A patio is a nice addition to the front or back of any house. While brick or wood is perfectly fine, arguably the most handsome material for a patio is flagstone. Building a basic patio of this kind is relatively straightforward. It requires a concrete foundation that is relatively easy to pour, and from there the skills involved are identical to laying a flagstone walkway. Fashion the mold for your concrete with a hammer and nails. You can do this by building a square or rectangle with 1-by-4 or 2-by-4 lumber. Then nail a diagonal plank from one corner to another to provide rigidity to the form. Mark out an area of ground the same size as the mold with stakes, and clear it of all vegetation. Check to see whether the ground is level by putting the mold in the work area and placing a level on it. If it is not level, the ground will need to be leveled by adding more dirt with a shovel and dirt tamper. Add dirt and keep checking for levelness until your mold is level on all four sides. Se
