The base preparation is the most important part of the entire flagstone installation process. Appropriate base material, thickness, and compaction are essential to ensure your installation will last a lifetime. Use either a hand tamper or plate compactor and firmly compact the gravel base material. For best compaction compact in 4” layers.
Sweeping specially graded Unilock® Jointing Sand (available from your Unilock® Dealer) into the joints of the flagstone further locks the flagstone blocks together.
Concrete pavers are suitable for driveways and other heavy traffic areas, while more delicate stone, such as bluestone or flagstone, is used for walkways and patios. flagstone can be cut into the brick so you don't have one long brick runway.
The choice of Brussels Block® tumbled pavers was perfect to go with the natural flagstone used else where in the landscaping of this pool area. |
