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.
