5 out of 5 starsThese slate stepping stones are excellent quality. They seem very sturdy and were easy to place, even as they are heavy.

Frequently asked questions
About our hand-split slate, shipping & returns
Welsh quarrymen dug this Maryland quarry in the early 1800s. The pit is a pond now — ours. Old roofers only took about the top 20% for tiles — we work the rubble piles they left, mountains of stacked slate. We bring it in by wheelbarrow, split it with hammer and chisel the old way, then finish it on the saw. Handcrafted slate, still made the quarry way.
