Garden Stepping StonesNichols Bros. Stoneworks, Ltd is one of the leading manufacturers in the country of Cast Stone Garden and Architectural Ornament decorative garden stepping stones and garden stepping stones. Rain Shadow Gardens is a proud supplier of Stoneworks and their decorative stepping stones.

Our decorative stepping stones have proven to be a durable, attractive and high quality alternative to other materials (such as terra-cotta, plastic, clay, fiberglass or concrete).

The nature of our stone has a number of advantages. It has the appearance of carved stone at a fraction of the cost, and it ages much like natural stone-developing a rich patina quite rapidly. Our most recent mix design improvements and curing methods have given our stone greatly increased strength, weather tolerance and resistance to abrasion.
