Gardien 15.5” Decorative Stepping Stones That Stake Into The Ground - Decorative Walkway for Outdoor Pathway, Lawn, Yard, Home, or Garden Pathway Pavers - Resin Material (16, Beige Limestone)

LOVE these….really easy to use no digging necessary…I’ve ordered 3 sets…and I’m planning to order another

Love it

As expected, does the job, (as temp walkway to an apartment, then will be retired to the backyard). But I originally saw these much cheaper, like $89, and in 32 quantity less than this, somewhere but then could not find them again. Not Amazon. But I needed them. For the original cost I saw I would rate them 5-Star all day long. But at this much higher price, I'll say they could be thicker more heavy-duty, and the stakes seem not so sturdy and I see some people wrote that they break. At least if they just offered 32 quantity for $250 I would be happy enough to give 5-star. It's like that. $340 for 32 is just too much. It's a simple mold and not an expensive resin.

Crack very easily.

I was suppose to get 2 boxes only received 1

I have about 50 of these garden steps. I got them so I don't have to walk in the water/mud when I go outside to the garbage container or to turn on the exterior faucet. They are fairly expensive, but look good. They are sturdy if installed correctly and put on a flat surface. They come with a very thorough and easy to read instruction booklet. When installing, install on a level surface and if it isn't level buy dirt or sand or get out your shovel and level the area. Don't put them over a hole or dip as your weight may crack them even though they are reinforced on the bottom side. I bought paver sand to level the ground but found I should have bought dirt because the sand compacts so much.They come with 4 spikes each to attach to each of the 4 sides on the bottom and push into the ground. The spikes go into the ground 4". The first batch I bought had larger spikes than the last 2 orders. And the spikes look cheesy now. However, when the spikes are attached, they still hold very well into the ground. Do not put patio furniture or chairs or objects that may punch through on the garden steps. The bottom is reinforced with cross members of plastic in a grid pattern - but the steps are basically hollow. They are made ONLY to be walked on as in a pathway. For me they do what I wanted them to do. They are so much nicer to walk on than the wet dirt and mud I used to have to deal with. Also, I think they look nice. They can be pulled up with a pry bar, hammer, etc. (without damage) and moved if you need to do that.

These look like plastic. They will not go into the ground. The legs have no points to pierce the ground. I have a layer of new soil and they would not go into free soil. I used a light rubber mallet with a piece of towel to gently pound the “tiles” into place and one tile broke. The two tiles I did get in, with rock around packed them, wiggled and tipped when walked on. The legs are very difficult to get into place on the tile. Unfortunately, I can not return, given the broken tile. Do not buy these!

Make sure you have them exactly where you want them the first time. Anytime I pulled one back out of the ground, the stakes would come apart from the paver. I would definitely suggest using a rubber mallet to get them in the ground. If you try to step on them, the stakes can move back and forth and end up dislodging from the paver. I wouldn’t buy them again.
