Advice with brick walkway
I'm planning on doing a brick walkway. It will be 4' wide and 26' long. Over the 26' there is about an 11" drop. I'm using 6"X12" bricks on a uniform flexible base system of 6" crushed stone, 1" of sand and the bricks are 2" thick. I'm wondering if I will be able to lay the bricks over this span without problem? Or will I need to address the 11" drop somehow to avoid ending up with an uneven walkway? Thanks for any advice or tips you can provide.

I would probably make one 7" step where appropriate on the run. If not, I would S-curve it a bit.

Thanks. I will probably go the step route. I was hoping I wouldn't need one but it will be worth it for an even walkway. I'm thinking somewhere close to the middle of the run would be ideal?
