What happens here

The video shows the construction of steps leading up to the house and possibly integrated retaining walls. The speaker identifies the materials used for these structures: 'Unilock Lineo for the wall' and 'Ledgestone for the treads on the steps.' This indicates the use of high-quality, pre-manufactured concrete blocks for vertical elements and natural stone or concrete slabs for the horizontal step surfaces, designed for durability and aesthetic appeal.

Goal: Build multi-level steps and associated retaining structures

Tools and materials

  • Level — Ensuring the steps and walls are plumb and level
  • Masonry Trowel — Applying mortar or adhesive
  • Rubber Mallet — Adjusting and seating pavers/blocks without damaging them
  • Ledgestone Treads — Creating the flat, walkable surfaces of the steps
  • Masonry Adhesive/Mortar — Securing the pavers and treads together
  • Unilock Lineo Pavers Unilock — Building the vertical wall sections of the steps and any retaining walls
