Editorial Policy

Stone & Setting is an independent editorial publication. Every article is written to answer a reader question about garden stone, cast stone or landscape details. Topic selection is based on recurring practical questions and on gaps in clear, non-promotional information. Sources are named or linked when an article relies on published guidance, technical documents or established horticultural advice. Where an article compares materials, it describes trade offs rather than declaring a single best choice. The publication avoids medical advice, prescriptive gas, electrical or structural installation procedures, and any instruction that requires a qualified professional on site. Planning, materials, comparison and visual literacy are within scope. The editorial voice is precise, approachable and concrete. It avoids dashes, fake first hand experience and superlatives. Stone & Setting uses synthetic or generated images. These illustrations are designed to show a material idea, proportion or detail. They are not photographs of real installations and must not be read as evidence of a supplier, project or site. Readers should use them as prompts for discussion with a qualified designer, builder or supplier. Corrections are handled according to the process described on the contact page. No offsite campaign, newsletter or social account is operated by this publication.
