Many people who move to Houston love the beauty of the tree growth we have but complain about the exceptionally flat terrain that characterizes most of the city. With the exception of homes that border the bayous, lots here are like flat tabletops. Natural stone stairs are one of the most effective Houston landscaping elements that can be introduced into a yard to immediately add drama and interest to its aesthetic.
If you are already wondering how natural stone staircases can be built on a flat grade without trucking in large amounts of fill dirt, you have to visualize stairs from more than the perspective of vertical ascent to understand how they contribute to Houston landscaping design. When the eye sees a stairway, it judges the size of the stairs not so much by the incline of rise or descent, but rather by the length and width of the individual stairs.
