What is the cheapest flagstone?

Limestone and sandstone are typically the cheapest flagstones. Locally sourced stone will always be cheaper than stone shipped from far away, so visit a local stone yard to find the most affordable options in your area. 

Can you lay flagstone directly in soil?

You can lay thick, heavy pieces of flagstone directly in soil, and they should be fine. Here’s how to do it.

Thinner pieces of flagstone are better off with a base of concrete, since they can break easily when laid alone.

When to Call a Landscaping Professional

Since there are so many different types and styles of flagstone, you might want a professional landscaper’s help figuring out which one is best for your specific project. A pro can also help you come up with more unique landscaping ideas for using flagstone in your yard. 

If you use a landscaping professional instead of going the DIY route, you can rest assured that your flagstones will be laid correctly so they can enhance your landscape for years to come.
