Stairs That Feel Solid Underfoot
Stairs are what make the rest of the yard reachable. A flight off a deck, or up a driveway, turns a change in level from an obstacle into part of the garden.
They also wear out first. Every step lands in the same place, water sits on them, and the timber at the bottom is closest to the ground.
- Steps that flex or feel soft when you put weight on them
- Steps that are not all the same height, which is how people trip
- A handrail that moves when you lean on it
- Gaps wide enough for a small child to get through
- Timber rotting where the stairs meet the ground
Every Step the Same, Every Fixing Right
Stairs are a measuring job before they are a building job. The total height gets divided into equal steps, so every one feels the same underfoot.
Then it is about keeping the timber out of trouble. Supports off the ground, treads that shed water, and a railing fixed into the frame rather than into the boards.
- Measure the total height and set every step the same
- A written quote with the timber and railing set out
- Supports set on footings, clear of the ground
- Treads in a hardwood that will take the traffic and the weather
- Railings fixed into the frame, at the height the rules require

Tyler did an outstanding job recladding my mum's home in her over-55s village. From start to finish, his communication was excellent, and his pricing was fair and reasonable. He kept us informed every step of the way, discussed all aspects of the job clearly, and made sure we understood our options.

Timber Stairs & Balustrade Questions
It depends on the height, the width and whether a balustrade and landing are needed. A short flight off a low deck is a modest job; a full flight from an elevated deck with a landing is a bigger one. We quote in writing.
Once a deck or landing is a certain height above the surface below, a compliant balustrade becomes mandatory, with a set minimum height and a maximum gap so a child cannot get through. We build to those rather than to what looks about right.
Often yes. Stairs commonly fail before the deck does because of ground contact and concentrated wear. If the deck frame is sound we can replace the flight on its own.
A hardwood, and a wider section than decking boards so there is no flex underfoot. Treads carry a point load every time someone uses them and they need to be specified for that.
Worth looking at. Bounce usually means the stair supports are undersized, unsupported at mid-span, or have lost strength to rot at the base. None of those improve on their own.
Yes. We build stairs and balustrades across the City of Casey, the City of Knox, Cardinia Shire and Greater Dandenong. See areas we serve for your suburb.

Why Every Step Has to Match
People climb stairs without looking at them. After the first two steps the body has learned the rhythm and expects every one after to be identical. A step that is fifteen millimetres out of sequence is what catches someone out.
That is why the setting out is done from the total rise rather than step by step, and why a flight built by eye is a genuine hazard rather than just an untidy one.
Stairs on Sloping Blocks
On the falling blocks through Harkaway, Lysterfield and Beaconsfield Upper, stairs are often the only thing making the lower half of the yard usable at all. Frequently that means a flight with an intermediate landing rather than one long run.
Landings break the climb, give somewhere to change direction and make the whole thing safer. They are worth the extra cost on anything above a moderate height. See our decking page for the structure they usually connect to.
