Starfish Garden Stepping StonesCast using special frost-proof durable stone material that will provide years of pleasure in your home, garden, or office setting. A special antique finish brings out the individual personality.

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

Our decorative garden 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.

    Western Red Cedar is renowned world-wide for its unique weather-resistant properties:

    • IT DOSENT WARP
      Cedar is a lightweight and dimensionally stable wood that lies flat and stays straight. Which means it resists the natural tendency to crack and check, as you might find in many other wood species.
    • IT STAYS COOL
      Western Red Cedar has an incredible thermal co-efficient, meaning even on hot days, it is cool to sit in.
    • Its bacterial and fungal resistance coupled with the fact that Cedar is 80% the strength of Oak, makes it the most desirable wood to use for building Outdoor furniture.
    • IT WON’T ROT
      Western Red Cedar fibers contain oils that act as natural preservatives to help the wood resist rot and decay making it excellent furniture material for moist or humid climates. These properties also make Cedar a very popular material for hot tub and sauna areas.
    • Western Red Cedar has been used for generations for roofing and shingles, fences, fence posts, planking for small boat hulls and, of course, for outdoor furniture. A Western Red Cedar fence post will last up to 16 years in the ground. We have found that left out year round, untreated and uncovered in Canada’s rugged winters, the furniture will last a minimum of 8 to 10 years. Furniture that is brought inside or covered for the winter will last twice that long.
    • IT SMELLS GREAT
      Naturally occurring organic compounds called (thujaplicins) give off that richly distinct cedar aroma that smells so good to humans but makes the wood highly unattractive to insects, moths and other pests. This is why Cedar is a choice material for closet liners and blanket storage chests.
