Stepping stone is a kind of stone which used at lawns, forests, banks or courtyards. It can be arranged by natural large and small stones. It has a relaxed, lively, natural style and strong rhythm, so it is easy to coordinate with the natural environment.
The material of stepping stone should be selected carefully when you use natural stone to make them. Sandstone and limestone are relatively loose. If they are placed in water and the weather is cold, they will peel off and disintegrate. The paving stone surface should be rough to prevent pedestrians from slipping and falling into the water. Granite and basalt are preferred choice.
