We have these 2 paver steps that are awkwardly tall. I'd like to add 2 steps to this by adding another layer of pavers to the lower step here, then adding 2 steps going off of that.

Would it be a bad idea to just lay the new steps directly on the existing ground level patio steps?

I've seen mixed guidance on using construction adhesive vs just polysand. Any thoughts on that?

Makes sense. We briefly looked into mortar, but kept bumping into the other 2 options. Probably a case of DIYers trying to minimize work though.

Thanks for the advice!
