When installing stepping stones, careful planning is essential for safety and stability. Begin by digging areas for each stone about 15cm deeper and wider than necessary. Fill these spots with a sand or gravel and cement mixture, allowing it to cure for 24 hours. Then, place a pond liner over the cured base to enhance stability. Build supports just below water level for each stone, ensuring they are secure and slightly above the water to minimise slipping.

For a modern touch, consider floating stones supported by hidden beams, creating the illusion of them hovering above the water which makes them perfect for contemporary or Japanese-style gardens. Regular maintenance is key, check each stone's stability and watch for algae that might make them slippery. Keeping everything clean not only ensures safety but also maintains your garden's appearance.
