How do I make a rounded stair step for my deck?
I have an L-shaped deck with no step-up yet. It is about 10 inches from the ground to the top of the deck. I would like to make a step or 2 in the right angle of the deck but think it would look nice to be rounded in the front. I need some help in completing this project.

Make a pattern of size and shape you wish. Use it to Cut the wood for your step and add it to the precut step risers.

Maybe half an octagon or hexagon shape might b tad easier n add more illusion!!??!
A lot easier way to have that step up (and not having to round the wood --which is a bit tricky) would be to add a stone step at the bottom - either out of bricks, pavers or any size or stone of your choice. since it isn't a huge area it shouldn't cost too much--the ground needs to be leveled--packed hard and flat, put a bed of fine gravel and then lay out your pattern with the stone. you 'ease' the outside bricks to create the rounded shape. I'm sure there are all kinds of how-to's online. it would also make a nice and solid contrast to the deck.
