! Austin was very helpful with the entire process from quote through final walk through until we checked all the boxes. German and his team were hardworking, friendly, and skilled. German’s craftsmanship and design aesthetic really shined with a custom latching gate under the deck, framed lattice panels, and the picture framing on the deck. Love the permeable pavers to help with my drainage issues and all the quality materials and construction. This is a major upgrade to my house and I’m pleased with the investment. The quote came in at the middle of three quotes, but with a good balance of quality and supporting a local company, too. Thanks, WPD!

Paver patio

Rated 5 out of 5 on Google

We had a fabulous experience working with Western Paver Design. Austin was our Project Manager and guided us through the process, answering all my MANY questions promptly. Fidel and his crew did our installation and were a pleasure to work with. They made sure every detail was exactly as we wanted it, and we ended up with a paver patio that was even more beautiful than I could have imagined! I would highly recommend Western Paver Design.

Artificial turf

Rated 5 out of 5 on Google

We are so happy with are new artificial turf lawn. We always had problems with keeping our lawn green over the years as the sun hits it all day long. Joe suggested artificial turf, explained the process, and showed us a sample of the product. His crew showed up on time, and worked really hard at making sure we were happy with everything. Dan, the project manager, was extremely helpful, and checked up on the progress each day, and when it was finished. We recommend Western Paver Design for your next paver and/or artificial turf project. You won't be sorry!

Herringbone paver driveway

Rated 5 out of 5 on Google

Our neighbors redid their driveway recently, and it was so beautiful we asked them who they used. It was Western Paver Design. So we gave them a call and Dan Mackenzie along with Roger and his team came out to our place, demoed our driveway and walkway, and installed a beautiful paver herringbone design. Both Dan and Roger were great as well as the whole crew and the crew did a professional job from first to last. We would highly recommend WPD to anyone, looking to redo their drive or walkway.

80 ft retaining wall

Rated 5 out of 5 on Google

Western Paver Design just replaced roughly 80 feet of retaining wall. They did an excellent job. They actually over built it. It’s twice as sturdy/stable as the prior one and I’m pretty sure that it could even withstand an earthquake. The finish design is very nice and they clean everything up and are extremely respectful of the property.

Natural Stone Steps — Outdoor Steps and Stairs project by Western Paver Design in Portland, Oregon

Natural Stone Steps

Natural stone gives you big, solid treads with a look no two projects share. We set stone steps into the slope and tie them into boulders, planting beds and paver landings, so they look like they've always been part of the yard. They work especially well on a winding path through an established garden.

Lighted Steps and Steps Set Into Retaining Walls — Outdoor Steps and Stairs project by Western Paver Design in Portland, Oregon

Lighted Steps and Steps Set Into Retaining Walls

When a yard changes grade, the steps and the wall are usually one design. We build steps directly into block retaining walls and seat walls, using the same block and caps, so the change in level looks intentional and the patio above and below connect cleanly.

Lights built into the risers make steps easier and safer to use after dark, and they give the patio a finished look in the evening. It's far simpler to plan them in before the steps are built than to add them afterward.

Paver and Concrete Steps for Front Entries — Outdoor Steps and Stairs project by Western Paver Design in Portland, Oregon

Paver and Concrete Steps for Front Entries

Paver steps use the same pavers and borders as your walkway, so the whole approach to the house reads as one project. Concrete steps, including exposed aggregate and brush finish, give a clean look and a textured, grippy surface for wet days.

If your old concrete steps are cracked or crumbling, our demo crew can remove them and we'll rebuild on a proper base. Contact us for a free estimate and design consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Outdoor Steps FAQs

01

What's the best material for outdoor steps?

It depends on the setting. Pavers match a paver walkway or patio. Natural stone suits a garden path and an established yard. Block works well built into a retaining wall, and concrete gives a clean look at a front entry. We'll show you what fits your home and your budget.

02

How do you keep outdoor steps from getting slippery?

We choose textured surfaces, like a broom finish, exposed aggregate or a tumbled paver, and pitch each tread slightly so water runs off. In our climate, moss is the main hazard, so shaded steps should be swept and cleaned regularly, and sealing can help on some surfaces.

03

Can you add lights to outdoor steps?

Yes. Lights can be built into the risers or set along the sides, and they tie in with the rest of your landscape lighting. It's simplest to plan them before the steps are built, so the wiring is hidden, but we can look at options for existing steps as well.

04

Do my outdoor steps need a handrail?

Sometimes. Handrail requirements usually depend on how many risers you have and where the steps are, and they vary by jurisdiction. Even where one isn't required, a handrail can make steep steps much easier to use. We'll go over what applies to your project at your estimate.

05

Can you replace my old concrete steps?

Yes. Our demo crew removes the old steps, and we rebuild on a compacted base in pavers, stone or new concrete. Many older steps fail because they were poured with little base beneath them, so that's the part we pay the most attention to.

06

What warranty comes with outdoor steps?

Paver and retaining wall installation carries a 3-year warranty on workmanship, with manufacturer warranties on materials handled case by case. Due to the nature of concrete, there is no warranty on concrete work. See our warranty page for the details.
