    Product Overview:
    Natural Stepping Stones are a great addition to add character and interest to a garden or landscape project. Whether your decorating a rockery, pond area or just hoping to create a unique pathway, McMonagle Stone can offer Stepping Stones in a broad range of sizes and shapes in our Donegal Quartzite or Mountcharles Sandstone material.

    Installation:
    Step 1 - Layout the Stepping Stones
    Place the stepping-stones along the lawn, not spacing them too far from one another.

    Step 2 - Cut away turf
    Using the stepping-stone as a template, cut away the surrounding turf to a depth of approximately 75mm.

    Step 3 - Fill the area
    Fill the area with sharp sand to the depth of 30 - 35mm or use a weak semi dry mix of 5 parts sand and 1-part cement.

    Step 4 - Place Stepping Stones
    Place the stepping-stone where the turf has been removed and tap down gently with a rubber mallet so that it sits just below the level of the lawn.

    Step 5 - Enjoy
    Enjoy your new freshly laid pathway.
