"We had a huge driveway challenge for Meramec Hardscapes and they met the challenge. We had a collapsing driveway due to water flow issues. We live at the bottom of a hill in a subdivision with no storm sewers. They came out and assessed the situation and came up with a solution. They installed a French drain at the top of the driveway and put in curbing around the driveway to direct the flow of water down to a concrete swale at the bottom of the driveway. We have had several hard rains since the completion of the project and it seems to have solved our problem and is working fine. We found the owner, Dan, and his project manager, Matt, to be very accommodating when we had any issues or questions. We would highly recommend this company."

Building codes require you to anchor concrete steps to the house foundation or slab so they can’t shift or settle. If your home doesn’t have a standard foundation, a contractor will pour a small footing or create a gravel base that meets local specs. Proper anchoring keeps the staircase stable, prevents cracks, and helps it last for decades while staying code-compliant.
Concrete stairs are more costly than wood or steel options. They cost about $200 to $600 per step—roughly double the $100 to $200 you’d pay for wood. The higher price comes from the extra labor, specialized forms, and strict code requirements that go into safely mixing, pouring, and curing concrete.
Keep your concrete steps in shape by sweeping, regularly rinsing them, and rolling on a quality sealer or porch paint every year or two. During each cleaning, look for cracks, chips, or spots of erosion. Catching small problems early keeps water out, maintains the structural strength of the steps, and helps the stairs stay safe—and good-looking—for decades.
