Discipline 06: Elevation

Steps measured to the millimeter.

Rise and run done right: entrances and grade changes that feel natural underfoot and read like architecture.

The discipline

Your feet notice a quarter inch.

Walk a badly built staircase and your body knows before your eyes do. One riser a half-inch off and every stride hesitates. Steps are pure geometry, and we treat them that way: consistent rise, generous run, every tread checked twice before it is set once.

From two entry steps to a terraced flight down a whole hillside, we build on frost-proof foundations in stone or block that matches the rest of your hardscape, with lighting, cheek walls and landings where they belong. Safe in the dark, in the rain, in January.

What’s included

Every detail, priced in.

Every TNT staircase is quoted as a complete system, subgrade to final sweep. The number you sign is the number you pay.

  • Precise rise-and-run geometry
  • Natural stone, block or paver treads
  • Solid, frost-proof foundations
  • Integrated step & landing lighting
  • Matching cheek walls & landings
  • Code-conscious, grip-sure construction

Why it lasts

Built once. Built right.

Geometry first

Even risers and honest runs, so every stride lands exactly where it expects to.

Safe in all weather

Frost-proof footings and grip-sure treads for the mornings that test them.

Reads like architecture

Steps designed as a feature of the house, not a patch between elevations.
