Steps That Are Safe Today and Solid for Years

Steps are the part of a property people notice most when they’re wrong — a wobble, an uneven rise, a slick edge in the rain. Built right, they blend into the landscape and just work: sure footing every time, in every season. Built on a weak base, they settle and shift and become the hazard you were trying to fix.


Greenstar Tree builds outdoor steps across Jamaica Plain to be solid from the ground up. As a family-owned business serving Suffolk County since 1996, we build front-entrance steps that welcome people in, garden steps that connect the levels of a yard, and steps cut into a slope to make a hillside walkable — each one on a proper base, in a stone and style matched to your home. And because we’re a full tree and outdoor company, we can build the steps as part of a larger project and finish the ground around them with one trusted local crew.


Whether you need front steps, garden steps, or steps to manage a slope, we’ll build them right.

Benefits of Professional Outdoor Steps


Well-built steps deliver value in more ways than one:

Improve Safety – Solid, even steps give sure footing and reduce the risk of trips and falls.

Make Your Property Accessible – Steps turn a sloped or multi-level yard into ground anyone can navigate.

Built to Last – On a solid base, stone steps hold up to foot traffic and New England winters for years.

Require Little Maintenance – Well-built steps need minimal upkeep to keep looking good and staying safe.

Add Property Value – Quality hardscaping like custom steps is a premium feature that adds to your property’s value.

Complete Your Landscape – Steps tie the levels of the property together into a finished look.

What Outdoor Steps Cost in Jamaica Plain

Outdoor step costs depend on the number of steps, the rise and run, the material you choose, the slope, and how much base preparation it takes. A short set of front steps is a smaller job; a long run cut into a hillside takes more time and material.


That’s why we give free, no-obligation estimates after we’ve seen the site, rather than a rough number over the phone. We’ll talk through your vision and give you a clear quote covering the materials, base preparation, installation, and cleanup. We don’t cut corners on the base, so the steps stay level and safe.

Tree Removal

“I have used Ben and his team for two projects: 1. a major tree removal off Boylston St. and 2. significant pruning of Maple trees over my house and over my neighbors houses. I found Ben and his team to be very professional and I like knowing I am supporting a local JP area business. Ben is very open and honest and provides options when issues arise. Overall, I found Greenstar Tree and Ben to be very knowledgeable about their craft, friendly and open and value driven. I thought they did a great job!”

Erick K.

Pruning & Trimming

“Ben and Will went above and beyond what I expected! Living in south boston i thought it was gonna be impossible to prune the tree in the back of my property due to the closed in nature of my house. It was amazing to see what they could do and how they managed to accomplish so much within such a confined area. I would give Greenstar tree 10 stars if possible and will be recommending them to all my neighbors here in southie! Thanks again Ben!”

Jeffrey F.

Cabling & Bracing

“Ben and Noah did amazing work at a fair price. I had multiple very tall trees in hard-to-access locations and on top of power lines that they trimmed back from my roof and siding. They were kind and professional and made sure to explain the work they would do and any advice on how to handle each of the trees in the future. I highly recommend and will be using Greenstar’s services moving forward.”

Nick M.

Tree Removal

“I had a great experience with Green Star Tree out of Jamaica Plain. Ben was able to schedule me almost immediately after our initial conversation for a tree that had fallen in my driveway onto two vehicles.
He was professional, efficient, and very reasonably priced. Ben went above and beyond, and Will was also fantastic—kind, helpful, and just as dedicated to getting the job done right.
They did an excellent job, and I will definitely be hiring them again for future work. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of reliable tree work.

Deniqua L.

Pruning & Trimming

“I love working with Ben because he is super easy to deal with, wicked honest, and just an all around happy guy. He’s the most experienced tree guy I have ever met who is still working hard out there and I’ve been in the landscaping and tree industry for twenty six years myself !”

Andrew B.

Cabling & Bracing

“Ben and Bertram did a wonderful job for us. The hard to reach branches of our oak were expertly pruned and our very large dead cherry was removed. All the wood was hauled away and they left our yard in grade a condition. Also, Ben took the time to explain why he pruned in the manner he did. His expertise was very helpful throughout.”

Makeit G.

Pruning & Trimming

“Greenstar tree did an excellent job pruning several trees in my yard including my beloved red bud. Ben and his crew are incredibly hard working. They took great care to protect my perennial garden and offered excellent advice on what should be pruned, removed, and maintained. We are very pleased.”

Kate C.

Cabling & Bracing

Five Stars! The Greenstar team offers high-quality, highly responsive, expert and professional services. We have towering hemlocks in our backyard and love how they make our yard feel like a secret garden. Ben was highly knowledgeable and took great care to balance the need to prune for vigorous health and preserve tree cover in the canopy. He also expertly tackled some other trees that have grown sideways over the years. Ben is a true pro! We felt our trees were in great hands and highly recommend Greenstar.
