Flagstone Patio - Help!
by

Had a Flagstone Patio laid with "crusher rock gravel" as the base & between the slabs. We were assured it would be very low maintenance, NOT!!! Can Quickrete be used between the slabs now that they have settled into the "sand"? Any ideas would be so appreciated!?

Simply put, no. The spaces are to wide and the depth is to shallow. All the cement would do is crack and crumble. Not much you can do without pulling up and starting over using a better base. If the base does not allow for water to flow freely though it, this will heave and shift every time it rains or freezes. Installing these stones are not as simple as one would think.

What do you consider low or high maintenance?

How often you have to maintain it or service it to keep it performing as it was designed. In the case of this patio, its very high maintenance as the sand between each flag stone will need to be replaced and fixed after any heavy weather event.
