Natural Stone Step Types
We Have One Of The Largest Natural Stone Step Selections In The Region.
Not only do we have over 20 types of steps to choose from we typically have a deep inventory of most steps on site. You can typically choose your steps and take them with you, have them picked up by your contractor or have them delivered by us. If you are looking for stone steps for your next project? We urge you to come to Wicki Stone and experience the full range of steps and other landscape stone products we offer. Our natural stone step types are summarized in the 5 basic finishes detailed below.
We sell steps with 5 basic finishes
1) Natural - completely natural finish on all 4 edges and top and bottom
2) Natural Edge - sawn top and bottom but with completely natural edges
3) Snapped - one or more edges snapped by our stone guillotine, natural top and bottom
4) Dimensional - sawn all 4 sides and top and bottom, can have rock-faced finish
5) Reclaimed - Wide range of types and finishes
1) Natural Steps
Completely natural edges and completely natural top and bottoms. This is how they come out of the quarry - they have not been sawn or guillotined. Ideal for the most natural looking steps. Thicknesses can vary. Sold by weight. We sell 4 types of completely natural steps.

2) Natural Edge Steps (6" sawn heights)
Completely natural edges and the tops and bottoms are either sawn or guillotined. Most often a 6" tall, although custom heights are possible. The smoother tops and bottoms make it easier and potentially safer to walk on - recommended for steps where you still want the natural edge look but want a smoother top to walk on. We sell 4 types of natural edge steps.

3) Snapped Steps
A stone guillotine snaps the stone into steps with modestly irregular edges. The look is natural, but there are more predictable edges to the step. The edge lines are straighter than natural edge steps, which can make the steps easier to use for all ages. The tops are either sawn and then thermal treated for texture, or the tops are snapped. Typically 6" thick although there can be variations. The perfect balance between natural look and straight edge steps. We sell 3 types of Snapped Steps.

4) Dimensional Steps (With or Without Rockfaced Edges)
Precisely cut on all 4 sides and top and bottom. Can be the best option when a precise fit is needed - such as steps that rise up through a rock wall on both sides. Edges and the top surface are flame treated (thermaled) to provide a lightly textured surface. We sell 2 types of dimensional steps.

B) Sawn All 6 Sides with Rockfaced Edges

5) Reclaimed Steps
Reclaimed steps can come from a wide variety of sources in many different types and sizes. It is hard to categorize them other than they have been somewhere before - most often at demolition sites of old homes or buildings. We typically have a good selection of reclaimed steps but specific types come and go - it is best to stop by in person. Reclaimed stone can give a building project LEED points. We sell 3 types of Reclaimed Steps.
