Hello.

Fantastic Forum.

I am in a new home.

I am installing a paver patio (500 square feet).

I also want to install paver/retaining wall stairs leading down to the new patio (3 feet rise).

With the home being so new I have stability concerns around the foundation. I am assuming that it will take YEARS for the soil/clay around the foundation to settle out which is giving me pause as to installing the paver steps.

Can I install a rebar reinforced pad attached to my foundation a few inches below grade to build on ?

Are there other methods ?

Lastly, I have looked high and low for "how to's" on building stairs. I am looking at about a 3 foot drop from my back door down to my paver patio, 4 feet from the foundation. Any links to such material would be appreciated.
