Project Spotlight: A full lake-access staircase tear-out and replacement — swapping aging wooden timber steps for a permanent poured concrete staircase running from the home down to the dock at Lake Keesus.
Location: Hartland WI
Project Overview: For this lakefront project in Hartland, WI — at the back of a home on Lake Keesus — Concrete Landscape Solutions tore out a failing wooden timber step system and replaced it with a poured concrete staircase running from the upper yard down to the existing paver patio and dock. The new staircase ties into the existing block retaining walls on both sides, fans out at the lower landing to meet the patio cleanly, and finishes with a brushed surface for slip-resistant footing in wet lakefront conditions. Built to outlast the wooden steps it replaced — wood at the lake fights a losing battle against moisture and freeze-thaw cycles — the new concrete run is a permanent fix rather than another short-cycle maintenance project.
