Whether you’re looking replace your old concrete steps, or looking to create completely new staircases, our team combines design expertise and master craftsmanship to create an entrance that stands the text of time.
Stone Steps that Fit Your Style
Long gone are the days where concrete steps were your only option. Today, homeowners can choose from elegant natural stone, pavers, or custom overlays to create a warm and inviting entrance.
We work with premium materials from trusted brands like Techo-Bloc and Unilock, offering a variety of shapes, colors, and textures to match your home’s architecture. No matter what you choose, we’ll help you design steps that are both functional and beautiful.
Steps vs. Overlays—What's the Difference?
While both enhance the look and accessibility of your landscape, choosing what’s right for you depends on your starting point.
Overlays are best suited for those who have existing, structurally sound steps, but are visually worn or outdated and in need of a refresh.
New Steps are new constructions, whether fully replacing existing steps or installing ones from the ground up.
What Our Clients Are Saying
We take a lot of pride in the outdoor living spaces we create, but nothing means more to us than hearing from the homeowners who get to enjoy them every single day. Here’s what our clients have to say about their Bahler Brothers experience.
We decided in the late Spring of 2025 to add a pool in our yard. by that May we had picked the pool company and all of the elements of the pool and pool system. However, we needed quite a bit of landscaping to reshape our yard, plan and install the deck surrounding our pool, and make sure that the drainage solutions we desired were correctly implemented. We hired a landscape architect to make exact plans. In June, we began searching for the right company to handle our project needs for the landscaping and deck. our pool company recommended Bahler Brothers and Josh Bahler came up to meet us. From the first meeting we were impressed with his energy, his knowledge, his humility, and his enthusiasm for getting our project done just the way we wanted it. We signed a fixed price contract for the decking we picked with Josh's help and for a retaining wall we needed built. We could not sign a fixed price contract for the landscaping and drainage work we needed done so we agreed to have that work done on a time and materials basis. From late July through August Bahler Brothers had teams here working on our project. Each of their employees was friendly, expert in his/her tasks, eager to get things done just right and timely in their work. The end result was spectacular; beyond anything we, our family, an our friends had ever seen or imagined. After the work was complete, Josh Bahler called to make sure that everything was done right and to our satisfaction. Only when assured that we were 100% satisfied did we receive a bill. It was extremely fair and frankly for less than we had expected. Weeks later, after we had paid the bill in full, a small drainage problem popped up after a deluge caused by a heavy rainstorm. We let Josh know and he was on site within hours to suggest and make a slight tweak in the drainage plans our landscape architect had made. The problem was solved, and no further bill was received. I highly recommend Bahler Brothers. They are the epitome of excellent craftsmen whose pride in their craft is really inspiring. Fred Fierst, Florence, MA
We were thoroughly surprised at the customer service! We had a worrisome problem with staining on our 4 year old concrete paver patio. Even though Bahler Brothers hadn't installed it, they offered to send someone out to troubleshoot it. Sam and Dave came out to our home- not once but twice -to diagnose the issue and suggest remedies. AT NO CHARGE! Remarkable in these days and times.
Bahler Brothers did a really nice job replacing our front steps. Original steps were concrete and the entire structure was tilted forward. In one day Bahler removed the old steps and replaced them with granite steps. And despite using heavy equipment, there was minimal damage to the front lawn. Our neighbors used them for a major project and recommended them. Their prices were fair, and we will definitely use them for future jobs - no hesitation.
Professional from my first call to the completion of the beautiful paver walkway. Clearly experienced - top notch service and installation by their team of professionals. Bahler Brothers delivered on their promise.
