ROMAN Dragonfly Stepping Stone

Yes, it is crafted from cement, which provides the necessary weight and durability for foot traffic. However, like most decorative concrete accents, it will last longest if placed on a level, stable surface like packed soil or sand rather than uneven ground.

While the cement construction is designed for outdoor use, concrete can be susceptible to cracking in freezing temperatures if moisture gets trapped inside. To extend the life of the stone, we recommend bringing it indoors or covering it during harsh winter conditions.

Installation is straightforward. Simply clear a flat area where you want the stone to sit, ensure the ground is level, and lay it flat. For a more permanent placement, you can dig out a shallow indentation so the stone sits flush with the surrounding grass or mulch.

The intricate design is molded directly into the cement, so the pattern itself will not wear away. Depending on your local climate and sun exposure, you may notice some natural weathering or fading of the finish over several seasons, which often adds to the stone's rustic, garden-worn charm.

The stone has a textured surface due to the dragonfly motif, which provides some natural grip. However, like any outdoor stone or concrete product, it can become slick when wet, so use caution if placing it in high-traffic areas that frequently get rained on.
