Uneven, cracked, or shifting outdoor steps are more than an eyesore they’re a safety risk. James Okeeffe and the Pure Perfection team have been building solid, code-compliant outdoor stairs across Glens Falls and Warren County since 1999.

Superior construction techniques that withstand the region’s toughest climate challenges
Think about the last time you tripped on an outside step. Chances are it wasn’t clumsiness it was inconsistent rise height, a step that had settled unevenly, or a surface that had gone slick over time. These aren’t cosmetic flaws. They’re the direct result of steps built without proper layout, base preparation, or attention to how people actually walk.
Since 1999, our team has replaced more failing staircases than we can count across Glens Falls sunken concrete steps, wobbly paver stairs, and stone treads that shifted after a single winter. In almost every case, the root problem traced back to the same shortcuts: no compacted base beneath the structure, no consistency in step height, or materials that couldn’t handle repeated freeze-thaw movement.
We build it differently. Every set of outdoor stairs we install starts with a surveyed layout, a properly engineered base, and consistent, code-aligned rise-and-run measurements so the steps you get are ones you can walk up without thinking twice.

Base Depth
It's not just about looks. Correctly built stairs solve real, practical problems that poorly built ones create.
A well-designed paver patio turns your yard into functional outdoor living space—perfect for dining areas off the back door, fire pit patios for cool evenings, poolside layouts, and seamless connections to decks or outdoor kitchens. Projects typically start around $10k, with many falling in the $20k–$40k range depending on size, materials, and complexity, and every layout is customized to fit your property, whether lakefront, subdivision, or rural acreage.
Consistent step height and depth, along with a non-slip surface, remove the tripping hazards that come with uneven or worn-down stairs especially important for kids, guests, and aging family members.
Well-designed stairs tie together different levels of your yard patio to lawn, driveway to entry so your outdoor space flows instead of feeling disconnected.
A properly built base and correctly selected materials mean your stairs won't heave, crack, or shift the way undersized or poorly prepped ones do.
Whether it's a front walkway or a backyard patio connection, well-built stairs are often the detail that makes an entire landscape design look complete and intentional.
A well-designed paver patio transforms your property into usable outdoor living space. We build dining areas off the back door, fire pit patios for cool evenings, poolside paver patios, and patios that connect seamlessly to decks or outdoor kitchens.
Starting Projects
Typical Range
Here's exactly what goes into every staircase project we complete in Glens Falls no shortcuts, no guesswork.
James measures the exact elevation change on your property and calculates the correct rise and run for a comfortable, code-compliant staircase.
Together, we choose the right material natural stone, pavers, or poured concrete based on your budget and the look you want.
We dig deep enough to place the footing below the frost line, preventing the ground movement that causes most step failures.
A compacted aggregate base is built beneath the entire staircase, giving it a stable, long-term foundation.
Each tread and riser is built to uniform, code-aligned dimensions no surprises underfoot as you climb or descend.
Where required or requested, we install secure handrails and lighting to improve safety and usability after dark.
Treads are finished with attention to slip resistance and visual consistency, tying the staircase into your overall landscape design.
Every staircase we build is backed by our written five-year workmanship warranty.
A walkway might seem straightforward but done right, it involves careful layout planning, precise excavation, engineered base construction, skilled paver setting, and detailed edge and joint finishing. Every one of those steps has to be executed correctly for the finished walkway to perform the way it should and look the way it should for decades. At Pure Perfection Landscaping, James personally manages every walkway project from the first shovel to the final sweep of polymeric sand. One point of contact. One crew. One standard of workmanship that we've been proud of for 25 years and counting.

It depends on the cause. If the issue is a settled or shifted base, patching the surface won't solve the underlying problem for long. In most cases, especially with concrete or older paver steps, a full rebuild with a proper base is the more lasting fix we'll assess your specific situation and give you an honest recommendation.
Building codes generally call for consistent riser heights (commonly around 6–7 inches) and adequate tread depth (commonly 11 inches or more) for safe, comfortable use. We calculate the exact measurements for your specific elevation change to stay within code and keep the stairs comfortable to walk.
Smaller staircases can often be completed in two to four days, while larger or more elaborate builds with landings or handrails may take a bit longer. We'll give you a specific timeline once we've assessed your project.
Natural stone, quality pavers, and properly reinforced poured concrete all perform well here when installed with a correctly built base. We'll help you weigh material cost, appearance, and maintenance to find the right fit for your project.
Cost depends on the number of steps, total width, material choice, and whether handrails or lighting are added. We'll provide a clear, itemized estimate after a free on-site visit.
In many cases yes, particularly if handrails are required or the staircase serves as a primary entry point. We handle the permitting process throughout Warren, Washington, and Saratoga Counties as part of your project.
