I hope you realize you just showed a million DIYers how to build steps just like these. You did a great job all the way around on this video! Thank you!
-
Thank you, you made this so easy to follow. I was quoted $1500 for steps and I now see I can do it myself. Thank you so much I will be doing it myself.
-
This is by far the most useful video I've found on building steps into a hill. Straight to the point, short and detailed. Well done and thank you!
-
This is exactly what I was looking for. The slipping down the slope at the first of the video was hilarious, and relatable. It’s exactly why I was searching how to build stairs into a slope in the first place! Thank you!!
-
Wow! I have been wanting to put steps on my hillside for 33 years but had no clue how to do it. You make it look very do-able, even for this old lady :) thank you so much! They are actually very attractive!
-
Thank you for sharing your project with us! I love how you just did it with some planning but nothing too much! we have a hill that needs some stairs so we can get to the rest of our back yard. Keep up the DIY!!
-
Thank you sooooo much for helping a single mom home owner on a budget solve a problem. My slope is half the size of your but still a pain .😊👍🏽keep the DIY videos coming . Also love the gravel driveway video. I have a 150 foot gravel driveway . It will have to do for now
-
This REALLY helped me understand how to do this. Thank you for posting an inexpensive, not too laborious process! Happy my slopes now have a beautiful alternative to high quoted costs---steps on a budget.
-
Thank you so much for posting this video—and keeping the the very important stages/process of how you problem solved along the way! We now own a house with a steeply sloped backyard in dire need of some erosion-stemming upgrades to the original access routes before the rain season(s!) start up again next month. Your design-build experience and process just saved me so much time and sanity! Much appreciated!

I've watched tonnes of videos on building steps in a short slope and this is far and away the most useful. Thank you from the Scottish Highlands!
-
I close on an older historic home soon and have a hilly backyard. Thank you so very much for this! Single and determined to DIY. 🤗
-
So helpful that you showed the real nitty-gritty, like the tamper and scoring the caps to cut them down to size. Thank you!
-
The steps turned out great. I like the way you showed the process too. Well done!
-
I came for the stairs , ill subscribe because you sound like me "im never getting it done today" "this is harder then i thought " "it worked better last time" hahah brother from another mother!
-
Thank you! I need to make some steps into a incline behind my house and the side of my house. I had no idea where to start. This is a big help.
-
I love this so much. Several years ago, I bought a home that had an unfinished dirt path to the back fence gate. It got muddy all the time. One day I got sick if it and crafted a beautiful brick and gravel walkway from the patio to the back gate that never got muddy. When I sold the place, the buy mentioned how much they liked the pathway I made.
-
Excellent job! Some of the best projects come from winging it! It's also creative and fun.
-
I'd add some buried pipe along the top and down the sides to help water drain away from the blocks, otherwise over the years you might see a slump. The size of the pavers though, you might get away with it but water is the enemy when dealing with gradients. It keeps washing things from top to bottom unless its given an easy way down that bypasses all the hard work. That and/or add some plants along the side to stabilise the soil
-
I love the realness of this video. Thank you for making it. I am going to attempt these in my hillside that is washing out.
-
Thanks so much! This gives me a better idea of what to do with our far back yard which is very sloped. I was trying to think of ways that were not too expensive and labor intensive and I think your idea is a good one. Now to get started…
