Living Stone "How To" guides are designed as a quick instruction on how to create a landscaped space in your garden. We have created our own garden area, working on a space not much bigger than 16m2. In this area we have created a rockery, a planted bed sectioned off with path edgings and laid a patio kit. |

In Living Stones guide to laying a patio, we have used a Sunstone Mini Circle Kit. This creates an area of hard standing, and also a feature for the garden area.
