Nice blocks those.
Where does the rainwater go?
Why were the teps such a hassle? Just because you chipped one, or some other reason?

Drive runs to an aquacell soakaway, steps were a nightmare from start to finish, the idea was to work around the existing steps and just face them with brick and top with the stone. turned out the existing steps were solid reinforced concrete top one being about 15" thick, and I had to break 3" off the surface to take the new stone but the mesh was only 2" down. The top steps had to be placed internal to some brickwork and wanting to keep nice tight joints just nowhere to get your hands in and out and they were pretty heavy. Also the stone wasnt that easy to get hold of the bank holidays caused our mason a few problems so I was 3 weeks late in getting the tops on! you live and learn :;):

Love the cock and balls in the middle of the patio MSH was that intentional I do that as a bit of a personal joke if the clients annoy me.
