Maple Creek Flats are stepping stones made by water. Each piece is gray, waterwashed and flat, and the pieces run on the smaller side. That makes them easy to carry, easy to place and a natural fit for a casual path. Laid through lawn, gravel or ground cover, they look like stones gathered from a streambed and set down one stride apart. ## Gray, flat and waterwashed Water has worn these stones smooth, so the faces and edges are soft. The color is gray, and the flat shape gives a steady surface underfoot. ## Laying a stepping stone path Walk the route at your normal pace and mark where each foot lands. Set one stone at each mark, then adjust until the path feels natural. Bed each piece so it sits firm and level with the ground around it. More layout help is on our [flagstone walkway ideas](https://midvalleyrock.com/ideas/flagstone-walkway/) page. ## Choosing your pieces Because these are smaller pieces, you can hand pick each one at the yard. Count the steps along your path and bring that number. The stones are sold by weight. Roundtree Rock & Gardening shares the same yard, so you can pick up gravel or decomposed granite for the path on the same trip.
