Natural Stone Steps - Weatheredge Limestone

THE STONE

Weatheredge Limestone comes from Colonial's own quarry on Manitoulin Island in Northern Ontario — stone pulled from the largest freshwater island in the world. Its density ratings place it among the most dense limestone in North America, which is exactly what you want in a stone that lives outside: it shrugs off freeze-thaw cycles and performs beautifully in and around water. The colour runs from warm beige and gold through soft blue-grey, often in the same piece, with natural veining that gives every slab its own character. The famous "weathered edge" — the deeply grooved natural quarry face — is where the stone gets its name, and left exposed it looks like it's been in place for a century.

Natural Weatheredge Limestone steps and landings, cut to your size. Sawn top and bottom so they stack true and install easily, with a textured, non-skid top that magnifies the stone's natural veining. Density is the quiet hero here: a step lives in water, salt, and frost, and this limestone is built for all three.

YOUR CHOICES — HOW TO ORDER

1. Thickness. The step height as laid. A 7″ riser is the classic comfortable step; 5″ and 6″ suit lower-profile runs and doubled treads. Weatheredge runs to a generous 132″ in length — long enough for single-piece garden and entry spans.

2. Depth — any inch. This is your tread (front-to-back). 12″ is a minimum walking tread; 14″–18″ feels generous underfoot; go deeper for landings and door stoops. Deeper cuts carry a small quarry adder that's already built into the price you see.

3. Length — any inch. Set your exact width; we bill at the next stocked length and cut to your number. The selector shows a per-square-foot figure alongside the piece price so you can sanity-check value as you size.

4. Edge — no charge. Rock-Faced: hand-chiselled, the classic squared step. Natural / Live Edge: the weathered quarry face left exposed — one of a kind, looks a century old the day it's laid (supplied as available; we confirm before production). Sawn: a clean, modern line.

5. Quantity and add to cart. Steps ship crated on freight; for oversized single pieces we'll arrange rigging with you.

Every price is per piece before volume discount — the discount applies automatically in the cart as your order total grows, so larger orders always price themselves.

GOOD TO KNOW

A comfortable outdoor stair keeps every riser identical — the body notices a half-inch difference at the third step. Solid stone steps make that easy: each piece is the riser. For squared multi-step runs, set each step back on step spacers (cheeks) so courses stay level and risers stay consistent front to back. Sawn top-and-bottom bedding faces mean the pieces stack true without shimming.

PAIRS WELL WITH

Prefer a hand-split rustic top? See our Split-Top Steps. Finish the entry with matching sill & coping and curbing, and use step spacers on squared runs.
