Need a Stairway in Your Garden?

If you have a pitched yard, you already know that not only does drainage become an issue, but it's harder to maneuver outside. That's why a lot of people will either level off their properties or create a set of outdoor stairs. If you're thinking of doing the latter, you might want to take a look down below and draw some inspiration from this cinder block staircase. It's still in progress in the picture but already looks sturdy as could be.

Obviously, you'll need to do some digging to correctly ground the cinder blocks. Also, be sure to add gravel or some type of drainage agent below the cinder blocks because if the foundation becomes muddy, your staircase could wind up collapsing.
