Stepping Stones Installation

When it comes to stepping stones, there are some installation and maintenance recommendations that must be taken care of. Read on!

It can be any section in the garden or a pathway. However, one much carefully plan it so that it is both aesthetically beautiful and functional.
• Site Setting Up: Prepare the space where the walkway will be before laying your stepping stones. Trash, grass and weeds should all be removed from the assigned area. Establishing a level and unobstructed platform for your stepping stones is crucial.
• Base Layer: You'll need to add a layer of sand or crushed gravel to create a flat and sturdy foundation for your stepping stones. This layer helps to prevent uneven settling and offers stability. Ensure the base layer is flat and compacted correctly to prevent further movement.
• Spacing Between Stones: Stepping stones should be spaced evenly apart. The path's style and purpose will determine how far apart the stones are from one another. Stones can be placed closer together for a more formal walkway or farther apart for a more casual garden path.
• Levelling: Use a level to ensure that each stone is at the proper height and level with the surrounding ground. To reduce the chance of trips and create a safe walking surface, this step is crucial.
• Safe in Position: Use a rubber mallet to gently tap each stepping stone a few times to ensure it is securely positioned within the base layer. It will increase the likelihood that the stones will remain in their current location over time and not shift.
• Fill the Gaps: The stepping stone spaces need to be filled in order to complete the project. To fill in these spaces, you can use ground cover plants, gravel, or sand. It stops soil erosion, helps stabilise the stones and enhances the beauty.

Maintenance Tips for Stepping Stones:

• Frequently Cleaning: You must clean your stepping stones to keep their attractiveness. Pick a day with good weather, making sure the natural stones are dry and free of moisture from the night before.
• Sealing: Proper sealing is necessary to prevent damage to stepping stones, particularly in high-traffic areas or severe climates. The stones are protected by a high-quality sealer, making cleaning simpler.
• Stains & Discoloration Prevention: These stones are exposed to harsh weather and can occasionally result in stains or discolouration. A straightforward mixture of water and baking soda can frequently solve small problems.
