We leveraged our cinder blocks and bought 12 paver blocks to build some steps for our patio.  Our goal was something that won’t wear and we have options to change it up in the future if we need a lower rise.  We doubled up cinder blocks along the front/side of the deck and then bough 12×12 pavers at Home Depot ($1.89 apiece).  For about $30, we had wraparound steps in only an hour.  We may buy some sealant and adhere the pavers to the cinder blocks.

Steps have a 10-inch rise and 12-inch run.  This design gives options to build 8-inch rise steps if needed in the future.
