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
