How Do You Install A Flagstone Patio?
Flagstone is an ideal material for your new patio. It’s durable, has a naturally non-slip surface and comes in a wide range of colors, from red and brown to pink, green, gold and beige, so you can coordinate it with virtually any home color. Plus flagstone is readily available (just go to your home store) and easy to work with. Using common household tools (plus a couple of inexpensive rental tools), and some creativity, you can install your own flagstone patio over a weekend Determine the size and shape of your new flagstone patio, then use spray paint (or flour) to mark the outline. Remove the existing lawn and dig to a depth of about 5 inches and smooth out the bottom. You want a hole deep enough to accommodate the sand base you are going to build plus the height of the flagstones. The finished height of the patio should stand about 1/4″ above the surrounding ground. Install edging around the edge of your hole, following your outline. Set the top of the edging slightly below ground
