re-setting stone steps and a tumbling stone wall

Beachwood, OH

Does anyone have a clue how much it ought to cost me to have stone steps re-set?

I have 3 stone steps that go down from a path, they have sunk and are now sitting at a downward slant which makes them dangerous. I think they were put in by a non-professional or the last owner. ( who also used sand instead of limestone grit to set the brick path in and it grows every weed there is :()

They are too heavy for me and DH to handle plus I'm pretty sure we don't know what we're doing.

Next, the former owner built a laid stone wall to retain a flower bed. Bambi wanted to climb instead of use the steps to munch my hosta so some of the stones have tumbled down. I apparently do not get the knack of stacked stone because I can't make those stones fit any way I've tried. Is there a website somewhere that tells how to do this?

Any thoughts?

I googled "stone masonry" and got a bunch of hits. Here is one that would list proffessionals: http://www.stonefoundation.org/
