About This Product

The MS International Rustic Canyon 18 in. x 12 in. Sandstone Step Stone features multi-color shades and a natural texture that helps add a decorative accent to your landscape. The stone comes in random shapes and is easy to install. NOTE: Inspect all tiles before installation.

The filling can work its way out and it may be necessary to refill these voids as part of a normal maintenance procedure. All natural stone products should be sealed with a penetrating sealer. After installation, vendor disclaims any liabilities.

        do I need any base ie: sand or anything when installing these on dirt ground?

        Answer This Question

        Here are the installation steps for the stone: Prep the surface with a weather barrier and wire lath, apply a scratch coat and let it dry, set the corners first with 3/8″ mortar, install the flat stones row by row while keeping level, then grout the joints and clean once dry - full details can be found in the installation guide https://images.thdstatic.com/catalog/pdfImages/84/8440222a-1eef-4c19-af78-906ab3c62c6a.pdf

          I didn't use anything for an area that was just grass. They sank in nicely and are flush with the grass.

                Does the surface of the stone become slippery when wet?
                BySep 20, 2024
                1 Answer | 
                Answer This Question

                Sandstone is known for its natural slip resistance, especially when it has a riven or textured finish. These textures help provide grip, making it a safer choice for outdoor spaces. However, smoother sandstone can become slippery when wet, so it's important to consider the finish based on the intended use. For areas prone to moisture, opting for a textured finish is often the best choice to maintain safety. Good luck for your Project

                  Can these stones be drilled
                  ByJul 28, 2024

                  Answer This Question

                  Yes, this natural sandstone step stone can be drilled. To do this effectively and avoid damaging the stone, use a masonry drill bit designed for stone and masonry. However, it is always best to consult with a professional installer to determine the most suitable drilling method for the step stone. Thank you for your interest in MSI Venetian Gray 18 in. x 12 in.

                    Can this be used to create a waterfall emptying into an outdoor stock tank with fish?
                    ByMar 30, 2024

                    Answer This Question

                    No, this sandstone step stones are not suitable for creating a waterfall into an outdoor stock tank with fish. Sandstone can deteriorate over time when exposed to water and its rough texture may harm fish. It's better to use materials designed specifically for water features to ensure the health and safety of aquatic life. Thank you for your interest in Rustic Canyon 12 in. x 18 in.

                      The stones arrived earlier than expected - they were nearly stacked with no damage - the pavers are a great accent to my garden - easy to move around and position - it’s currently a work in progress !

                        The stones are good looking. It is heavy enough for pavement without additional fixation. The color and quality is fine.

                        Easy and beautiful
                        Perfect stepping stones for my new little pea gravel walkway. Only took a few minutes to install. These are great for DIYers looking for light flagstones that are easy to lift. The colors are beautiful! I’m just hope the humidity and rain here (southern US) doesn’t turn them green, maybe I’ll seal.

                          This little slab makes a perfect base for my 14” wide soapstone sculpture which is displayed outdoor on a 12x12” stand. Without the step stone, the sculpture extends unattractively over the edge. The sandstone provides the perfect amount of extra surface to display the sculpture to its best advantage. The color and texture are perfect for my purposes. And, though the stones are approximately 12x18”, there is a lot of variation in the actual shapes, so I was able to find one that complimented the sculpture perfectly. Can’t speak to durability yet, since it has been in place less than a week.

                          I wish the shape of these actually looked like the pic. When I received these, they were shaped like the number eight. The size looked a little small also. I took the first set back because of the shape. I ordered more to be delivered but the shape was also the same only a few varied in shape. Even though I still used them these weren't the shape I was looking for. The color of several stones also varied.
