Whether you want a clean, modern look or something that feels organic and rustic, stone block steps are a simple way to lift the whole space.

Durability: Stone steps stay serviceable for years with minimal repair.
Value: Good-quality stone steps can increase curb appeal and property value.
Customisable: Sizes, nosing profiles and finishes can be tailored to suit your design.
Safety: Choose textured finishes and correct rise/run for comfortable, safe steps.
Sweep regularly and rinse with water to remove dirt.
For light staining, use a mild detergent and a soft brush.
Re-seal where recommended by the supplier (especially for limestone in wet climates).
Inspect joints and edging yearly and re-bed or repoint if movement appears.
Ensure a stable, well-compacted foundation — poor sub-base is the most common cause of issues.
Use appropriate jointing or bedding material for your climate (cement, resin, grout, or sand/polymeric joints).
Consider nosing profiles and consistent riser height for comfort and safety.
If steps will receive vehicles or heavy loads, specify stone and thickness to suit the load.
Do stone steps need sealing?
Some stones benefit from sealing — ask your supplier. Sandstone often performs well unsealed; limestone sometimes needs protection in very wet or freeze–thaw zones.
Are textured finishes better?
Yes. A riven or sawn finish gives better traction outdoors than highly polished surfaces.
Can they be used with underfloor heating or near fireplaces?
Yes, most natural stones tolerate heat well. For fireplaces or hearths, choose heat-resistant options like granite or certain limestones.
