Before you venture into making your own Garden Stepping Stones, you will need to know more about the characteristics of Stepping Stones. Their purpose, practicality and limitations. On Stepping-Stone you will discover that making Stepping Stones can be very productive, simplistic and of course a great way to improve your garden or landscape.

Stepping Stones are a great way to add character and practicality to your garden. With a wide variety of styles, shapes and colours. They make perfect accents to just about any area. Laying flat slabs through a grass or gravel area makes a practical path and a pleasing feature. They also protect grass where traffic is heavy.

Each stepping stone is highlighted by the contrasting surface, making an easy target for your feet and adding interest to a flat landscape. Where the line can be curved, or made to disappear through a planted border to re-emerge beyond the plants, it draws the eye and increases the urge to follow it.

Stepping Stones have their limitations. They are not suitable for steep slopes. For the very old or very young a continuous path may be easier to manage. Where a path is made through a lawn, the slabs must be laid flush with the soil surface, thus allowing the mower to pass straight over when cutting the grass. On the other hand, when slabs are set in a gravel area, they work best if slightly proud of the surrounding surface, reducing the likelihood of gravel being scattered on them.

Serving a dual purpose as decorative item and pathway, stepping stones are a great solution for problem areas. Is there a path worn across your lawn? Instead of struggling to grow grass over it, why not add decorative stepping stones and create a low-maintenance path. Do you have a flower garden that looks unfinished? Add a meandering path made with pretty stepping stones. Of course, stepping stones aren’t just for problem areas.Stepping stones are a perfect decorative accent in and around all areas of your yard.
