Big Rock Stepping Stones

Garden Stepping Stones in Hawaii

Big Rock Fabricators initially started out in 1984 manufacturing only stone veneer. We made a name for ourselves with the creation of our unique “Moss Rock Stepping Stones,” the first natural-looking garden pavers to appear on the market. However, consumer demand required expansion and growth into other stone mediums, and called for the incorporation of traditional Hawaiian and Asian design elements into our products. Today, our garden stepping stones are available in moss rock, lava, and ocean reef coral. They are made of fiber reinforced concrete for strength and durability.

Why our products rock

At Big Rock Fabricators, we're all about making it easy for everyone to make their grounds a showplace with natural-looking garden stepping stones, boulder stone accents, water features and statues.

For nearly 40 years, customers ranging from do-it-yourself homeowners to commercial contractors have praised our product lines for countless qualities, such as:

Our landscaping products weigh less than natural stone; they're easy to use, less costly than real rock and certainly less labor intensive.
Our cast stone pavers have the color and appearance of natural Hawaiian stone, but are made of fiber reinforced concrete for strength and durability.
The color pigments become an integral part of the stone during the casting process, and existing applications show no undesirable change in color after years of weathering.

Average stepping stone thickness is 3". Stones are random, natural shapes, and the sizes vary in coverage from of 1-square foot up to 4-square feet each.
We have a wide variety of stones in each size category, making obvious repetition unlikely.
Stones are easy to place: simply set in a level bed of sand or soft earth. Use grass, gravel, or river rock between the stones to create a naturally inviting pathway or outdoor area.

From ancient times to modern homes

Ancient Hawaiians called their stone art k'i’i pohaku, or images in stone. The k'i’i pohaku are petroglyphs, which comes from the Greek words, "petros" for rock, and "glyphein" to carve. This rock art provides a unique look into the past, but speculation is the only way to find some answers to the many questions. There is almost no historic evidence of the petroglyphs' origin in Hawaii. Although the age of Hawaii’s images is not known, a chronology of style can be discerned. The earliest were simple stick figures, while the figures with triangular torsos, which are only found in Hawaii, came later. After Westerners appeared in Hawaii, carvings of horses and cattle appeared and became more common. Areas of petroglyph concentration are normally found on the smooth pãhoehoe lava, cliff faces or smooth interior cliff walls, on the lava inundated areas of the island, and along trails the ancient Hawaiians commonly traveled. Big Rock Fabricators considers it an honor to incorporate these design elements into our garden stepping stones.
