How Do You Build A Flagstone Path?
Use a flagstone path for a simple, beautiful walkway in your garden. A flagstone path uses just sand and water. It’s more durable than concrete or paved paths, and resists weeds. A sand-set path resists cracking and shifting, and allows you to easily replace any damaged stones. Use the following instructions to install a flagstone path. Rake out the entire length of your path location. Aim to get the ground as flat and level as possible. Mark the outline of your path with rubber tubing, twine or a garden hose. For paths with a permanent border (available at hardware stores), install the border first. Dig approximately 2 to 3 inches deep in your path location and discard the soil, depending on the thickness of your flagstone pavers. Use a level and a 2-by-4 piece of wood to even out the surface. Pour sand into the path, approximately 1 inch from the top edge, and rake again until smooth. Check the level of the path with the level and 2-by-4 again. Hose down the sand until moistened. Pac
