Stone paths, laid like they grew there.
Natural flagstone and stepping stone paths through lawns, gardens and woods, set at comfortable strides on a stable base.
- Stone size: Typically 18 to 30 in. wide
- Stride spacing: About 24 in. center to center
- Base: Compacted stone or sand
What it is, and why it matters.
Stepping stone paths look simple and are surprisingly easy to get wrong. Stones that rock, spaced at the wrong stride or set above the grass turn a charming path into a trip hazard. We choose stones large enough to feel steady, set them on a compacted base flush with the surrounding grade and space them for a natural walking stride.
Whether you want a formal flagstone walk with tight joints, a loose path through garden beds or large stepping stones across a lawn, we match the stone to the setting. In shaded Nashville yards, we also choose textures that dry quickly and stay safe in damp weather.

Flagstone & Stepping Stone Paths: common questions
How far apart should stepping stones be?
About 24 inches center to center suits most adults. We test the stride on site and adjust for slope, stone size and who will use the path.
Can stepping stones be used on a slope?
Yes, with careful setting and sometimes small steps. Steeper sections often work better as proper stone steps with landings.
