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. Ted |

Just a thought; is it necessary to remove the concrete? How about
doing whatever on top of it? Ted Appleberry wrote: I am having my concrete walkway removed, in it's place I would like to install a nice stone walkway.

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? "Bennett Price" wrote in message . .. Just a thought; is it necessary to remove the concrete? How about doing whatever on top of it?
