- Garden paths
- Lawn stepping
The default budget-and-durable garden paver: a heavy 12" cast concrete square that walks like a real path. Best for permanent lawn stepping paths where you'll set several and don't mind the weight.
Pros
- Solid cast concrete at ~18 lb bears full adult weight and stays put underfoot
- Sold per stone so you can buy the exact count your path needs across several colors
- Widely stocked at Home Depot/Walmart, so matching or replacing a stone later is easy
Cons
- 18 lb each makes hauling and setting a long run heavy work
- Sold individually, so a real path adds up in cost and trips
- Rigid concrete can chip on edges and can crack over years of freeze-thaw heaving
