of concrete that is poured into molds. You can find molds at most craft
stores. Garden stepping stones are easy to make and are just as pleasing
to the eye as natural rock.
There are many practical uses for garden stepping stones. For your garden
stepping stones will reduce the amount of dirt or mulch that is tracked
into your house, and by creating a path they will save your grass from compaction
due to continuous foot traffic. Depending on the layout of your land
you may want to create a walkway from you front door entrance to your driveway
or street. Then the only decisions you will have to make is whether you want
to create a straight or winding path and whether you would like grass
to grow around the stones or have dirt or mulch surrounding them. This low
maintenance landscaping will not become obstacles when mowing your lawn but
may need simple adjustments after time as garden stepping stones commonly
shift in the soil. Garden stepping stones are definitely a project you can
do it yourself which makes them so practical.

who like to warm themselves on the stones which absorb heat from the sun. What
could be better than relaxing on your porch or in your yard looking at either
your beautiful garden with accent stones or your charming stone walkway.
