Build a Flagstone Pathway In 5 Minutes

[@Gladys7477]

Great walkway but an explanation of the steps and all the materials used would have helped those of us trying to learn.

[@djvelvetgrrl]

There's a video showing all the steps that you can click on at the end of this video. Or search his channel for flagstone patio.

[@djvelvetgrrl]

I see now he actually links to the video on the description of this video! 😊

Loved when you installed landscape fabric😮

[@AtlantisIndigo]

Bhahahahaha

[@ZeranZeran]

Beautiful job, I had no idea the stones were cut to fit, DUH! Looks perfect and natural!

[@xWaRLoRDxx]

Yeah if your not good enought to fit them together naturally

[@Arthur-ek7nd]

you can, you can also rough fit them with a stone splitting chisel, or you can natural fit by playing around with placement for hours and picking specific stones from your rock yard

[@maureenlavallee1319]

fabulous job, guess i won’t be doing this myself!

[@cindyski4413]

I guess I’ll be going for the cheaper and crappier version! Great job! Impressive!

[@camaroman101]

Same, I'll add time and labor saving also

[@skpts]

Bro, this was absolutely AWESOME. And I totally applaud the way you recorded it and are giving everybody access to a longer version. F#@* the haters. GREAT JOB!

[@MrP-zt5rn]

Great video, everything is common sense and the only thing I never knew was about how to make them fit or pre fit and the wet saw the pieces together. Easy money. 1st time watching a flagstone video. Now I got it.

[@StayHandy]

Perfect!

[@jose2226]

How didnit go

[@kristyjones7657]

Man😅, that looked like extremely hard work!😅🏆🥇

[@stonelark]

Dang ... that's a lot of work! This video was great to show the steps involved to do it right. And it looks fantastic when finished. I may hire it out instead of doing it myself.

[@jenniroberds1571]

I most definitely enjoy 😉 your videos, and appreciate the reply! Great Job! It looks sharp and I'll keep my fingers 🤞 ours turns out as nicely

[@donnafe3947]

Very well done. I don’t think the entire process took only 5 minutes!

[@ashimieeemmanuel7508]

5 times 12 minutes 🤣🤣🤣

[@fish1999onBass]

*Perfect flagstone pathway*

[@g1g72]

First KZbin video I've ever slowed down. Helped alot. Thanks!

[@ginarebere6905]

It looks beautiful! You did a lovely job!

[@StayHandy]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@cmebeth]

Looks great! I want to know about that downspout pouring directly onto the path-- will that make the stones get slippery with algae buildup, or maybe that thing should have been directed under the path out into the yard before you made this gorgeous path?

[@sab_1055]

Beautiful! My first thought was 5 minutes with a dump truck maybe, but that's a cool cutting tool. I want one.

[@StayHandy]

Thanks 👍

[@genevievecolmenero9380]

I needed Information how and explain a process so i could implement it. Thanks.

[@Crumpled4skin111]

Look awesome! But shouldn’t you use weed barrier fabric?

[@restagiu]

Are the stones 1" or 1 1/2" thick? do you think they could be cut with agrinder and tile diamond blades? I do not have that saw.

[@ReasonNotFightFlight]

Looks great! Obviously a great amount of work, but it looks absolutely beautiful.

[@StayHandy]

Thanks!

[@jenniroberds1571]

5:13 Im curious if you would have done anything different with your downspout from your gutter? Also how is it holding up?

[@StayHandy]

It's holding up great.

[@blowfish6173]

completely invaluable without describing the steps.

[@cindyski4413]

I don’t move that fast in 5 minutes! 😂

[@fingers2556]

Just took two Excedrin!

[@Critical-Thinker895]

I tried moving that fast and caught on frre.

[@vecon20]

😄😄😄😄👍

[@Karlapanini28192]

your wife says u can be done in 5 minutes

[@photojunkysdronezonevlog]

All the people that gave it a thumbs-down because they actually thought he did all the work in 5 minutes, were the same people who got mad at the get-rich-quick in 5 minutes video.

[@daniel.gilliss6030]

Nicely done. Very labor intensive to get it to look right & be level.

[@StayHandy]

Thanks. A small walkway like this isn’t too bad but an entire patio is a lot to handle.

[@mysteriousmike226]

Hey...better than watching cement dry🤣🤣✌️btw great job

[@nataliehincapie2128]

Where did you buy those stepping stones?

