We bought this house a year ago and something needs to be done with this walkway before next winter. Covered in ice or snow it's deadly. I hope you can tell from the pictures but it has a pretty good slope to it, the stairs as well. I assume this just happened over time. Over the 15 feet from the concrete to the stairs it drops about 18 inches. I'm not sure exactly where to start.
If I raise it to nearly level to eliminate the slipperiness, do I have to raise the surrounding area as well. I don't want bury the Wisteria tree too much. On the stairs side of the fence it drops off quite a bit too.
Should I start with stairs and get them where they need to be first, then connect the walkway ?
thanks for any advice or input you can offer.
