Circular Stepping Stones Usage Ideas

• Garden pathways: In areas where you don’t have a formal patio, circular stepping stones can provide a safe and practical walking surface. These stones can be embedded in lawns, gravel or soil to create a logical place to step as you make your way across the garden.
• Wayfinding: Circular stepping stones can be used to strategically lead the way to other garden features you may have such as a shed, patio, pond or seating area.
• Lawn protection: In high traffic areas, circular stepping stones can be used to distribute footfall onto a solid surface. This can help prevent the grass from wearing down and forming into muddy patches. 
• Ornamental feature: Have a plant you’re particularly proud of this year? Place a stepping stone underneath it to highlight it and provide a solid base for the pot. Many of our circular stepping stones are also suitable to use around water features including fishponds. 

 

Round Stepping Stones FAQs

Do you have questions about using circular stepping stones in your next garden project?

Let’s get those top queries answered. But for anything else, please reach out to the Stone Warehouse team. 

What Are Circular Stepping Stones Used For In A Garden?

Circular stepping stone paving slabs offer endless versatility for garden projects.

Primarily, circular stepping stones are used to create garden pathways, including transitions between grass or gravelled areas. The path can be carefully planned out so that it leads the way to sheds, patios, pergolas, ponds or seating areas.

Overall, you would use a circular stepping stone in areas where you want to create a bit of a transition, but not to the point of installing a full patio. This could be to improve accessibility, especially if the area where you need to walk is muddy or unstable underfoot. 

In any case, a circular stepping stone can create the stability you need, especially when installed correctly so that it remains firmly fixed in position. 

Are Circular Stepping Stones Better Than Square Ones?

You may have noticed that at Stone Warehouse, our stepping stones can also have random shapes or rectangular shapes. 

It’s not the case that one shape is better than another, but the best shape for your garden will very much depend on the specifics of your project. This includes the style of your garden design, plus the material which will surround your stepping stones.

Where circular stepping stones shine is when there is a need to provide a soft organic look which works with flexible layouts. 

Round shapes are eye-catching, making each stone feel like a statement feature rather than part of a more rigid design. The lack of corners also makes circular stepping stones safer when wanting to avoid sharp corners sticking out of the ground. 

If you like the look of circular stepping stones, then a top tip is to create other circular, round or curved features elsewhere in your garden. For instance, our Core Edging products are highly flexible, allowing you to create a curved lawn or curved border around your circular stepping stones. 

How Do Circular Stepping Stones Improve A Garden Path?

Circular stepping stones can be used to create a natural flow as you move through your garden. Stepping stones also work to improve safety by enabling firm and flat footing across grass, gravel or soil. In turn, this can help avoid debris from getting on your shoes, while also preventing slips and trips. 

Stepping stones come in many different shapes and sizes. However, circular stepping stones offer a softer look compared with more rigid straight edged paving. Circular stones can work equally well for winding or irregular paths, or simply to highlight individual stones as decorative features.

What Are The Benefits Of Concrete Circular Stepping Stones Compared With Other Materials? 

Circular stepping stones can be made from many different materials besides concrete including granite, slate, limestone and sandstone. 

Every material has its pros and cons, making it important to decide what matters most to your specific project. 

In the case of concrete circular stepping stones, they offer a cost-effective option compared with using natural stone. 

As you’ll notice with our various product ranges, concrete is incredibly versatile as it can be moulded into circles or decorative patterns, including to mimic the look of natural stone. 

Another huge advantage of concrete pavers is that concrete offers better slip resistance compared with many natural stones, especially polished materials. Therefore, concrete offers both cost-effectiveness and practicality for your landscaping project. 

 

How Do You Lay Circular Stepping Stones In Grass?

Thankfully, while laying a patio can be quite labour intensive, laying individual stepping stones can be done without too much elbow grease! 

1. First, map out your design so that each stepping stone offers a comfortable stride between each step. 
2. Next, you’ll need to dig out the ground under the stone. For circular stepping stones, it can help to place the stone on top of the ground and mark or score around the edge to be able to dig out a perfect circle. 
3. As for how deep to dig, you’ll need to leave enough room for the wet mortar mix, which is normally around 2cm-3cm. Be mindful that the stone should be level or slightly below ground level so that it doesn’t become a tripping hazard. Check your levels and secure the stone in place with mortar.
