How to make a pebble mosaic path

Watch our video guide to making a brick garden path.

Rounded tactile pebbles and slate in earthy shades produce natural-looking effects and appealing textures that will add interest to any stretch of lawn.

You Will Need

• Pebbles (2-3cm diameter)
• Slate chippings
• Ready-mixed cement (bag)
• Tub trug (26 litre)
• Steel mesh, pieces large enough to fit base of trug

Step 1

Mix the cement according to the instructions. Put a smooth layer of the mix over the bottom of the trug.

Step 2

Place a piece of mesh on top of the cement then add another layer of the mixture.

Step 3

Press the pebbles into the cement to form a pattern.

Step 4

Leave the cement to set overnight before removing the stepping stone.

Step 5

Put the stepping stone into position, and cut into the lawn around it with an old kitchen knife.

Step 6

Remove the circle of lawn and press the stepping stone into place.

Use stepping stones in well-trodden areas of grass to keep the lawn looking at its best.
