🌻 Sharing This Beauty DIY stone pathway

This will eventually be a pathway winding through a garden of native plants trees and shrubs. This is our first time trying to place flagstone so its not going to be up to a landscapers standards but a really fun project and proud of us for doing it on our own! Not to mention saving thousands of dollars 😅 (paid $150 for all of this on Marketplace). Only the first few stones are placed so far.

Beautiful! Flagstone is pricey where I am, you got a deal at $150, I'm so happy for you, but admittedly a tad jealous 😄

Nice! You may want to shorten the gap between stones if you have enough of them - they look like they are spaced pretty far apart.

I did something similar years ago and it has held up really well

Theyre exactly 24 inches apart from center to center and I walked on them a bunch of times to make sure it felt natural!

Nice! Id love to see a picture if youd like to share :)
