Its really nice to work with stone and to repurpose all of the existing material. We could not get any machinery in so it was decided to cut up the original large steps into individual blocks and face them to match the coursed stonework of the house. When we dismantled the original step it soon became clear that it covered a large void that dropped down to the base of the cellar. We solved the issue by building off a reinforced concrete pad around the hole and placing concrete lintels over. The steps and patio were finished with sandstone and a bullnose finish ground into the edge of the steps to soften the look.
