Our first project in 2018 was to add stone steps on the garage side of our house. As you can see in the pictures below, we have a fairly steep slope from the garage door to Boots' Run. It was a bit awkward to maneuver.

On Day 1 the crew brought in a load of large rocks to use at the bottom of the slope.
First load
I was amazed to watch them unload these stones with no equipment.
Nothing but muscle versus rock
The guys started at the bottom with some huge stones for a landing at the arbor and garage door.

The steps continued up to Boots' Run.
Boots' Run gate opened. To the left leads further uphill to the back lot. Straight down leads to the garage door and parking area.
At the entrance to Boots' Run the path veers off and leads to the land behind Two Holt. We decided to go ahead and add steps here, too, because we want to add an outdoor fireplace in that area and we need steps to access it.

These steps lead around the top of Boots' Run to the back land.
Phil and I can't wait until spring when we can landscape around these beautiful steps!
