Can I lay stepping stones on soil?
The stones should lie just below the level of the surrounding soil so that you can mow over them, rather than having to go around.
What sizes do stepping stones come in?
I have found that garden stepping stones that are roughly 18 inches wide by 14 inches deep are ideal. The stones should be approximately 1 to 1.5 inches thick. They can be thicker, but this just creates more work for you as thicker means heavier.
What kind of concrete do you use for stepping stones?
A good general-purpose sand-mix concrete is probably the best choice. An 80-pound bag should be enough to cast 5 to 6 stones, depending on their size. The texture is fine enough to allow you to embed decorative glass or pebbles, and it can easily accept imprints.
How far apart should my stepping stones be?
You’ll want to space your concrete stepping stones in such a way as to accommodate the average human’s stride. Spacing them 24 inches on center is just about right for most people.
What to do with step stones in yard?
