Our flagstone area was too small and hard to keep clean! We revamped it and made it four times the size for not much cost!
Flagstone can make a lovely patio, but in this case it was too hard to keep clean in an area that gets a lot of rain and little sunlight. See what we did to enlarge it at low cost to us!
We began by taking a pick axe and rocking the flagstone pieces until they came loose and pulled them out. They were all put off to the side to save until finished.
We ordered bags of crushed white rock from our local tile company and had them delivered to site. It was inexpensive and drains well in our area. We didn't use any underlayment and will just spray weed killer every once in awhile if necessary.
Now we have a beautiful French cafe look in the garden and added more details shown on my blog. For more about the process, cost and amounts purchased you can visit the blog Shabbyfufu that I'll link below.

Do not use chemicals to kill weeds especially if you have pets. Instead very hot water in a spray bottle with vinegar does the trick every time. Beautiful patio!
