That's why the first thing I do is build stairs on my hillsides. This makes landscaping so much easier by using outdoor stairs to build steps to build more a pleasing landscape. Hopefully this will make your outside stair building easier. in this video i'm going to demonstrate the easiest way to make stairs for hillside gardens and terraces About four years ago i used this method to make a 100 step staircase that ran the entire length of one side of my property [Music] now i don't have any stairs that i need to make on my property right now so i'm going to make a scale model to demonstrate how to do this now the best lumber to use in this particular application on a hillside stairway is two by six and two by six is best because anything over seven inches high on a on a riser is uh is too much for the the normal step of a person and so six inches kind of falls into a kind of a safe spot so what i do is the first thing that i do is i make a box i set the bottom and the top risers and i make sure that the top of these risers is level so you're going to get a level you're going to set it on each of these and you're going to level them out once you have the top and the bottom razors in the right location you're going to pre-drill on either side two holes and at the top you're gonna pre-drill two holes and then you're gonna screw it all together now i'm just doing this for demonstration purposes so you're going to have two screws on each side of each riser now once you've completed the box what you need to do is you're going to flip it over and you're going to staple weed barrier to the underside of the box [Music] obviously you will be using a lot more staples because you will be doing it in real life okay once you have the box and you have the weed barrier stapled to the underside of it i like to cross cut a piece of wood that would be roughly the same dimensions maybe even a little bit longer to make the stakes and what you're going to do is you're going to cut a little slash in the underside there of the weed barrier you're going to take a mallet and you're going to pound this stake all the way down into the ground until it's below the level of the top of the riser and you're going to do that on both sides on the bottom you're going to pound in the second one and then you're going to screw them in from the outside probably you're going to use three and a half or four inch screws probably four inch screws to do all of this construction okay once the bottom is anchored you're going to set a step [Music] and you're going to figure out the point that would be straight across the top of the step and the point that would line up for the bottom of the next riser once you have that you're going to pre-drill holes on either side of it you're going to screw it in and you'll repeat this process until you make it all the way up your stair now you're going to need to figure out based on your slope and your angle and your preference the spacing um a lot of times i just divide the space up evenly as long as it's that the the bottom of the next riser is about the same level as the top of the previous one so there you have it the most basic overview of how to do a section of stairs on a hillside it's important that you use ground contact pressure treated lumber otherwise it won't last very long and it's also important that you pound a two foot stake on either side into the ground all the way so that it's below the level of the riser this is to ensure that it really stays put the final step obviously is you're going to fill each of these bays with gravel and it has to be gravel it can't be sand it can't be dirt because then they'll just be raised beds full of weeds so it has to be gravel i'm sure i'm probably presenting more questions than answers but please if you have a question or a comment please leave it in the comment section below
