Ya what ever, i'm stating a nother option, for weather condition in this area, we get any where from 25 to 48 freeze thaw cycles here so when the jointing sand freezes it pushes every time. we pour all stoop and or any concrete that is 21/2 feet from the foundation edge drill 3/4" holes in foundation install rebar and hydrolic cement to hold that, than we drill holes on the outter edge of the structure 3' to 4' deep and pour concrete so it dosent move. the polysand for the joints is better the no ploysand for keep moisture out and we use portland on the outter edge only. doing it that way cut my repairs down by 98% then when we did it with cinder bricks or retaining blocks. yes it costs alot more but sending guys out there every other year is more expensive for me then the other way and the customer pays for the concrete way or i don't do the job.
i agree with doing it your way but i don't think you get the extreme freeze thaw cycle that we do.
