Project Overview
Location: Tellico Village, Loudon, TN
Services Provided: Custom steppercase installation, accessibility-focused hardscaping, safety railing construction, decorative stonework
Timeline: Completed in 2024
Client Goals
The homeowner wanted to create a safe, stable pathway from the upper yard to the lower portion of the property that could be easily used by an elderly family member with a walker. The space needed to be functional and secure, while also fitting seamlessly into the natural landscape of Tellico Village.
Key goals included:
-
- Wide and deep natural stone steps
- Landings built into every step for stability
- A sturdy hand-rail system for safety
- A clean, attractive finish that complemented the home and surroundings
Our Process
We designed and installed a completely custom steppercase using hand-selected flagstone sourced from a local Tennessee quarry. The natural coloration of Tennessee Variegated stone gives each step a unique character while blending with the tones of the surrounding landscape.
Each stone step measured 36” x 18” x 4–5” thick—giving ample surface area for a walker to rest securely. Between each step, we created a shallow landing to provide rest points and improved ease of movement down the slope.
To ensure the highest level of safety:
-
- We installed 4x4 pressure-treated posts, each set in concrete
- A steel tubular handrail was mounted the entire length of the pathway
- Decorative 2-inch stone was installed along the edges to polish the look and improve drainage
Project Highlights
-
- Fully accessible outdoor staircase, walker-friendly with built-in landings
- Locally sourced Tennessee Variegated flagstone for natural beauty and long-term durability
- Custom handrail system anchored in concrete for reliable support
- Polished decorative edging using 2" stone for visual appeal and functional water management
