Hello heroes of handywork!
Ive another project. I'm putting in steps alongside the concrete driveway. I'm planning on 15 steps using 2 x 400 x 400 pavers for each step with a 200 riser, but as I want around a 120 rise, I'll have to embed them under the ground a bit. Give me your tips please...do I used concrete, cement or mortar? The Handyman who is helping me says to use cement, but Im worried it won't have the strength. I was going to use a bed of concrete, then affix the risers with mortar, so please let me know the best solution. Also. I was thinking of using 2 pavers per step (800mm wide) but would 1 x paver suffice - would it be wide enough. Would it look OK, or should I stick to 2 pavers width?
Hi @ezzie,
I'm glad to hear it. Those bricks will go a long way to shore things up.
Keep us updated.
I'm excited to see you get stuck in!
