I'm a sucker for the neatness of the square.

a zig zag ramp across the slope might be safer and esier than a direct flight of steps but either way the stones or railway sleepers needs careful design to avoid being unstable after rain...Google instructions for retaining walls on steep slopes for techniques

We have recently added a new lounge room to our house and I need to connecting it to the old house using 2/3 internal sandstone slab - not paver style steps, laid brick style. I have pics that show exactly what I want but the job requires a stone mason, who may also need to cut sandstone into desired shapes and roughen edges . I am in need of a stone mason who can come to see the job and discuss things with us. I have been in contact with quarries re sourcing the sandstone but I really need a stone mason in the first instance, we are in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney. If anyone knows someone they can connect me with I would dearly appreciate the help. Kindest regards, Koula

These can easily be removed by grabbing a shovel and a wheel barrow and some manual labour, or pay someone to grab a shovel and shovel them out. But why were they laid there in the first place. Is there an easement through your property? Putting soil over them is an easy fix, but the soil will lower and the rocks will be there once again. But if that is what you want to do, then succulents would grow between the rocks. You will still have a unkind surface for your kids to run over. Spend some time and shovel them out. The children can help.
