Terraced limestone steps.

MATERIALS YOU WILL NEED:

• One ton of flat, square, or rectangular stone - flagstone - at least 24 to 36 inches long and wide. Each of these stones will become one singular terraced step on the hill or berm.

TOOLS YOU WILL NEED:

• Pick

• Shovel

• Hand spade

• Gloves

These steps are the easiest to build because all the project requires is digging earth and inserting stones. However, it is labor intense so you should prepare for the amount of time and effort you will put into this project. Digging into a hill of earth requires digging into the soil and inserting the stones, placing the earth back as a support for each stone. It can take weeks to properly build terraced steps, but the effort will be worth it when you see how lovely your garden area looks with the added interest of a natural walkway.
