how to put pavers or steps on front yard thwt is slightly sloped upwards

Hi, I’m looking at how to fix our front yard. It’s slightly sloped, so we aren’t sure if to make some steps or some pavers. We are looking for budget friendly options.

any ideas would be much appreciated. Ps. The letter box can be moved.

Re: how to put pavers or steps on front yard thwt is slightly sloped upwards

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @sandra2003. It's sensational to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about creating steps.

It looks like there isn’t quite enough height difference to justify several steps, but there might be enough for just one. One option is to level the yard to match the sidewalk and create a couple of steps. Alternatively, you could lay pavers on a slope that mimics the driveway’s incline, keeping it simple and functional.

 

Another idea to consider is building a small deck over this area, matching the height to your porch. This could extend closer to the sidewalk, with a single step down onto it. A deck of this size would be relatively budget-friendly and could provide a neat and modern look while addressing the slope.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
