  i like the cinder block idea but why didn't you turn them on their side so that they didn't fill with weeds and you would then have smooth flat cement steps essentially? and you do you mow the grass that has built on top of each step?

  Found these on the Internet for the requesting party. Yes you can turn on their sides, but I would fill with dirt for stability. I never mow over any concrete or rock area, as it ruins the mower blades, weeds can easily be killed with boiling water or vinegar. If grass, a weed wacker or garden shears can easily trim the area to keep it tidy.

We had a little hill in our backyard and built a boardwalk to go down into the yard. It looks cool and has held up well! https://www.justmeasuringup.com/wooden-pathway/

We also built steps for our shed using pre-cut step stringers from Home Depot. We did a tutorial on it here - https://www.justmeasuringup.com/shed-ramp-and-steps/
