Natural stone paths and pebble ground cover in a tropical garden
Application

Garden

Stepping stones, garden paths, loose pebble ground cover, water features and low garden walls.

Paths, beds, water and walls in the domestic landscape.

Garden work uses stone in smaller quantities but wider variety: a path, a stepping run across a lawn, pebble in the beds, a low retaining wall, a water bowl.

It is also the most forgiving application for natural variation — the irregularity that would be a defect on a facade is exactly what a garden wants.

Specification notes

Crazy paving for informal paths

Irregular flagstone reads naturally in a planted setting where a rigid grid would not.

Pebble grade by function

10–20 mm for path and bed cover, 20–40 mm for drainage, 40–100 mm for dry riverbeds and feature areas.

Bed properly

Stepping stones and paths need a compacted bedded base. Laid directly on soil they move within one wet season.
