Can I see your stones?

19 years ago

I am wanting to make stepping stones in a broad area in front of the front garden of my house and I am hoping that some of you creative people will share your photos with me?? I was thinking about just pouring them in place and perhaps using lava sand (think crushed lava rock) in the mix to add color. Would that be okay, you think?? Thank you very, very much!!!

better to use concrete dye as is will be cheaper.
Go to your concrete supply-er and they have it is a small bag for 2.50.
They also have the fibers to put in them.

Do you really think so? I mean if I am going to use sand anyway to make the mix stronger for the stepping stones then how much more do you think lava sand would cost than the stuff I would buy for tufa mix? That sounds real tacky when I reread that but truly I am just asking in a query voice. LOL!!
