Stepping stones create a beautiful and natural pathway in your garden. You’ll be surprised at how easy it is to lay them yourself, and the result is everlasting, with slate stones that you can easily reuse in other parts of the garden if you, or the next generation, decide to make a change.
What you'll need
Our stepping stones are frost-resistant, slip-resistant, and locally sourced, with a classic look that harmonizes with our natural surroundings.
We offer stepping stones in four standard sizes, but if you’d prefer a custom size, our stonecutters can craft it just for you!
Lay the stepping stones on the grass in the spots where you want them placed.
Take a test walk to ensure they are spaced comfortably.
Cut out the turf around the stone using a spade.
Lift away the stone and roll off the turf. Also, remove some of the soil until you have a hole that is a couple of centimeters deeper than the thickness of the stone, allowing space for a layer of stabilizing sand/gravel as well.
To ensure that the stone stays level and stable over time, add a layer of sand/gravel as a base.
A layer of 2 – 3 cm is enough, and sand/gravel with a grain size of 0 – 8 mm is perfect. Smooth out the layer so that it is evenly distributed.
Put the stone in place and tap it down into the base with a rubber mallet. Jumping on the stone works just as well and is a bit more fun!
