Outside a glass sliding door, we have some wooden
steps that go from a small deck to the
ground. Right now, I have a brick under each
side but the bricks are slowly sinking into this
sandy soil, in Florida. Is there any way to
support the steps better? Should I pile another
brick on top
John,
I was all ready to write this snarky response about digging massive
footers, many bags of concrete, blah blah blah. All to support a couple
of steps. Then I realized you are in Florida, which means your water line
is down around six inches or so, which might be problematic for digging

Dan, thanks. Yep, the regular bricks. So, we may get some bigger stones.
Ron, thanks for your help as well. Good idea,
compacting the soil. Thanks for any other help from others, in advance.
