Agla,

Appreciate the insight. Your first suggestion is most likely what we are going with. Roughly where that white line is will be a 6-7 inch step down roughly opposite of the stairs.. The raised patio will run around and back to the house, encompassing the whole 'square' and 'circle' area.

From stair to the patio ther will be a 5' - 6' span which will either be more paver or crushed stone, just for a different medium, over to the stair and the 'entrance' to under the deck, which will most likely be additional paver (11' x 22') at the same level as the stone.

I am curious to your second idea though. To get to the base of the stair with a contiguous field of paver, i need to come down 6.5" or so from the door. This looks to be a problem as the footer beolw the door is uneven and jagged at that point. Are you suggesting coming out further, digging down, and then working back to the stair?
