Grand staircases, Blue Select steps, flagstone walkways, front stoops and Belgian block borders — laid out as one run, with every riser matched to its neighbor.
Real projects, photographed on site — every one hand-set by Edgar’s crew.
Every riser has to match its neighbors — the eye and the foot both notice. We lay out the full run before the first stone is set.
Steps carry concentrated loads. Each one sits on a solid, drained base.
Treads are set with a slight pitch so rain runs off instead of standing and freezing.
Columns are capped, and walkway edges are finished — in stone, or in Belgian block that holds its line for generations.
Compare every stone in The Stone Library.

Yes — Belgian block borders and aprons set on a reinforced base, and repairs to existing borders.
