  • To make these simple rustic garden stairs you will need large logs or boards, and stakes made from smaller branches. This is great way to use up scrap wood from downed trees while making a functional trail in the garden.

    I will ask my broher to do this. I have wanted a littl epath in our woods for ages, and this will be perfect. Safer for my 85 year old bones. Good teaching, good pictures, good project. Good use of leftover bits of building materials. Expert advice on cutting stakes. Thank you so much.

    I'm a fit 72 year old....but still 72! I've watched so may videos on how to create steps on a slope and they are so labor intensive! I think I can do this project on my own! Thanks so much!

      67 here and my steps are cut in but I was at a loss of how to proceed. No wood or stakes are in and I can hardly wait! It rained already today and more coming this weekend!

    I started to feel defeated when you showed how you were staking them in, knowing how expensive those stakes were going to be, how long it would take to find them, etc. Then I was elated to see you using wood! I have the stones, the slope, lots and lots of trees and a shovel and saw! I just needed these instructions, thank you!

    I'm in the process of doing this now. It's pretty easy especially if you have soft ground that isn't too rocky like I do. If you don't have a lot of logs or boards lying around 8 foot landcape timbers cut into 2 foot sections work perfect. For the stakes I used crepe mrtyle limbs I pruned a few months ago. Once they were cut to size they worked great as they're pretty thin but very strong.

    You can make the stakes - and the logs - last a LOT longer in the dirt by just charring them on a fire, or with a propane torch. Try to use hardwood stakes, even better if you can get cedar, yew, and other rot-resistant wood. Nice video, very simple method that works well.

    Looking to do something like this on a more suburban slope (walkout basement with a steep side yard) & would be using cut lumber vs found logs - do you need to use something chunky like a 4x4/log at the front, or would a board (2x6) work? I need a bit more rise, and think the thinner board may help with the 'place your foot on the dirt' directive. Any feedback?

    • @GiveitaGrow
      @GiveitaGrow  Год назад +2

      I dont think it matters too much. I start where the path absolutely need to be because the other end may shift around based on terrain.
