First Time Paver
 

I am having my concrete walkway removed, in it's place I would like to
install a nice stone walkway. Flagstone is something I have seen and like
but am not sure this makes the most sense? I will also extend this walkway
to go around the side of my house and through a garden I am working on. The
amount of choices available are overwhelming; I am wondering what is the
best choice for this project. Something I can do myself and won't cost me a
fortune. At the sometime I am wondering if somebody can recommend a good
site and\or book to help guide me with the installation process.
Many thanks in advance.

Just a thought; is it necessary to remove the concrete? How about
doing whatever on top of it?

Hmm, hadn't thought of that.. The concrete is in pretty good shape. I assume
I would use mortar as opposed to sand and tamping?
