 Types of Stone Steps

• Simple Stone Steps: These are simple steps made by using large stones placed at intervals up a slope. These are placed with the treads formed by the natural substrate or by stone aggregate.
• Mortared Stone Steps: These are most commonly found near carparks and where access for materials is easy. Step stones are mortared for extra stability.
• Pitched Stone Steps: Stones are placed with a longer spacing on gentler slopes and then the gap is pitched with smaller stones.
• Capping Stone Steps: They are used mostly for staircases but are also suitable for short steep sections.
• Stone steps are available in three styles:
  
  • Sawed Steps: It is a rectangular shaped stone that is sawed on the top and bottom. These steps are often used for front walks and high traffic areas.
  • Split Steps: Stones are hydraulically split into rectangular shape retaining its natural appearance on each surface. They are often used for garden paths, frontwalks and stairways.
  • Quarry Steps: These are large pieces of stones set into ground. Even though the walking surface is flat these give an irregular look from top.
