Concrete Pavers Guide

Garden pavers and other hardscape options are excellent for gardens and other landscapes, but perhaps nothing compares to the simplicity and the value in slate stepping stones. Slate stepping stones come in a variety of textures and smoothness, but most come in the grey color so typical of these stones, though blue and brown are also possible.

Slate stepping stones are usually 1 to 2 inches thick and are fashioned into a number of irregular shapes. More regular shapes are also possible, such as in ovals, circles, rectangles, or squares.

Slate stepping stones are a nice addition in many ways in your yard. You can use them as a walkway through a garden, or as a way to connect different patios and walkways in your yard. You can also use them in many ways to accent and otherwise decorate your landscape. In the end you are only limited by your imagination and budget. When installed, these stones impart a rustic, natural, and pleasing aesthetic to your space, aside from the obvious functional uses of the slate stepping stone.

Slate stepping stones costs depend on a number of factors, but generally they are sold in pallets of one ton or more. These one ton increments cost around $200 and up. The total amount of material in these pallets can cover 100 to 130 square feet.

In addition, some slate stepping stones are imprinted with fancy designs or images. Some even come with LED or light implanted sections to help brighten up your garden or walking area. These must be bought individually, and usually run for $15 to $30 per stone or more. They can be bought at hardware and home supply stores, mason yards, and even online. Some websites sell the stone, albeit in smaller quantities. You may also be able to get used stepping stones from other homeowners. Check sites like craigslist and other classified ads for some leads. In some cases, if you come to their home and remove the stepping stones yourself, you could get them for free. This is a great way to add a new piece to your yard without breaking the bank.
