When you first start laying flagstone, you will learn that it is not as easy as it looks.
There are many factors that go into it and you need to learn them before you start digging at all.
Here are just a few things that you should consider before laying your flagstone.
#.
1 The Ground Before laying flagstone, you must be aware of what is in the ground.
Is there any cable wires or pipes that run along the path you are trying to install.
Are those wires or pipes going to hinder you from digging deep so that your flagstone is even with the ground? Also, what type of ground it is? If you are going to be digging up rocky ground, you may need to hire or rent out a Bobcat to get through the surface.
#2.
The Surrounding Area Very few people miss this step.
You must consider what the surround area is and how it will adapt to your new flagstone.
Things to consider are: how will the grass grow and will it grow any differently now with a flagstone patio installed.
If you are thinking about placing plants in your flagstone; are they going to receive enough sunlight? These are just a few thing that need to be considered.
Laying flagstone will be very easy once you have all of the basic fundamentals down before you start digging.
Once all of the disadvantages have been taken out of the picture, you will have successfully found a great spot to lay your flagstone.
