Reclaimed Stone Steps & Landings

Reclaimed stone can elevate a simple transition in elevation from plain functionality to an eye-catching design feature. Weathered and time-worn granite, bluestone and sandstone offer solid, durable footing and a natural visual connection to surrounding walkways, patios, entryways and more.

STONE STEPS FOR PATIOS & WALKWAYS

The inherently flat sides of reclaimed curbing make it an ideal choice for exterior steps. Salvaged granite, bluestone and sandstone, all commonly used for curbing in the past, create durable connections between level changes on patios and along walkways.

STONE LANDINGS

Large format antique stone serves as a perfect resting point between sets of steps, or for a transition at their end point. As either a larger version of the step material, or a different shape or variety of stone to create a visual contrast, a landing will bring depth and distinction to stone step designs.

Fequently Asked Questions

FAQS

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MONOLITHIC STEPS AND TREAD-AND-RISER STEPS?

Monolithic steps are constructed from single, continuous pieces of stone that form both the horizontal surface and the vertical face in one unit. In contrast, tread-and-riser stairs use separate pieces for the top surface (tread) and the vertical face (riser). Monolithic steps can offer a simpler, seamless aesthetic, while tread-and-riser assemblies allow for greater variation in material and dimension..

ARE THERE STANDARD RISER HEIGHTS AND TREAD DEPTHS FOR STONE STEPS?

For comfortable and safe stepping — whether building steps between levels in your landscape or outdoor circulation points — there are widely accepted dimensional guidelines that designers and builders follow:

Riser height (the vertical distance from one step to the next) is typically kept between about 6–8 inches. This range helps prevent steps from feeling too steep or fatiguing to climb.
Tread depth (the horizontal surface you step on) is usually at least 10–11 inches. Deeper treads give your whole foot room to land and make stepping easier and more secure.

Professionals often use a rise-to-run proportion where smaller risers pair with deeper treads to create a smoother walking rhythm. Even a difference of only a few tenths of an inch between steps can be noticeable, so aim for consistent dimensions throughout a stair run.

DO I NEED A PROFESSIONAL FOR RECLAIMED STONE STEP INSTALLATION?

Installing reclaimed stone steps and landings on a stable, long-lasting base requires careful grading, leveling, and often precise cutting. For uneven terrain or formal entry conditions, professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure proper performance and safety.
