Our walkway looks fabulous. You converted a boring, featureless landscape,
to a beautiful inviting walk. Thanks for the great work.

Thank you, Lisa in Phoenixville–it is an honor to serve!

The walkway featured above is made from large (and thick) slabs of Pennsylvania bluestone. Here, I was convinced to try using river rocks as a joint filling material–instead of my usual stone dust method. River rocks tend to kick out of flagstone joints, and get everywhere–like dangerous and annoying ball-bearings all of your flagstones. To avoid that sort of situation, larger river rocks were used–like 1.5″ to 2″ pieces. As such, the joints here are a bit wider than my usual tight-fit. In order to keep the flagstones stable over the long-term in such a situation–larger (and thicker) flagstones were used.
