Browse Forums Landscape & Garden Design 1 Feb 28, 2020 5:27 pm Hi I need to make some steps to the front door thinking of Corten risers with stabilised crushed concert for the steps The run length is 5000 and the height 1300 Ive calculated 5steps riser 250mm step 1000 preferred or 6 steps 210mm riser and 830 step Would these be comfortable /legal Any suggestion comments welcomed Nick Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Steps to front door 2Feb 28, 2020 10:07 pm Max step risers are 190mm I understand this is landscaping but I would work with a max 190mm step as they are comfortable. I must say sometimes long treads are awkward especially when you find you are taking lunges to the next riser.

Re: Steps to front door 3Mar 02, 2020 7:54 pm Thanks for the reply What about 6 steps(7rises) rise 183mm step 830mm is there an optimum step would prefer longer step Should the step (run/going) be able to accomodate 1 or 2 footfalls (1foot on the step other foot on next step or both feet on step then climb to next step) Am I making this too complex???

I've no clue how I'm going to achieve this but this is how it's designed for my about to be built house. Mixed shaped risers.

As otherwise, risks of slip and fall will be higher, as the brain can't fast switch/accommodate to changing risers when you are quickly walk/running down. 182-190 mm is the perfect riser height, 200 mm is already quite steep.

Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ chennaiite I think what you meant to say was different size goings. In modern landscaping it's common to mix a couple of steps with big landings of different sizes. It helps break up the look of the hardscaping. You will find that the risers will be the same height. The pictures below are a job I did a few weeks back. All the risers including the ones up to the front entrance are the same height, but once you are of the actual flight of stairs and into the hardscaping the landing sizes change. Looks like you even have some negative details on the risers which always look good.
