***Updated below with pic of started project.
I am in the process of refacing my front steps -
I got Bluestone for the treads, a ThinStone (ledge/strip cut) for the risers and thinner Bluestone of the middle landing as I framed out the landing with the 1 1/2 inch Bluestone.
These steps are 11 inches wide so I was told to go with 12 inch wide treads as I wanted to create a bit of a hangover. So it now seems that I need to move out the treads away from the steps a bit so I can face the risers. This is all fine but now you will be able to see on the side that the tread doesn't meet the riser completely.
We are not facing the sides.
Can I just fill in the holes on the side with the mortar I am going to be using?
These are the steps unfinished. The paint from the risers was powerwashed and the metal railings are down now.
