Stepping Stone Calculator
Work out stepping stone quantities and spacing for garden paths.
How We Calculate This
This calculator determines the number of stepping stones, sharp sand, and approximate cost for a garden path.
Stone count
Stones = ceil(Path length / Spacing) + 1. The +1 accounts for the final stone at the end of the path.
Sand bed
Each stone needs a sharp sand bed underneath (typically 20-30mm deep) to allow levelling and drainage. The calculator totals this based on stone area and depth.
