Our front pavers are nice and level, but in the back, deep gaps between stones and tall greenery make for an accident waiting to happen.

Stairs, Handrails, and Ramps, Oh My!

I once did an adaptive gardening consultation with a gardener who had to climb down twelve stairs to reach her ultra-sunny veggie garden. To make matters worse, she needed knee-replacement surgery. She loved to garden and couldn’t imagine life without growing kale, beets, salad greens, herbs, and tomatoes all summer long.

Unsure of the best solution, she decided to take the time she’d be recuperating from knee surgery to answer these two insightful and clarifying questions:

1 Should I replace my stairs and have a ramp installed? If so, where would it go and how much would it cost?

2 Do I sell this house and move to a smaller home with a garden on one level, so that I can garden till I drop?

This is a real problem that many of us may have to face. My client ended up selling her home because after getting several estimates, she found out there wasn’t enough room to have a ramp installed.
