The next section along the path after the new section we built last spring (moving a bunch of boulders and creating stone steps), is a short, steep section leading up to a large, flat boulder. We thought wooden stairs would be best here. Colin used mostly reclaimed or leftover lumber for this project.
He built it over two weekends. He built most of the steps and hauled dirt to fill the treads. We used stones on the side to keep the dirt in place. The next weekend, Colin finished the bottom two steps. He also moved some more large stones to build a small retaining wall to create a landing at the bottom of the steps. Evelyn helped Alyssa plant two non-invasive, native ferns, and they transplanted one Christmas fern from elsewhere.
