A huge cost in most other landscape installations is labor. Not many people can just figure out how to build concrete forms or install sod. Flagstone is intuitive and requires nothing but the flagstone itself, a shovel, a wheelbarrow, and some heavy lifting. The only thing to remember when installing flagstones is that each one should be firmly set in the ground and at the same level as the stones around it to prevent tripping hazards. A few wheelbarrows full of wet sand can help greatly with setting the flagstones so that they are secure. Additionally, giving the pathway a slight slope will assist with water drainage, especially in areas with lots of rain. Aside from these few considerations, though, it is ultimately up to the installer to decide the details of his or her own design.
