Custom Stone Steps
Siloam Stone Steps:
Known for their natural beauty and durability, Siloam stone slabs are custom-cut to the specific topography of your yard. With a variety of sizes and shapes available, Siloam steps can be used to create wide, formal walkways or more narrow, meandering garden paths.
Flagstone Steps:
For a sleek, smooth surface, Flagstone is an excellent choice. This type of stone provides a polished look while maintaining a natural feel, making it perfect for both formal and informal settings.
Staggered Boulder Steps:
For a more rustic, natural look, flat-topped boulders can be staggered through a retaining wall or steep slope. These create a more primitive, garden-like path that blends seamlessly with the surrounding landscape.
In designing stone steps, we focus on both aesthetics and functionality. Step heights can vary from 4″ to 8″, and tread depths range from 12″ to 24″, ensuring comfortable and safe navigation. We can create steps that curve gracefully, integrate them into retaining walls, or even incorporate spaces for groundcover plantings. If needed, we also offer custom handrail installations to complete the look and add safety.
Stone Walls and Retaining Walls
In addition to steps, stone walls are a popular and practical feature in stone landscaping. Retaining walls help to manage the natural slopes of your yard, prevent erosion, and create additional flat spaces for outdoor living. They also add texture and structure to the landscape, serving as both functional and decorative elements.
At Fredell Enterprises, we use a variety of natural stones for retaining walls, including Siloam stone, granite boulders, and Menzer granite. Each material has its own distinct look and benefits, and we can help you choose the best option based on your design preferences, budget, and the topography of your property.
Outdoor Kitchens and Fire Pits
Take your outdoor entertaining to the next level with a custom stone outdoor kitchen or fire pit. Stone is an ideal material for these features due to its durability and ability to withstand the elements. Whether you envision a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with a built-in grill and countertops or a cozy fire pit for gathering around on cool evenings, Fredell Enterprises can bring your vision to life.

Stone Seating and Planters
Natural stone isn’t just for walls and steps—it can also be used to create elegant stone seating and planters that add comfort and charm to your outdoor space. Built-in stone benches provide a functional and attractive seating option that blends seamlessly into the landscape. Stone planters, on the other hand, add texture and height to your garden, while offering a durable and low-maintenance way to showcase plants and flowers.
Stone Benches:
Perfect for gardens, patios, or fire pit areas, stone benches offer a permanent seating solution that complements the natural surroundings. We can customize the design to fit your specific needs, whether you prefer a more formal look or something rustic and natural.
Stone Planters:
These versatile features can be used to add greenery to areas with poor soil, highlight specific plants, or create a visual separation between different areas of your yard.
Whether you’re installing stone steps, building a retaining wall, or creating a full outdoor living area, our experienced team will work closely with you to ensure that the final result is both visually stunning and built to last.
