Walls have been concrete to set, shallow end poured, drain runoff created as well. Pump space created in case water becomes an issue. We just drop in pump and evacuate as needed.
WOW! That is a LOT of work done!! SWEET!
Now I want your really look at your steps. Think about this.........you cannot put too much/many supports under them. This is the number 1 problem with steps as they are not supported well enough or the support, if sand or such, washes out for some reason=the steps crack
You can use sand bags over blocks (keep the steps from rubbing on the hard blocks. There are many other ideas as well if you do a search.

Thanks much Kim for your helpful advice, I looked how the steps were supported and there are 4 equally spaced brackets supporting each step underneath. There is concrete going almost to the 2nd and then more rock after the plumbing is run on Monday. I really can see where that might be an issue.
Glad to help you have more work LOL But better to tackle it now when they are easy to get to.
When you say "bracket" what does it look like?

So the steps are sitting on the black uprights. The black uprights are fitted to ??? looks like white tubes but the tubes don't seem to support the steps. The place in the middle where there is no black upright is where I would really look at for extra support as well as finding a way to get something right under the steps that will stay there long term.

I saw that and thought the same thing. Stepping down in to the middle allows for some "oomph" downward, and over time that may be a problem. I wondered why they didn't add a fifth riser there?
