What started out as demonstration gardens with rambling paths and open gathering spaces and transformed into a magical outdoor venue. We have had the please of designing and installing the initial concept, along with the modifications throughout the years to meet the ever changing needs of this space.

Stepping stone placement and spacing is important within a contemporary backyard design plan. Spacing depends on the size of your stones and the desired aesthetic. For a contemporary look, we chose wider gaps between stones, creating a deliberate and eye-catching pattern. As for layout, we created a clear and intentional path with the stepping stones. You can opt for a straight path, a gently curving one, or even a geometric design, such as a grid or zigzag pattern, to achieve a contemporary feel. Placing the stepping stones and gravel strategically provides easy access to your garden beds and other areas of interest in your backyard. This path is both functional and visually appealing.
