I wouldn't use anything wooden gets very slippy when wet.
Rough tamp Will get plenty of grip on concrete.
There's a few ways to do it, but it depends on how much you want to spend.
Widening the tread of the steps and lowering the riser height per step would seem the best option to me, You seem to have the space to do it.
would need photo's of the front to see it from all angles to may proper judgement.
Are these steps actually within your property boundary ?
They look like they are public steps on the highway (footpaths are highway)
You will need council permission ( highway inspector will need to give permission ) and they will dictate who you can employ to do the works (Streetworks Registered Public Indemnity insurance and such)
And what you do will have to comply with regs, You may find that you have to put tactiles above and below the steps, even if they ain't there now, to comply with current regs,
