I have to lay the sand about 6 inches deep. Lowes sells the sand by the 40lb bag. How much would I need to complete the job. I also have to scatter some between the stones.

I need input on installing Flagstone Pavers?

Filed under: Flagstone Question & Answers — Tags: Flagstone, input, Installing, Need, pavers — admin @ 9:49 pm

My wife and I just purchased about four hundred square feet of flagstone pavers. I am not the construction worker type but I am learning how to be a do it yourselfer. We live in very temperate San Diego so the cold weather is not an issue and in SD earthquakes are not a real concern for us either. At first we thought of just putting in gravel and sand and laying them on top but the more I have read it sounds like it really needs to be in at least a mortar/sand mixture and definetly grouted. What do you think? I will choose a best answer and will probably spend a lot of time taking your advice in my backyard!

Currently we have sand underneath and between flagstone but the sand is right outside our patio door and is a constant mess in the house. We'd like to plant a groundcover that will stop the sand problem to fill in between slabs. We're in the Sacramento area, full sun, very low plant meant to fill the gaps. Any suggestions?

I want to build a flagstone retaining wall in my yard – what kind of contractor do I need?

Should I look for a landscaper? Any idea what I should expect to pay? could I attempt to do this myself (never done anything like this before)?

I am building a flagstone patio & need some help finishing it out. I need some grout type of stuff to fill gap

I live down in TX (S.A. area) and need to know what I can use to fill in the gaps in between the stones. I have read a little about something called Polymer(ic) sand but I don't know where I can find it. If anyone knows where I can find this stuff or if you know of any thing else that would work really well, I would greatly appreciate the help.
