Massarelli's Fire Department Stepping Stone

The Classic Iron finish is designed to develop a natural patina as it is exposed to the elements. Over time, this process softens the initial color, giving the stone a more weathered, rustic appearance that blends seamlessly into a garden environment.

Yes, the stone is crafted from durable cast stone concrete, which is designed to withstand outdoor conditions. However, to prevent potential cracking from freeze-thaw cycles, we recommend ensuring the stone is placed on a level, well-draining surface.

No installation is required. Because it weighs 34 pounds, it is heavy enough to stay in place on its own. Simply clear a flat area in your garden or pathway and set the stone directly onto the ground.

While the relief design remains consistent, the handcrafted nature of the concrete casting means there may be slight variations in texture and finish. These subtle differences are part of the artisan quality and ensure that your specific stone is one-of-a-kind.

The stone features a textured finish, which provides better traction than a smooth, polished surface. While it is safe for standard garden pathways, it is always best to use caution when walking on any stone surface during or immediately after rain.
