The steepest projects are often the ones that make the biggest difference.
These Calgary homeowners needed a safe, functional way to access their front entrance on an extremely steep slope — but had struggled to find a landscaping contractor willing to take on the challenge.
With tough access just off Elbow Drive and a significant grade to work with, our team carefully planned and built a full staircase into the hillside using Barkman Dimensional Steps in Pacific Grey.
Projects like this require more than just moving material and setting steps. Working safely on steep terrain, managing difficult access, preparing a proper base and keeping everything aligned from the sidewalk to the home all take careful planning and ex*****on. Our crews follow proper safety procedures throughout every build, so challenging terrain never means cutting corners.
The result is a durable, natural-looking staircase that creates a direct route to the front entrance while fitting the character of the property.
A big thank you to our clients for trusting us with such a challenging project. They were fantastic to work with from start to finish, and hearing how happy they were with the finished result made this one especially rewarding for our crew.
If you have a steep yard, difficult-access property, hillside landscaping project, retaining wall or outdoor staircase in Calgary, Clover Landscaping has the equipment and experience to take on challenging sites.
