Concrete for Stepping Stones

By Sherri Osborn, About.com

Of course, this is probably the most vital ingredient in your stepping stones. You do have a couple options when it comes to the cement.

  • Quick-Setting Concrete - This is available at hardware or home improvement stores. I used the cheapest Quikrete, under $2 for a 60-pound bag. While it worked just fine for us and the price was right, it was a little pebbly and next time I will spend a little more money to buy a slightly better grade. I made 5 stones and didn't even use half of the bag.

  • Stepping Stone Concrete - You can find this concrete mixture at crafts stores. It is made especially for use in stepping stones. This is bit spendy though; the average cost was about $5 to make 1 stone. This special concrete might be more worth your while if you are only planning on making 1 or 2 stones.

Make sure you check out the forum discussion to see all the great ideas shared by others.
