  I personally think that that is a very very neat job. and yes i definitely like how its been finished. how have the risers been fixed? some sort of resin based bonding agent? or have i just asked a stupid question? lol it's just i have never seen or constructed them with a joint top and bottom

  Yeah it looks very good and no its not to much stone

  when the soil borders are tidied up it will look like the steps have always been there

  is the area to the front of the bottom step being re done at a later date as the riser on the bottom step is taller than the rest and you know what OCD people think about that don't you *wink*

  THat looks great! I try to get clients to go for something along those lines if we put steps in. Most though go for either stone blocks or brick.

  I have never seen them constructed with a joint on top or bottom either, but it looks good. Gives the steps balance. It could have been fixed with some kind of exterior adhesive or it could have just as easily been sand or cement. Looks good though !

  Haha, well spotted as always Mick. You would think that after making such a good job of the terrace that they would also do something with the path but I'm not sure what their plans are. I dont think they ordered any more stone, so maybe they have used another material?

  The terrace is very nicely done, but would look even better if the house was either rendered or painted to tie it all together? theres too much going on with the various brick work. meditteranian planting scheme anybody?? ;-)

  On the riser. Usually you might see a pointing gap at the bottom of the riser but its rare that you see a gap at the top aswell
