“In our design, we included a large landing that allowed for seating,” said Kraus. The area was so large that instead of a solid slab, the step is composed of a few pieces of Woodbury Gray granite set in between granite treads. Kraus’s team cut a diamond pattern and filled the whole thing with fresh stone dust, which added visual interest to the landing. The natural cleft bluestone walkway is lined with gray granite cobblestone, which provides a crisp edging to the hardscape.
