Gray Granite Stepping Stone

Strong, timeless and extremely durable.

Gray granite stepping stones are one of the most robust options available. Granite is ideal for high-traffic areas and long-term installations.

Best suited for:

• High-use pathways
• Driveway stepping access
• Commercial landscaping
• Formal garden designs

Granite resists wear, fading and cracking in Brisbane’s climate.

Its consistent colour and texture make it a safe, long-lasting choice for both residential and commercial projects.

How to Install Stepping Stones Properly

For long-term stability in Brisbane:

  1. Prepare a compacted base.

  2. Use road base or crusher dust underneath.

  3. Ensure each stone sits level.

  4. Allow proper spacing for comfort and flow.

  5. Consider drainage around each stone.

Spacing typically ranges between 450 mm to 600 mm depending on stride length.

Stepping Stones vs Full Paving

Stepping stones are ideal if you want:

• A softer garden look
• Reduced cost compared to full paving
• Drainage-friendly pathways
• Minimal ground disturbance

They also allow lawn or gravel between stones for a more natural finish.