[@VibingoutwithRene]

Nice video. What kind of stones are you using? Could you tell me the name of the flagstones?

[@bassphantom4613]

Great work! That man for sure tired after that. Wow.

[@bryanfindley1438]

wow, what a great job!

[@StayHandy]

Thank you!

[@margaretlee-reed814]

Very nice 😊

[@leticiavallejo7914]

Great job❗Looks beautiful❗I would have tackled this 20yrs ago 🤣, now, it's, "Call the Handyman." 🤷‍♀️ NOTE: In his comments he said the job took 20 hours. He did it in increments of about 1-4 hours/day. It would have taken me 20 days 🤣🤦‍♀️🤣.

[@jackiesicilian5720]

We have a path like this but it's grown moss for years in between, if I scrape that out what do I fill it with??

[@robn.1904]

Wow! Good work!

[@GaganDeepSingh-if1ov]

Is there a detailed version of this with supplies and tool info?

[@roscmon]

Maybe you should have done it in 15 minutes so we could have a little time to see some details of the progress.

[@StayHandy]

I have another video which is a detailed step by step for building a flagstone patio. I recommend watching that for more details.

[@jusatnk]

Try slowing down the playback speed.Button at lower right corner.

[@jamesschenken1636]

Nice job. I especially liked the attention to detail in leveling each stone.

[@kortnee-annhasselmann8038]

Nothing about this, including the video length, was 5 minutes 😂

[@donnamcgrath1704]

😂😂😂

[@thedohhh]

Lol

[@Elderelic]

I was thinking the same thing lmaoo

[@vinetamer]

And we all watched till the end right?

[@lkey8254]

Yeah, but it got us all to watch it, huh?!😂

[@rackeliosis]

Wow this is great! Thanks! Could you top the crevices with pea gravel as well once the path is inlaid completely?

[@shadyman6346]

No, you may not.

[@MiguelinaAriasMIA]

May you please put what material you were using? That would be helpful. Thank you

[@StayHandy]

It’s flagstone. I have a video on how to install a. Flagstone patio that is the same process and I explain it in more depth:

[@loganniss]

how long did this take you? looks great

[@nikkistudt7309]

anddddddd, thank you for the reminder that I need to HIRE someone to do this!

[@mountaingal5555]

Great inspiration video for a small project. I didn't see any edging used to hold pavers in place and keep them from migrating. Is that normal for sandstone?

[@StayHandy]

You don’t need edging as long as you place the larger stones around the perimeter.

[@mountaingal5555]

@@StayHandy You are correct! Once I starting lifting the larger sandstones yesterday, I found out how heavy they are. I watched your longer video too. Thanks again for filming and posting.

[@TrexChick]

excellent job

[@ChrisDembinsky]

Does anyone have any recommendations on where this is sold near east central Florida? Looking for a distributor not retail big box stores.

[@southeastsales4142]

How long in time did this take for you to do total?

[@hawkeye9661]

Really awesome job! I am attempting to do a small area with Arizona Flagstone with unfortunately all different sizes . I've never seen sand and DG used together. Before I start the job please help me with your rationale on that. I'm wondering if the sand is for leveling and the DG was used for stabilizing the flags together.... Thanks again for a great vid.

[@jennienshaneopals291]

I’m a stone mason ..nice job young fella

[@barabralister916]

Clever way to get people to view your video 😀😀 The video was 5 minutes long but, it obviously took you much longer to do the job !!! Love the finished product though😀

[@StayHandy]

Thanks! 😃

[@rickloudermilk6351]

Yes. Thank you for speeding it up. I was able to get the general idea!

[@Joliesrealm]

Looks awesome

[@Michael-wy7om]

Looks good 👍

[@StayHandy]

Thanks!

[@Tinyteacher1111]

Can’t see, but there’s a longer version?

[@zeejimi4044]

No gravel layer for enhanced drainage ? Do you think the stone slabs will still be level after one or two winters or rainstorms ? I don‘t. ❄️⛈💦

[@wegoall9188]

Absolutely beautiful.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@ShawnPatrickMurphy]

Good job man

[@Cha0sRider]

Quick question: Do you think it would be best to reroute your irrigation line instead of underneath the walkway or is it ok like that?

[@StayHandy]

If you can avoid routing your water lines under hardscapes, do it. But most of the time you can’t.

