Garden & Stepping Stones
How to choose garden & stepping stones
Subtype use
Decide between the Home & Garden subtype for paths, or the Decor subtype for ornaments.
Weight and fixity
Pick rubber or plastic for light weight, or stone and rock for a fixed, solid feel.
Colour choice
Grey, white, and brown tones melt into lawns, while red, purple, and blue create a focal point.
Material style
Metal and silver suit clean, modern spaces, but resin and pebble fit a rustic border.
Weather limits
Velvet pieces need a covered spot, so they are wrong for open, exposed beds.
What's good
- Decor items in resin, pebble, or rock need no digging or tools.
- They sit on a shelf or in a plant pot straight from the box.
- Rubber and plastic stepping stones resist frost better than stone paths.
- Metal and silver finishes cope with wet weather better than velvet pieces.
- The Decor subtype gives you lightweight pieces, so moving them around the garden is easy.
Things to watch
- Stone and rock ground cover is heavy, so repositioning it later needs two people.
- Pebble and rock decor can fade if left in constant rain without a sealant.
- Plastic or rubber tiles may look less natural than stone in a cottage garden.
- Velvet decor must come indoors before the first frost, or it will spoil.
Care & maintenance
Seasonal brush
Brush soil off stone and rock pieces with a stiff broom each spring.
Wipe down
Wipe resin or plastic decor with a damp cloth to keep the colours clear.
Weed check
Lift rubber stepping stones now and then to pull weeds from underneath.
Winter storage
Store velvet items in a dry box during the cold months.
