Installation & Care

For a stable and attractive result, consider the following installation recommendations:

1. Prepare the base: Create a compacted base approximately 50–75mm deep, suitable for the site conditions and intended use.
2. Add bedding sand: Use approximately 20–30mm of bedding sand to assist with levelling and support.
3. Plan the layout: Position the rectangular stones before installation to establish consistent alignment and comfortable walking distances.
4. Allow for joint spacing: A guide of approximately 10–20mm between pieces can help achieve a neat finish where suitable for the design.
5. Prepare surrounding aggregate areas: Weed mat beneath adjacent decorative gravel or pebbles can help reduce weed growth and maintenance.
6. Provide drainage: Maintain a slight fall where appropriate to direct water away from buildings and prevent pooling.
7. Clean periodically: Rinse the steppers as needed to remove dirt and surface debris.
8. Consider sealing: A suitable penetrating stone sealer may help improve stain resistance in high-use areas, including around outdoor cooking spaces. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and test a small area first.

Ensure each stepper is fully supported and installed using a method appropriate for the stone dimensions, site conditions and intended application.
