Interlocking Step Installation Process
Improper interlocking step installation may cause the stones to shift, move or sink over the years. With that being said, here is our process for installing interlocking steps to ensure they will last the test of time.
Step 1: Measure and level. Ensure the area supports the appropriate width and depth for the foundation of the steps.
Step 2: Prepare the base. For less than 4 steps, you may be able to get away with using a gravel base. For 4 or more steps, you will likely require a concrete base.
Step 3: Interlocking steps installation. Place your steps in the desired layout.
Step 4: Finishing touches. Here, you may install a railing or other finishing touches for your steps.
Interlocking Steps Comparison
While natural stones are a combination of cut-down and polished natural stones (limestone, flagstone, sandstone, granite, quartz, marble, etc.), interlocking stones are made in a factory.
Natural stones tend to be far more expensive because they are harder to find, produce, ship, and install. Their natural properties make them unique, meaning it is difficult to match the stones’ colours, sizes, and shapes. They also require staining and sealing for life preservation. Interlocking, on the other hand, is much more affordable and easier to work with. Because it is produced in a factory, it can be customized to the ideal shape, size, colour, etc., and treated against erosion, elements, and discolouring.
Since the size and thickness of interlocking steps are far more accurate, and the stones are more durable, in many cases, homeowners can get away with using a gravel base. For four or more steps, we recommend using a concrete base to support the weight and prevent shifting and cracking, whereas, with natural steps, we would recommend a concrete base for two or more steps.

Cost of Interlocking Steps
Interlocking is hands-down, one of the best hardscaping materials around. It is extremely durable, affordable, and highly customizable, making it a great option for many homeowners. Here are a few factors that could impact the cost of your interlocking job:
- City Location: further or busier locations could require more resources (ie; more trucks, gas, drivers, time, etc.)
- Job Size: larger jobs will likely require more resources, materials, and labour
- Job Details: a driveway will likely cost more than a walkway due to the size of the area and the required base thickness for installation
- Access: if was cannot access the working area with our machinery, significantly more time, labour, and resources will be required
- Material: materials all come with their own cost (ie; natural stone is more expensive than interlock). Some special orders may require a minimum order quantity.
How to Prevent Your Stone Steps from Sinking
The top reason for steps sinking is an insufficient gravel base. Ideally, you should have a minimum of six inches of gravel. If your current base does not meet this standard, it will require excavation. Another important step is installing geotextile, which will keep the soil and gravel from mixing.
The weight and number of steps will also impact the likelihood of them sinking. For example, if you only have two steps, the chances of you requiring a concrete base is very slim. For three or more steps, AHS recommends a concrete base, but it may not be required (depending).
For four or more steps, you will most likely need to install a concrete base, as well as footings. Footings are the foundation beneath the concrete that acts as additional reinforcement. They are located about four feet below the ground, also referred to as the “defrost line”. This is strategically done so that the ground cannot freeze beneath the foundation. If the foundation cannot move, the steps on top cannot move, which means they will not sink, shift, or crack.
