Once the step risers and planter walls are built, proceed to install the flat paver stones for the step treads and the main landing area. The video specifically mentions "Unilock Copthorne" pavers for the walk-out section, suggesting a brick-like aesthetic, likely combined with larger, flat paver units (possibly Rivercrest caps or specialized step treads) for the actual walking surfaces of the steps. Lay these pavers tightly on the prepared bedding sand (for the landing) or on top of the block risers (for treads), ensuring they are level and have a consistent joint spacing. Use a rubber mallet to seat each paver firmly. Make any necessary cuts to fit around edges, posts, or the house using a paver cutter or concrete saw.

And I'm like, "Mom, you're going to be stepping out again into the furniture. Let us uh let us have steps on both sides." So, that's what this ended up being. Used Unilocks River Crest. Did a mix blend of Copthorn right there to blend in with the house colors. It looks gorgeous.
