Customer Reviews for Mutual Materials 16 in. x 16 in. Square Exposed Aggregate Concrete Step Stone

I bought that stones 09.08.2021 and regret. Shape is terrible. Not equal, not square, not even. I use that type stones 2 years ago and huge difference. Patio with old one looking great. New patio looking ugly. Sides are not straight.

I have used these in the past and the quality was good. Not this time. They are 2” thick on one end and 2-5/8 to 2-3/4 on the other end, How in the heck are you supposed to set this garbage flat, I installed 4” of 5/8 minus. Compacting in 2” lifts. 1” of Sanford screening and compacting 3 times for the perfect base. Set the first 2 pavers to find out they are 1/4” different in height, I had to set each paver at least 4 to 5 times to get them to lay flat. Finished product is not acceptable to me but I am done setting here. There is no quality control at Mutual materials . This is totally unacceptable. Make sure and bring a tape measure with you if you plan on purchasing these.

Good mix of earth tone colors, evenly cut with no edge chips, lays flat where needed, and reasonably priced for the size.

Very useful in my garden, I placed them all around my raised garden bed. It makes it easier to walk the perimeter of the beds and very attractive at the same time.

The square and the round aggregate concrete step stones purchased at Home Depot "rocked" the area in front of my living room window. This area had years of old lava rock and it had started to look bad. I decided it was time for an update and make a nice place for the chainsaw carvings I had purchased along with other flowers etc. These work perfect for sitting the chainsaw carving on and my flowers.

heavy duty stepping blocks used for some muddy spots

The aggregate stepping stones were of good quality, the aggregate was spread over the surface very well. They were used to make a long winding path and look very nice in my garden.

One was broken before I got home. Way over priced!

I had a pallet of these tiles delivered. I moved them all to the other side of the house where I the patio project is and, after preparing the ground installing paver sand and paver base, began to place the tiles. Only then did I realize that there is considerable variation in the dimensions of the tiles. It's really quite astounding how bad these are. I didn't think I had to specify that they need to the same size. My error. Too late now. These are not suitable for use on a patio.

As advertised. You need to watch for those with broken corners when buying them.

Bought the 16” aggregate pavers which unfortunately were not a uniform size making a small 4’ by 7’ patio. Overall worked out good, just not great.

Perfect size for setting pots on in my garden.

I used the cement squares for steps to my front door. I placed then in 3/4 minus gravel. Looks nice.

Rating provided by a verified purchaser

The quality of this recent batch of Mutual Materials 16"x16" paving slabs was poor. A large number of them (80%) had a side that was not perpendicular to the face resulting in a large gap between slabs. Also, a number of these also had another side that was not straight, again resulting in gaps between adjacent slabs. Prior batches have been satisfactory.

Thickness of step vary so sand for leveling is a must.

It’s very disappointing as a crack

Overall a good product.some sizing issues tile to tile so not tight joints possible. Recommend 3/16” or larger.

We use the stepping stones in a garden as a path between plants and it looks lovely

Quality product at a fair price
