Maximum Grade for Paver sidewalk
I am building a sidewalk to my rear walk out basement entrance that I want to clear with my Kubota Blower in the winter. So I don't want any steps. It rises 9 feet in about 80 feet the shortest distance. I can also make it longer up to about 100 feet long. The grade of course is not even. And of course there is a grade away from the house of 6 to 8 % that will have to be filled after the walk is done.
My brother says I am nuts that I will fall on my butt without steps.

Maximum Grade for Paver sidewalk
Kdsr,
Yes I am planning on using GP to fill most of it with little to no cutting except in one spot. I then plan on buying top soil to fill to grade next to the down hill side of the walk. I do not want to put any turns in it as the turns would have to be negotiable by my B7610 with front blower and year grader blade, too big of circle and also too much of a traction issue if I make the turns tight.
Yooper, I think you are picturing this other than it is, there is no drainage issue my house is built with the long side parallel to the ridge line of the hill. My proposed walk will also be parallel to the ridge line taversing it from my garage, across the back of the house to the other end where I have a patio door. Below is a rear profile look at the back of my house.
