Both options feature a 30mm thickness and suit designs where clean lines and a consistent rectangular profile are desired.

Installation & Care

For a stable, neat and long-lasting pathway, consider the following installation guidelines:

1. Prepare the base: Create a compacted base approximately 50–75mm deep using suitable road base or crusher dust.
2. Add bedding sand: Allow approximately 20–30mm of bedding sand to help level and support each stepper.
3. Plan the layout: Position the rectangular stones carefully to achieve consistent spacing and alignment.
4. Allow for drainage: Maintain a slight fall where appropriate to help prevent water from pooling on or around the pathway.
5. Finish the joints: Use approximately 10–20mm joints and backfill with fine gravel or decorative pebbles to complement the design.
6. Prepare surrounding gravel areas: Weed mat beneath adjacent gravel or pebble areas can help minimise weed growth and movement.
7. Clean periodically: Rinse as required to remove dirt and surface debris.
8. Consider sealing: A suitable penetrating sealer may provide additional stain resistance in high-use or outdoor entertaining areas. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and test a small area first.

Ensure the stones are properly supported and installed on a suitable base for the site conditions and intended use.
