Limestone Steps & Stone Treads
Nothing creates a more dramatic entrance than genuine limestone steps, cut to order for a truly customized look. Steps, treads and risers are ordered in standard sizes or custom cut to meet your specifications for homes, commercial buildings, pools and garden areas.
Cut-to-Order Steps vs. Paving Slabs
This page covers steps, treads and risers cut to order at their own dedicated thicknesses — steps 5" to 8" thick, treads 2" to 4" thick. This is a different product from the large-format paving slabs described on Paving & Flagstone, which are big natural flagstone pieces that some clients choose to lay as informal garden steps instead. If the project calls for dimensioned, cut-to-order steps and treads, this is that product; if it calls for large natural slabs repurposed as garden steps, that's the paving page.
Stone Types
Steps and treads are cut from Ebel Mocha Ridge® (Brown Limestone), Eramosa, Algonquin, Ebel Pearl®, and Beige or Black Limestone, with surface, face and edge treatments consistent across all of them.

Pairs With Pool Coping
