Garden steps - options?

[thismonkeyhere]

In my garden, there is a tiny bit of lawn 'twixt patio and driveway which is the most direct route from cars to door. It is about 50cm wide, and drops about 30-35cm. It's too much for most people to step over, and can be a bit treacherous when wet.

Obvious solution, some kind of step or steps - but what is the best/easiest option? Preferably something that I could do myself - I'm not a builder by any stretch, but I am competent with the DIY in house and garden.

Just a paving slab resting on some bricks half the height of the drop?

I made some for my conservatory out of decking planks. You could do something similar?

Thanks for suggestions.

So - just dig into the slope and use bricks/paving slab and/or decking plank to form step?

What about holding back the newly exposed soil cliff?

Have you got a picture of the area in question?

Yep - dig in to the slope and bricks and paving slab on top, decking planks can be quite slippy in certain conditions imo

We have railway sleepers as steps up onto the lawn. Works quite well.
