Stone work and walk path

There are numerous types of stone that are used. The cost and availability of particular types of stone will depend on what is naturally available in your area. The stones most commonly used are limestone, granite and sandstone. These three types of stone are usually available and less expensive than most others. Stones naturally come in different shapes and sizes. Although it is more expensive, you can also purchase cut stone in order to get the shape and size you need. Flat stone is generally used for paving, for building patios or driveways, or for stepping stones. It is a good idea to use a rough textured stone for any walking areas they will provide a better gripping surface than smooth stones.
