Can you help me with a corten project that is a first. To prevent the corten 5' ht. wall from staining the bluestone paving and steps I am leaving a 12" wide channel filled with river rock. Along the steps however it is too wide and makes the stirs seem to be floating with a large gap along on side. so I am reducing the channel here to 3" , do you have any other ideas of how to run stairs next to a corten wall and do you think the 12" it too wide?

Hi, unfortunately my client has changed to just having a concrete wall with wood form work on it. The project is still under construction and should be completed by May 2013.
Hopefully the next project will allow the use of corten,
