When laying flagstone into grass, is it better to cut out the area to be layed…?

...or can I just place the flagstone right on top of the grass?

you can place on top of grass, but probably wouldn’t be level.

You can do it either way, but it’s much easier to mow around if you cut out the grass and set it in flush with the ground around it.

if its just a path place on top of grass cut around remove flagstone and remove grass the depth of the stone, this will make it easier to cut the lawn.

if its a patio look here

Hi Melandi cut the places you are going to place your flagstone that way you can use the cut grass and place it some where else if you have any hole or places that need grass you can tranplant the grass around your yard is your yard big. e-mail me back http://www.jpenton17@yahoo.com My name is James

Best bet is to remove the grass from the entire region where the flagstone is to go, lay the stone, fill the gaps with soil, and plant new grass. It is much easier than trying to dig holes of appropriate size for individual stones, and you’ll get a level surface.
