Flagstone Pathways.... What a delight!

If your looking out at your yard as the weather starts to get nicer and the word "boring" comes to mind... than your probably no different than most people.   I have a nice green lawn, I have shrubs around the perimeter of the grass and they look nice too.   But so does everyone else....  

If your looking for a way to really change the look of your landscape and take it from "same ole' same ole'" to "WOW"... Flagstone could be your solution!   The great thing about flagstone path ways and patios is how nice they look and that it also serves a practical purpose.   

For example, is your lawn mower sit in a shed in the corner of the yard?   Do you drag the bar-b-q out in the grass during the summer time to cook up steaks?   Do you have a certain path you always travel to get from the front to the back?   Creating a flagstone path or patio for these commonly used areas, turns a "generic" looking landscape into one with character and beauty.  Add some perennials beds around the border and you've created a quaint english garden that you can enjoy year after year!

The type of flagstone varies in color and texture to accommodate any "look" your going for.  Your imagination is your only limit!  

There are two types of flagstone "options" you may want.   One is sand set and the other is mortar set.  Sand set pathways allow you to plant ground cover between the flagstone to fill in over time.  Mortar set gives you a hard "grout like" look between the flagstone which allows for easier maintenance as weeds and grass cannot grow between the flagstone.   The mortar set is more laborious and makes it more expensive than the sand set.  Personally I like the sand set because I like the look of moss, thyme between the flagstone to give it more character.   

The great thing about flagstone to me is that the older it gets.... the better it looks!   A mature looking landscape is most desirable and with proper maintenance you can accomplish this!
