Altico stepping stones bring nature & wildlife into the garden
GTN Xtra Promotion

 

Altico Garden Products have been adding character and charm into UK gardens this season with their Stone Merchant British Wildlife & Nature Stepping Stones. Featuring eight exclusive designs across two themed collections, these beautifully crafted stepping stones are perfect for garden centres looking to offer customers something truly distinctive.

 

British Nature

Featuring four floral etched illustrations, the British Nature Stepping Stones add a unique natural feel to outdoor spaces. Built to last many gardening seasons, they will add character for years to come. The natural barley stone-effect finish provides a timeless look for each of the four beautiful stepping stone designs - Wildflower, Sunflower, Butterfly, and Bee.

 

British Wildlife

The British Wildlife Stepping Stones allows customers to bring a 'Wildlife Feel' into their gardens. Featuring four stunning depictions of British wildlife, these stepping stones add a unique and picturesque element to any garden. Built to withstand the elements, they ensure long-lasting beauty and functionality. The natural stone-effect finish provides a timeless look whether it is the Robin, Hedgehog, Hare, or Owl design. 

Landscaping Innovators

Combining durable materials with artistic detail, these stepping stones aren’t just decorative, they’re conversation pieces that invite customers to connect with nature in their own back gardens.

 

As the leading innovators for the landscaping category, Altico are proud to provide Garden Centres with quality solutions to make beautiful outdoor spaces. These solutions are not just good ideas, they are delivered in the best format for retail. This is why the British Nature and British Wildlife collections are available as a mixed pallet of four designs, allowing retailers to showcase variety while streamlining stock management. This also allows garden enthusiasts to buy a mix of the designs to create an enchanting walkway.

 

With designs exclusive to Altico, garden centres can confidently stand out with a range that celebrates conservation and creative landscaping.

 

The popularity of these collections has sparked range development for the 2026 season, which is set to be unveiled at the upcoming Glee exhibition thismonth. Come and see the Altico team at Glee Birmingham September 16th-18th 2025 (Stand 10F51–G50) who will be presenting the next phase of exciting natural paving innovations.
