At Rawcon, we’ve been crafting quality concrete solutions on the Sunshine Coast for over 40 years, and that includes floating concrete steps that deliver both standout style and enduring performance. Whether you’re reimagining a sloped garden, creating a striking entrance, or adding functionality to an outdoor space, floating concrete steps are a modern design choice that ticks every box, structurally sound, visually appealing, and built for everyday use.

What Are Floating Concrete Steps?

Floating concrete steps are individual concrete treads that appear to “float” in your landscape rather than being part of a traditional riser/winder staircase. This minimalist, architectural look pairs beautifully with modern outdoor designs, garden paths, and split-level yards. It’s a design feature that’s both functional and visually striking, especially in coastal Sunshine Coast settings.

Because they’re engineered individually, floating steps can follow curves, contour to natural slopes, and provide clear access without dominating the landscape.

Engineered Strength – Built to Last

Despite their light, modern appearance, floating concrete steps are engineered with the same commitment to strength and durability that we bring to all our concreting work. Proper support, whether embedded into a footing, tied back to a retaining wall, or reinforced within a structural slab, ensures each step performs like a permanent, load-bearing feature.

On the Sunshine Coast, materials are exposed to rain, sun, humidity, and coastal air. That’s why our floating concrete steps are designed with:

• Reinforced support systems for long-term stability
• Appropriate drainage planning to avoid water pooling
• Non-slip finishes to improve safety in wet conditions

Design That Enhances Your Outdoor Spaces

Floating concrete steps are a perfect way to add architectural interest to your landscape. They work beautifully with:

• Split-level garden terraces
• Poolside access areas
• Elevated patios
• Landscape garden entrances

Concrete gives you design flexibility, too. Choose from finishes like exposed aggregate, smooth polished concrete, coloured concrete, or textured surfaces that pair with existing paving, retaining walls, or exteriors. You can customise shapes, widths, and depths so your floating steps complement your overall outdoor design, not just function within it.

Whether you prefer monochrome minimalism or a more natural stone look, Rawcon will help you choose the right approach for your space.

Practical, Low-Maintenance and Built for Everyday Use

Unlike timber or modular steps that can deteriorate over time, concrete is inherently low-maintenance. Floating concrete steps require minimal upkeep, a quick pressure wash and occasional reseal (if chosen) is usually all you need to keep them looking sharp.

For Sunshine Coast properties with kids, pets, or frequent barefoot traffic, our team can apply non-slip finishes and tailored design elements that make everyday use safe and comfortable. Because we build to code and with purpose, your steps will look good and perform reliably for years.
