Steps…

We are currently working on a set of steps with a small patio area at the top surrounded by a dry stone retaining wall. It’s a really interesting landscaping type job which is testing our skills with laying “crazy” paving schist. The client had already laid the concrete base for the steps so we are paving on to the treads and schist veneering the risers. We are yet to start the retaining wall part of the job as the paving really needs to be completed first so that the wall can sit on top and lock in the edges.

This is what we started with

Thanks for the photos Steve.

We are now hoping to get the pavers laid and the top patio area sub grade prepared before we have to begin our restoration module next week.

Over and out.
