About the Service
What Are Stepping Stone Paths?
Stepping stone paths are a series of individual concrete stones placed at walking-stride intervals to create a defined walkway through your landscape. Unlike a solid concrete sidewalk, stepping stones allow grass, ground cover, or gravel to fill the gaps — creating a natural, organic look that blends with your yard.
At Jones Curb Appeal, our stepping stones are made from the same high-strength concrete we use for our decorative curbing. Each stone can be colored, stamped, or textured to match your existing landscape borders and hardscape features.
Stepping stone paths are ideal for connecting patios to garden beds, creating a walkway through a side yard, guiding visitors to a backyard seating area, or adding a decorative element to flower gardens and landscape beds.

Our Process
How We Build Your Stepping Stone Path
From consultation to final walkthrough, every step is handled with precision and care.
On-Site Consultation
Ryan visits your property to walk the desired path route, discuss stone styles, colors, and layout options, and take measurements for an accurate quote.
Path Design & Layout
We plan the path route, stone sizes, spacing, and pattern to create a natural walking flow that complements your landscape and connects key areas of your yard.
Ground Preparation
The path bed is excavated and leveled. A compacted base layer is installed to ensure each stepping stone sits level and remains stable long-term.
Stone Installation
Each concrete stepping stone is placed, leveled, and secured. Joints are filled with your choice of material — gravel, ground cover, or left for grass to grow between.
Final Walkthrough
Ryan walks the completed path with you to confirm every stone is level, the spacing feels natural, and the finished path meets your expectations.

Stepping Stone Paths FAQ
How long do concrete stepping stone paths last?
Properly installed concrete stepping stones can last 20 years or more. Our stones are made from high-strength concrete and set on a compacted base to prevent shifting, settling, or cracking over time.
What styles and colors are available?
We offer a variety of stamped patterns including flagstone, slate, cobblestone, and natural stone textures. Integral color options range from earth tones to custom shades that complement your home exterior and landscape.
Can stepping stones be installed in an existing landscape?
Yes. Stepping stone paths are designed to work with established landscapes. We carefully install around existing plants, trees, and beds with minimal disruption to your yard.
What goes between the stepping stones?
The gaps between stones can be filled with decorative gravel, ground cover plants like creeping thyme, mulch, or left as turf grass. We help you choose the option that best suits your landscape style and maintenance preferences.
How wide should a stepping stone path be?
A standard garden path is typically 2 to 3 feet wide, with stones spaced at a natural walking stride — roughly 6 to 8 inches apart. Ryan designs each path based on the specific use and traffic level of the area.
