Backyard Makeovers - Building Natural Stone Stairs - They Really Rock!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- This steep area of the yard was making it difficult to get up to another section where we planned on building a garden area so my wife thought it would be cool to make some stairs out rocks we already had on the property. I filmed the good, the bad, and the ugly and learned what I would do again next time to improve the design. It was fun digging and after two years (when I filmed this) the staircase is still holding strong!

Leave the comment section for questions and comments related to the project. I'm happy to answer questions but I'll ignore trolls or overall useless comments. I spent a lot of time documenting and creating this video and my goal is to help someone else with their projects. Хобби
I have been looking for a video like this for sometime! I love that you were resourceful and didn’t spend any money to create the staircase! Great job!
Appreciate this video! It’s good to know how to do this on a budget
Doing some soon had to watch this one.
Wish I had those rocks in my backyard. Nice job. U r a hard worker.
great video
Thanks so much
Vraiment super sympa. Jolie travail. 💪👍
I had the same idea, but realized my land is only full of shale, and the quarries in my area want to charge a arm and a leg for some small stones... welp ill just make a gravel staircase then!
Great video!
You are my inspiration 💕

I started this project and now nervous the ground will eventually wash away. How is your holding up?
@@amberpalmer2042 zero issues 2 years later for me. If you aren't sure if your soil is "strong enough" to withstand rain then you may want to consider a good base layer under your stepping stones like road crush aggregate or bedding sand (looks nicer). You can typically buy a 40 pound bag of bedding sand for $10 at home depot or if you have a local gravel/dirt company you can get a truck full (yard) for $20-30. I fill up the back of my Van at a place like that and will never buy bagged dirt again!
What was the consensus on the sand! Was it helpful? Did you find the steps that were stabilized with sand/smaller rocks held up any differently than the steps packed with just dirt?
Honestly they all ended up working about the same! The only on I had to replace was a step that was too small. Thanks for watching!
