I've considered the Chattahoochee River Rock for the lanai floor when we had Matt install it on our garage floor. I love the feel of it under my bare feet but hubby doesn't like the feel. So far, he is not wanting that application for the lanai floor.

I love how water runs through the rocks and drains off and does not pool. I've got to work on hubby about reconsidering this.

I doubt I would have the Chattahoochee River Rock applied to the steps. I would probably re-coat them with concrete stain to match the river rock. It would be easy to do that as there are several different colored rocks in the river rock.

I do find the river rock very slippery when I have sneakers on and the soles of the sneakers are wet. It's like an ice skating rink so I'm very careful when the bottom of my sneakers are wet. Other than that, I find the river rock to be non skid with all other foot wear if they are wet.
