Redoing Patio- need advice on stairs

Hey everyone - we are looking to demo our deck as it’s an awkward size to fit any decent patio furniture (that, and our dogs have absolutely destroyed it in the 10 months we’ve owned this home).

We are toying with the idea of doing a concrete pad for durability with the dogs and just a cleaner look. The pad would extend further out (the semi-circle filled with rocks would be part of the pad, and it would extend about to where the pile of junk begins at the edge of the yard)

The only issue is, the exit from the back door is 4ft off the ground. Currently our deck is raised and there are stairs from the back door to the deck, then stairs from the deck to ground level.

I asked AI to create some stair options but nothing really looks good or realistic. What are some decent solutions to this problem? We want to try to keep the concrete pad as low as possible to save on costs & have more privacy from our neighbors. Thanks in advance!!
