Ottawa Flagstone Steps – Rebuilding Damaged Flagstone Steps

New Flagstone Steps Installation

Natural flagstone steps can be found all over Ottawa and many are in poor condition, either because the flagstone installation was poorly done or over the years salt had been used during the winter.

The Ottawa flagstone steps in the project pictures below is another good example and reason why you shouldn’t use salt on cement or natural stone.

The original stone work was done very well in my opinion. Repairing only sections of the damaged flagstone steps would of one option, but after taking a closer look far too much damage had occurred.

Old Flagstone Steps

Here are some pictures of the original flagstone steps, as you’ll see the steps have become dangerous and in need or repair.

New Flagstone Steps

The following pictures are of the new flagstone steps, some of the original stone taken from the step risers was reused when rebuilding the step risers. The last step meeting the driveway was lowered and graded differently making it flush with the driveway. Previously the original step was around 3″ higher than the driveway on one end.
