In some Sydney suburbs, such as Mosman, homeowners have to deal with sloping blocks that bring many challenges, especially when it comes to an aging population who no longer wish to leave their homes.

To help improve usability for persons with limited mobility, swapping steps for a ramped pathway can be the ideal solution. However, with steep slopes and a loose gravel finish, the surface can quickly become washed away, unusable and unsafe.

StoneSet’s client wanted to “Match the decomposed granite that is currently down, but with maximum non-slip surface that is level and essentially bound/fixed, rather than the existing loose rough surface”.

The deco granite pathway provided the perfect base for the StoneSet material. A 6mm Yellow Sienna crushed rock was used to provide a beautiful natural looking pathway, similar in colour to the deco granite but with great slip resistance and no loose stone, no wash out in the rain, and a smooth and easy-to-traffic surface.
