Whether you are enhancing a residential outdoor space or upgrading a commercial property, our rammed earth steps will serve as a striking focal point for years to come.
What Are Rammed Earth Steps?
Rammed earth is a construction technique involving the compression of moistened soil and aggregates into forms. The resulting structure boasts a natural, striated look and remarkable strength—ideal for exterior steps. By using high-quality locally sourced materials, we create eco-friendly steps that seamlessly blend into a variety of architectural and landscape designs.
Construction Options
- Custom Design & Dimensions
We tailor each project to your specific design objectives—whether you need wide, welcoming steps for a public space or narrower steps for a private garden pathway. - Color & Texture Variations
The beauty of rammed earth lies in its natural coloration. Soil selection and mineral pigments allow for unique striations that can complement the surrounding environment. - Integral Reinforcement
By adding rebar or other reinforcing materials within the compacted layers, we enhance the structural integrity of your steps and ensure they maintain their form under various load and weather conditions. - Protective Sealants
Although rammed earth is inherently durable, sealants can provide an additional layer of protection against moisture and staining, extending the lifespan of your steps.
