5. Flagstone Walkway
To create a flagstone walkway, you’ll require certain tools such as a spade, shovel, hand tamp, small sledgehammer, and carpenter’s level, along with materials like edging, sand, flat stone, and gravel.
If you have a considerable area to cover, you may already anticipate that this is one of the more costly options among our garden path ideas.
Opting for this method entails hard work, but the result is a beautiful and durable pathway. Initially, you must select your stone, typically around 2-3″ thick. Flagstone denotes a flat stone slab rather than a specific type of rock. To keep expenses low, it’s advisable to choose a locally available stone.
Once you have your materials, the remaining steps involve laying out the walkway, excavating the path, applying edging and landscape fabric (or omitting it if you want grass to emerge between the cracks), and spreading sand before arranging the paving stones in an organized manner.
