How can we move a granite landing back into place?

We used a pry bar to pull the granite landing away from the sill of the front door to repair rot. Now we can’t set the leverage to move it back!!

    perhaps pry it up, slip round logs/dowels that will roll it back? Rock it up from the back and then raise it from the front so it slips backwards?

    There are inflatable devices that may help you, called Win Bags. Check with a home center or good hardware store. These bags will at least assist in lifting the granite. You'll need other devices to maneuver it back into place. Kate's idea of similarly sized logs should help.

    Can you get yourselves a couple of long steel pies and p[ace them in slots in the ground not too deep but enough to get the granite on top of the surface surround? Must be in the direction you want to move along to the desired spot. A small tractor hired to help with the load?
