To help you narrow down the possibilities, we’ve come up with eight flagstone ideas to incorporate in your yard.

• Batu anu henteu teratur, buleud used for “crazy paving,” which means fitting those random shapes together for an informal, natural look. 

For either shape option, you can lay flagstones dry on a bed of sand or gravel (“dry-laid”) or use concrete (“wet-laid”). If you’re using thinner flagstones, it’s a good idea to lay them in concrete, as they sometimes crack easily when laid dry. 

Whatever kind of landscaping project you’re working on, the cost of flagstone is typically $15 to $20 per square foot. That price covers all the materials needed, including the stone itself and sand, gravel, or concrete. 

The price varies depending on what specific type of flagstone you use and whether it’s dry-laid or wet-laid. Dry-laid is typically cheaper because you won’t have to pay for concrete.
