Concrete steps

The number of steps, the width, and the landing at the top.

• Attach your Sheet so people see your sizes and the math.
• Your town is enough. Never your address; check photos for house numbers and plates.
• Is it safe? A safety question here goes to pros verified in masonry, unless you pick another trade. Only they can call it safe or unsafe.

3 concrete steps, 1′ 9″ rise: 1.56 cu yd of concrete, 4 rebar bars (#4 × 20′), the forms and base, and a 5′ × 4′ stoop.

What people get wrong:

• No isolation joint at the house. Steps poured tight to the foundation crack it, or lift and crack themselves, as the ground moves.
• Uneven risers. More than ⅜″ between steps trips people and fails inspection.
• Forgetting the nose edge. A sharp nose chips the first winter.
