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, Slate Grey)

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.

Here is what I learned. The ground must not only be 100% level but also soft. If the ground is not soft and there are any rocks. The spikes will shift, crack or dislodge from the pad. I had to predrill the holes. If your ground is hard and you use a leveling tool for pavers then it will crack or the spikes will come off. The ideal place is flat and soft with no rocks.

I was suppose to get 2 boxes only received 1

This product is exactly as described. They are the right size, color, thickness I needed. They were easy to install and the spikes hold them in place. The path I made from my porch to my car on our lawn works great.

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.
