Get a staircase form, have it filled with concrete.
Set it.
Pull the form and then buy sliced 1/2" slab decorative stone and use mortar
thinset mix and slap them on yourself.

Marc;

you might try Whited's Masonry 243-5277 or 303-1644. They did our
patio. They recommended by people who had a walkway built by them. Their
portfolio showed several large stone stairs if I remember correctly
