Stone Stairs in a Hill

This is what I’ve been working on the past couple weekends. I need another day to finish the last few steps.

The way I post images with flickr is I right click on the photo, click properties, and copy the link from in there:)

Looks good!

I have to do that same thing next weekend.

Good job.

Thanks. Edited to show images.

Wow, pretty nice.

I was expecting to see picture of Machu Pichu, lol.

I like doing that stuff, what did you use under the blocks?

That’s really neat. Good job. :tup:

Nice. That must have taken a lot of time. I need the same thing but longer/higher, how much do you charge? :slight_smile:

Looks really good.

i decided against using any mortar and just used retaining wall / masonry adhesive to hold the pavers in place.

Its taken the past 2 weekends. The most time consuming part is picking out stones that will work and loading and unloading. Everything was done by hand. Pm’d

Thanks.

Nice work zack

looks good

ill be doing a 14x14 patio brick floor …i hope it comes out looking as good as this

looks nice, so its just basically dirt under it?

it may shift when the ground freezes and thaws like everythin else does in wny haha.

looks good!

Looks nice.

Thanks guys. I dug out for each specific stone, less about 3-4 inches. I used a tamper on the dirt and leveled it off, then added paver base / gravel and again tampered and leveled off. They are slightly graded down to shed water.

I expect some movement, but it seems pretty solid. Most of the stones were 120-140 lbs.

looks very nice!!!

Looks really nice. This is the kind of thing I pay people to do because I’d suck at it.
