Steps and stairs on the garden plot or the backyard of a country house! 50 ideas!
It’s a stroke of luck to acquire a flat piece of land with a naturally even surface. However, what if the terrain is uneven, with rises and dips? There are two viable solutions to this predicament: either level the land by filling in the low spots and removing the hills, or craft it with an array of stairs and steps. Garden stairs hold particular allure because, beyond their primary function of facilitating movement on sloped terrain, they possess the ability to utterly transform the architectural and decorative character of the garden.
Through the strategic placement of stairs, one can seamlessly integrate the various landscapes within the property into a unified whole, bestowing upon the garden an aristocratic flair and a noble charm. Virtually every piece of land presents an opportunity to ascend from one level to another. In fact, a pair of steps can suffice to link different levels of the property. Even on a flat and uniform expanse, stairs can contribute to enhancing the surroundings by introducing subtle undulations, thus adding diversity to an otherwise monotonous landscape.
Garden stairs come in two main types: embedded and freestanding. The former necessitates retaining walls, while the latter rests directly on the ground. When it comes to materials, garden stairs can be fashioned from wood, natural stone, brick, or concrete. The key is to ensure that the chosen material for the stair finishing harmonizes with the overall style of the property.
Enthusiasts of Art Nouveau aesthetics can opt for concrete slabs of varying shapes and hues to adorn their stairs, allowing for the creation of intricate patterns. In this scenario, decorative plants can be strategically planted along the stair edges to soften the transition from the steps to the ground. Conversely, those embracing a romantic style might consider placing flowerpots along the stair passages, cultivating an atmosphere imbued with lyrical charm.
