Octagon Deck hole-working on deck floor

Almost finished screwing down the deck boards on the 2nd floating deck. For this one we dug down quite a bit due to the grade of the yard. We only wanted a one step-up landing instead of two steps. Typically, when building these Dek-Block type decks you don't have to dig much at all. But we moved a LOT of dirt. We are reinforcing part of the grade with standard cement blocks. once this deck is completed, we'll add a second course of cement blocks to retain the natural grade. WOW, did we move dirt. We're almost done!

Nicely done. Do you have any updated photos of the finished product? Any suggestions/recommendations as I plan to do an octagonal deck similar to this one. Thanx
