[QUOTE="InDaShop, post: 300752, member: 1295"] Daniel, we call that flagstone. Any course of stone 2-3" thick works. Some will try using 1" shale, but they tend to crack alot more the thinner you go. I personally like any limestone so that warmer yellowed look. vs. the dark. real easy, de-sod the are you want done. tamp pack the hard pack dirt until you got it level. lay out your stone in a big jigsaw puzzle. rock hammer here and there to get pieces to fit better. Dump wheelbarrel of sand on top and sweep into the cracks. spray with water to pack, then dump more sand. (your could use pea gravel if you wanted) google "flagstone" images. Doing you own is really good practice for your real job, cause you end up spending so much time on your knees. :flipoff1: I'll see if I can get some hard pictures into digital format of some of the jobs I did before graduating college in the late '90s. Lots of rural ranch pools and patios here in Texas. [/QUOTE]
