Real professional. 'Looks pretty level'. 'I feel it with my hand or maybe my feet'. I'm an Architect and I'm putting down stones that I collected on my land and I'm doing it the same way. MORE POWER TO YOU! You did a great job.
Looks great! Thanks for sharing. It doesn't look like you used edging between the pathway and the mulch that surrounds your plants. Do you find that that mulch stays in place enough? I'm a hopeful DIY'r and can use all the info I can get.
i started something like this last summer, only on a much smaller scale. i wanted to grow grass between the joints. But, i found that it was hard to pack the soil in the joints, which exposed the sharp edges of the flagstone if you didn't step directly in the center of each stone. the soft soil would get kicked up, or pushed down. Wondering the best way to counteract this? or is that just something i have to put up with until the vegetation really takes hold? (even after grass grew it was very soft). Thanks!
Thanks for sharing. I would agree, no matter if you build a walkway with flagstones using paver base or just sand, the best results will come from attention to the levelness and compactness of the underlying soil. I do like your method and it surely makes the task easier just laying the stone in random order with attention to keeping the seams no greater width than 1 or 2 inches. I have not had much luck with polymeric sand, and after a few months of use, the seams are opening up and the flagstones are coming loose. Do you have any suggestions on another product or in the method you use in filling the seams with polymeric sand? Thanks so much for your help.
Great video, thanks for sharing, this is exactly what I am planning to do in my back yard. I do have a gopher issue though, would you recommend gopher wire underneath?
Great question. You will need to immediately plant desirable plants, or seed with Clover, sedum, etc or grass and weeds will begin to grow where there is dirt. Some people want grass between but we don’t.
No, you have a good point there and my terminology was probably off. But, the less you disturb the soil the more compacted it is and the longer it will take to erode. Also, this video is for folks that don’t want to put in a solid base like road base or gravel before the sand and flagstone.

Can you please post an update photo after the little plants grew in between the flagstone? Thanks!
That path is beautiful!❤
That looks so pretty! 😍
Thanks! Just what I was looking for. What did it look like after you let the plants grow!!!!???

It is beautiful,
Thank you! Wondering if you could use the sand that hardens to a grout like material to keep weeds from coming through...
I’ve heard it works for a time and then May start to crack and crumble.
Good great grand wonderful

Not necessarily but wiring can help stabilize your flagstones and create a stronger foundation.
@@JedsGarage thanks so much!
How many days did this project take you? Looks great!
Well, thank you good sir. I’d say a week or two.
Wow- this is beautiful. Can you share what the pavers for this project cost you? Thanks!
Thank you. 4 pallets at about $400 each, includes taxes.
Hello!! How long did that take for the grass to die under the plastic? Great video! Thank you! 🙏 😊
4-6 weeks. Needs to be done when days are warmer. the more the sun and heat the faster it dies.
Will grass grow between the pavers ?
Great question. You will need to immediately plant desirable plants, or seed with Clover, sedum, etc or grass and weeds will begin to grow where there is dirt. Some people want grass between but we don’t.
You did a beautiful job
Thank you.
After 6 months, anything you would have done different?
Plant something like creeping thyme or elfin thyme immediately all through the spaces with dirt and let it all fill in. Then plant some succulents.
In my area the weeds would take over between the pavers
Use the Herbicide IFA Weed and Feed Step 2
@@JedsGarage well the problem is I wont touch herbicides on this land so Ill just have to weed alot lol
What is the name of this type of flagstone?
Park City Gold 2 in. Flagstone 6-12 in. x 12-15 in. Stepping Stone Pallet of 2000 lbs.
“Original compactness” bro has never heard of erosion
