I'm getting my driveway redone with asphalt and I want to replace the current wood steps I have with a paver staircase. I only need a few steps as the door is not that much higher, maybe 18 inches.
The asphalt company will be putting down gravel and compacting the area so I'm wondering if I should lay the blocks directly on that or put a couple inches of HPB or something else?
Also I've seen some people recommend leaving a 1/2 inch gap between the stairs and the house but this was for houses with wood exterior. My house is cinderblock base so does that still apply?
Also these steps are under a carport so it wouldn't be exposed to rain if that matters at all #diy source
