Landscaping with Steel

The landscaping that you do at your home or business can really change the way your building looks, by adding color, texture, and excitement to the space surrounding your building. If you have never considered the ways you can use steel in your yard, here are just a few ideas to get you started. There are so many different looks and feels for steel that this is just a starting list—the true possibilities are endless when you use your imagination for landscape steel.

Steel Edging
When you want to dress up your plant bed, or have areas that you want to set apart from the rest of the yard, steel edging is a great way to make those spots stand out. You can get a wide variety of different steel colors and shades to highlight the best parts of your landscaping. Since it’s a very durable and strong material (one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any metal), steel from Wasatch Steel can withstand years of abuse out in the yard without wearing out. It is much more durable than plastic, wood, or even concrete or brick, which can crack and get damaged over time. In addition, it requires very little maintenance (if any at all), making it ideal for anyone who wants to maximize enjoyment of the yard while minimizing work required to keep it looking great.

Steel Railings
You can also use steel as a great decorative piece for your deck railing. One of the benefits of steel railings, including balusters, spindles, and other parts of your deck railing, is that it will not only look great when you install it right at first, but it will remain looking great for many, many years to come. There are dozens of different designs, shapes, and sizes that you can choose for your deck railing, and Wasatch Steel has all the variety you need at our Utah steel supermarket. We can even create custom designs for your railings, or you can choose from a huge selection of unique designs from our steel designers.

Steel Yard Art & Garden Ornaments
Another place where you can really let your personality shine through in your yard is with steel yard art or garden ornaments. These objects come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, from pre-made artwork that you can simply install, to the odds and ends you’ll find at the steel supermarket of Wasatch Steel. We collect all kinds of interesting shapes and sizes of steel pieces so you can have the freedom to create your own artwork. We have everything from small pieces that you can make wind ornaments or place in your flower garden to larger pieces you can use to make a unique fire pit or chairs and benches for the yard.

The beauty of using steel in your yard is that it is limited only by your imagination. If you can think of a way to use steel, Wasatch Steel can help you find just the right pieces to make your vision come to life.

Steel for All Size Operations & Projects

Steel is one of the most universally used materials in our world today, and for many different reasons. The main reason so many people like building with steel is that it provides a very strong and reliable building material no matter what you are planning to construct. Its uses range from supporting the tallest skyscrapers and the longest bridges to more simple applications, such as anchoring the foundation of a home with steel rebar. In fact, steel has one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any metal in the world. In addition, it is often a favorite because it is widely available and often less expensive than other metals you might use in construction.

If you are working on a building project, no matter the scope or size, you should consider using steel. Here are just some of the applications you can use it for, and some of the reasons it makes such a great choice.

Residential Building & Construction
Whether you are an individual looking to build your dream home, or you are a large-scale contractor who is building several homes every day, Wasatch Steel in Utah has the materials that you need to create a beautiful, durable home. Unlike wood, which is often used as an alternative to steel for framing residential homes, steel can provide you with a stronger base and it is more resistant to fire or severe weather, which makes it a safer option. Wasatch Steel is the Utah steel supermarket, offering several different types, grades, and shapes of steel that you can use as an individual do-it-yourself home builder, or as a contractor. There are no minimum orders, which means you can get exactly what you need regardless of the scope of your project.

Commercial Building Construction
If you are someone who works on commercial construction, buying quality steel is important. You can find a wide selection of all the sizes and shapes that you need, from I-beams to angle iron and more at Wasatch Steel in Utah. If you try to buy it direct from the mill, they often have large minimum order requirements, which makes it difficult if you’re not a high volume construction contractor. Instead, get the same quality steel from Wasatch Steel’s Utah steel supermarket and get better service.

Infrastructure Projects
Steel is all around us in our infrastructure, from the bridges we use to the roads we drive on, the schools our children attend, and more. When you have an infrastructure project that requires a strong, durable, affordable metal, steel is the way to go.

Smaller Scale Steel Projects
Even if you are not a large-scale commercial construction manager, or a residential contractor building with steel, there are still many uses for steel. It is great for landscaping, do-it-yourself building projects around the house, deck and stair railing, and more. You can also use it to add flair to your artwork and projects, or as a decorative element in your garden or your home. Wasatch Steel is your Utah steel supermarket, with a wide selection of unique pieces of excess prime and used metal so you get a great price and beautiful steel for everything you need.
