Frequently Asked Questions
How far apart should stepping stones be?
Space stepping stones 22-26 inches apart, measured center to center, for a comfortable walking stride. Adjust slightly based on the primary user's step length.
How do I install stepping stones?
Place each stone, trace around it with a shovel, remove sod, dig 4 inches deep, add 2 inches of gravel, top with 2 inches of sand, and set the stone. The top should be level with the surrounding ground.
What size stepping stones should I use?
For comfortable walking, use at least 16-inch diameter stones. For side-by-side paths, 12-inch stones work well. Larger 18-24 inch stones create a more dramatic look and are easier to step on.
