I love the look of this wood. Pine. Is it pine? I’m imagining it’s some sort of pine. A white pine? Did I make that up? I also took a field botany course in college where we identified many trees but I don’t remember so much from that class either…

A commenter a while back didn’t like the cool slate steps I had featured. So what do you think of the brick option? I have to be honest, sincerely, I freaking love the astroturf covering. I’m not sure it goes with brick, but think if you had astroturf down the whole steps, you could have a sweet practice putting green.
