Lay Flagstone Walkway on Dirt

A rustic look can be achieved with flagstone, which is suitable for laying in the dirt since it is heavy. You can lay flagstone on dirt with a few easy steps.

First, measure the area you want to place your pieces of flagstone.
Shovel down three to six inches in the measured area. And then flatten and smooth the area with a rake.
Lay the flagstone in the area and make sure it’s flat. After that, pack dirt around the stone, so it doesn’t wobble.
Next, you’ll lay the other pieces of flagstone with the same process and keep them spaced only a few inches apart.
The flagstone can be cleaned by sweeping and rinsing off the excess dirt once it has been placed and set.
Give the walkway a few hours to dry before walking on it.
