Landscaping a steep Hill until this happened.
What happens here
With the base prepared, carefully lower the heavy stone steps into position using a mini excavator. Multiple crew members work together: one operating the excavator, and others guiding and adjusting the step by hand. Use a level to ensure each step is perfectly horizontal and a rubber mallet to make fine adjustments, tapping the stone into its final, level position. This process is repeated for each of the 18-19 steps, ensuring a consistent rise and run for comfortable and safe ascent/descent.
Goal: Install each stone step with precision, ensuring proper leveling and alignment.
