Begin by inspecting the stone steps, particularly the treads and risers, for signs of damage such as cracks, chips, or loose sections. Use a pry bar to gently lift and remove any stones that are no longer securely bonded. Follow up with a trowel or a similar scraping tool to clear away loose mortar, old concrete, dirt, and any other debris from the underlying step structure. This ensures a clean and stable surface for new repairs. The video highlights thin, loose stones as the primary issue.
