Below are some examples of different options for stairs you can use in the landscape.

Stairs are a crucial part to an interesting and flowing landscape.  Topography adds a whole different dimension to your outdoor living space.  Of course, if you have varying levels of gardens and/or sitting areas, you need a way to get from one to the other.  Choosing the right stairs to move you from one part of your garden to the other can make the difference in the 'flow' of your spaces.
