Garden Ideas: Decorative Stepping Stones Bring a Garden to Life

They are a quick, easy, and inexpensive way to accent your yard and have many uses.  Placed by a doorway or opening, they offer a message to those who enter.   Stepping stones can lead the way to a secret, tranquil spot; draw attention to a focal point or special element (like a bench, pond, waterfall, statue, etc.); or highlight the place of a memorial.  They are also an ideal way to contribute to an overall garden theme and can be placed prominently on the ground or on a garden easel for greater visual impact.

There are also very practical uses for stepping stones.  They help keep your feet clean and protect your shoes while walking through the garden, which in turn helps to keep your home and carpet cleaner as you bring in less dirt.  They are also ideal for high traffic yard areas because they are more visually appealing than a worn trail across the grass and can take bare or dirt areas from drab to fabulous.

Different designs add beauty, charm, and inspiration and give a bit of insight about the owner, offering a reflection of the owner’s style, values, interests, or hobbies.

A variety of stepping stone types are available, from natural materials to custom made motifs, to enhance the design, contribute to the natural beauty of, or express your personality in your garden or landscape.
