Walkways and Granite Steps in Portsmouth, NH
Paver and natural stone walks, granite entry steps, and old brick walkways rebuilt, for Portsmouth homes. Built by the Up North Scapes crew, a short drive inland in Newmarket.
We wanted the granite landing a certain size and they searched until they found what we wanted. So pleased with the transformation.
Walkways in Portsmouth, Answered
Our old walk does not meet the front steps properly. Can that be fixed?
Yes, and on older Portsmouth homes it is one of the most common things we fix. A new walk has to meet an existing entry cleanly, and on an older house that is usually the tricky part.
Do you work on small city lots?
Regularly. Portsmouth properties often pair older homes with compact lots, which puts a premium on careful layout. Every foot counts, so the walk gets planned around the space it actually has.
Our entry is up a steep grade from the street. Can steps handle it?
Yes. Where the grade climbs, granite treads get set level on a compacted base, with a rise and run that stays consistent the whole way up. A rough count of the steps you picture, in the form below, helps us price it.
Granite or concrete steps with all the winter salt?
Granite is what we recommend on a home you plan to keep, because it does not spall the way concrete does after a few salted winters. The full comparison is in our blog post.
What should we ask when comparing Portsmouth quotes?
Every walk looks good the week it goes in. The one that still looks good in year five had the money spent underneath it, so ask each contractor what goes under the walk, because it is the part nobody photographs.
