Stone steps are available in three styles (sawed, split & quarry) and a large variety of sizes (2' - 8' wide). Please see the sample photos at the bottom of the page. In addition, although only native stone is shown in the below photos, stone steps can also be ordered in Anamosa stone (off white) or Fon du Lac (gray).
Sawed stone is just that, a rectangular shaped stone that is sawed on the top and bottom. The sides (faces) of sawed steps have a rough texture. Sawed steps are often used for front walks, high traffic areas and more formal secondary paths.
Split steps are stones that are hydraulically split into rectangular shaped. Because it is split instead of sawed, the stone retains a rough "natural" appearance on each surface. These steps are typically found in semi-formal settings (e.g. front walks on log homes, garden paths, stairways to the lake).
Quarry steps are simply large pieces of random stone set into the ground. Although the walking surface is relatively flat (similar to the split steps), the top view is irregular. Quarry steps are best used in small numbers or individually. They are usually used informal settings.
