Would this work on a textured stone surface that will be in the ground (the top of the stone will be flush with the ground) and survive outside?

Epoxy, any epoxy is not UV resistant,meaning it will break down in sunlight. It would have to be protected with some kind of top coat. Adhesion is another issue to consider. How do you bind it to the stone? Do you etch the stone with mild acid first, then rinse and dry?

My guess is yes but it may serve you best to call West System directly. Their tech desk is first class! The tech number is 866-937-8797 Good Luck! Baber is correct that a UV stable topcoat is needed. West can guide you there too.

I am not sure how it would work- my soil is sandy clay. However, I think if you didn't press down too hard, it would work the smaller rocks to the surface. It's not intended to work like a "big" tiller, if my ground is totally hard it just skitters around on top of it.

I have used it on flagstone quite successfully. I used a stiff brush to get to the high/low uneven texture of the stone, wearing gloves of course. The walkway mold/mildew buildup along the stone/ground meeting edges cleaned right up without any fussing with it. I can't vouch for any other stone but it worked for my flagstone stains.

Basically the water creates suction with the water in the base and holds the stone. Along with the ridge on the base you wont be losing the stone any time soon. Even if you didn't have the base the friction from the stone on most surfaces will keep it stationary.

I am guessing. If the rocks are flat--probably not. If the rocks are not flat it would probably work.

I think it probably would, easy to keep clean, strong and solid....I would put a rock in middle, and not fill it too high.

It may...but you will have to have a flat surface and something to back it. It won't work over a hole.

I have mine sitting on unleveled rocks and it still functions. It is not as smooth as if it were on level ground but it works

In my opinion, that would be best. However, as long as the ground is level and compacted it will be fine. I didn't use gravel because that would have required more digging.

I haven't tried it in such soils. The outboard end is sharpened, corrugated steel about 2" wide. It will work, but how well is a function of energy applied and how heavy the clay is.

It works great on granite and I don't see why it wouldn't work on any surface.

If the yard is a generally flat surfaced then it will do a fine job but if the yard is problemed with heaving ground then it will pretty much stay bumpy and will be needing a grading leveling approach. Hope this is of some help.

It will barely work on rough surface. It is not really meant for that challenge.

It will stand up in the "landscape" view. It's not super stable, but it works as long as its a flat, smooth surface.

I think it will depend on if there is a finish on the marble. Can you try a small corner that's not very visible? This product is amazing on granite.

As long as it is upright it can be set on a patio stone without any problems. Obviously you don't want to place it directly on the soil to avoid rust on the case. I have several of them and some are free standing while others are attached to walls. The drip proof construction prevents sprinkler and/or rain water from entering the enclosure.

It may but it would be a heck of a lot of work. I did a 3x10 concrete countertop and it took me around 10 hours. Working on the ground would be much worse.