[@Reavesuppercut]

confirmed: i did all that in 5 minutes. Barely broke a sweat

[@mr.joshua204]

God damn liar

[@alanguan277]

do you not need a gravel/aggregate base? wont it shift

[@StayHandy]

There is a gravel base

[@corysimpson1450]

will this be ok if you have freezing and thawing ?

[@joshcole4520]

What was the material swept into joints of stones

[@StayHandy]

Decomposed granite (DG) with the screenings.

[@dorothyandrews8872]

I am in the process of doing this but since I have never done it before this was a little too fast for me. We all are not great at this stuff and the prep work is very important and I think I missed out on what was going on. The end result is great but not east to follow to get there

[@colomacountry]

great job man, it looks like the hardest part was levelling :)

[@StayHandy]

It was!

[@susanb374]

The gutter at the front of the garage? What was done with that?

[@seand2278]

I feel like the Home Improvement theme should be playing. UuUuUh (that noise Tim Allen makes)

[@kandyfleet]

Very nice work

[@cdcd4502]

What is the white stuff under each stone

[@darlene5286]

Even faster if you watch in 2x speed 😂 This was interesting, thanks

[@StayHandy]

Glad you enjoyed!

Beautiful

Thank you! Cheers!

[@vidikat]

Genius!

[@worganyos]

great video

[@alanmacphee9302]

Thank you for this video! It was the perfect length, very informative, and well-produced.

[@BL-vz3fv]

In your " how to build a flagstone patio or walkway" video you said to use 1 1/2 inch- 2 inch flagstone - this flagstone looks like 1/2 -3/4 inch at best. How is it holding up?

[@flyguy917]

How much would this cost? A ballpark range.

[@jay2dv1]

How did you know how much flagstone you needed?

[@StayHandy]

I measured the width and multiplied it by the height and figured out the approximate sq feet.

[@DK-qx3lv]

Nice!

[@elliottalderson2788]

It took me longer to complete my 3rd grade jigsaw puzzle 🧩?

[@oksanavladimirovna1423]

That's a lot of work...

[@patrickfarrell6638]

Nice work.

[@zacharyarcaro2886]

Did you plant something beside the walkway and between the stones next to the house? If so, what was it and how is it doing?

[@StayHandy]

No

[@tannerscherer9586]

I’m interested in offering this to some clients of mine. If I may ask, how much do you charge for something like this?

[@StayHandy]

So many variables to consider. I do have a pricing course at HandymanStartuo.com that I recommend though.

[@Mockduck2020]

Beautiful job!

[@StayHandy]

Thank you!

[@MendedAndWholeLife]

nice man

[@crazyhandshands9028]

Brother use a hand grinder with a chipping hammer you get way nice cuts all the time

[@elizabethackerly679]

Thank you, your videos are very helpful. We have only 1/4 in slate, can we use That for a flagstone patio following your instructions for 1-2in flagstone? Do we have to use concrete and mortar for the slate?

[@StayHandy]

1/4" seems very thin. Honestly I don't know the answer but it seems like that would be fragile and you'd have a lot of breaks over time.

[@jeromekeehn1128]

For a walkway you can get y with 1.5 inches, but 2 inches is recommended. For a patio definitely 2".

[@kristycannon7923]

He did such a beautiful job! My question is: Was he going for the grass eventually growing between the stones? Some people like that look. I guess he could've put down a weed cloth and filled the gaps between the stones with a fine pea gravel for another type of look, too. Or, he could've used paver set sand and maybe kept the weeds & grass out of spaces between the stones. Would love to see an update later as the grass fills in to see what it looks like.

[@macysondheim]

Seen way better pathways than that… personally wasn’t impressed at all./

[@daniel.gilliss6030]

@@macysondheim I bet you have never built one yourself. Step off Hater.

[@marcosmota1094]

@@macysondheim I just finished a pathway with about forty five natural stones. Different thicknesses, shapes, protrusions, pivot points, etc. Took three days even with lots of my tricks and cheats...looks great, good meshing, balance, and decent water shedding. I still need to see how it weathers for a few seasons, and appreciate that OP did this time lapse in addition to the full videos. It's one thing to "have seen" better work, it's quite another to work up to the task and *do* it.

[@YourPalBenFrank]

The weed cloth won't work if your putting topsoil in between anyway your better off spraying it and letting grass fill in the gaps
