Flagstone is such a hard rock, it makes a nearly indestructible patio. Installing flagstone on crushed stone is easy if done properly. Laying flagstone patios in sand is not difficult, although the stone itself can be heavy. Laying a flagstone patio is like building a puzzle. The stone used for this flagstone patio project is 2†thick. Since the shape of this stone is irregular, laying a flagstone patio is like putting a puzzle together. The thickest, widest pieces will give you the most stability.
Laying flagstone patios in sand, as opposed to mortar or concrete, is known as dry construction." Dry construction is easier for do-it-yourselfers than wet construction. Not having to worry about finishing your stone placement before a layer of mortar hardens makes for a much more happy-go-lucky project. You can make adjustments as you go, on your own time-table. However, wet construction is more permanent. Stone laid in sand will have to be re-adjusted over the years. As settling occurs, you will have to add sand, to keep the desired level. If you don't mind tinkering with a project after it's done, this shouldn't present a problem. Just make sure you stay on top of it, so you don't end up with a lawsuit after someone trips over a loose piece. You can be creative in your design, but try to keep the spaces between the stones relatively small and try to keep the tops relatively flush.
In this case, we are working with very irregular stones, so we expect a somewhat uneven surface. You may have to add or remove sand to level each individual stone. Continue to check your level as you go along. You can use the edge of a board to smooth large areas.(read entire article)(posted on: 2010-05-04)

Philadelphia Residential Landscaping: To Hire Or Not To Hire A Professional Landscaper? By: Many homeowners may not realize initially that the
Many homeowners may not realize initially that their exterior living space requires just as much thought, planning, knowledge and budgeting, as the interior of your home. The colors, the mood, style, and the maintenance requirements of your home exterior space should involve a landscape design and implementation approach that is every bit as artistic and creative as an interior design. Philadelphia Landscapers routinely work with homeowners who initially began their Philadelphia landscaping project on their own, but soon realized the job required a pro! This is especially true if you’re Philadelphia landscaping and Philadelphia hardscaping project involves the integration of a patio, pool, pond, waterfall, irrigation system, and shaded structures and walls.
A Philadelphia landscape professional will work closely with you from the initial design and plan, discuss your objectives, family needs and budget, assess the amount of sunlight your home receives and at what time of day, in order to ensure the right plantings will grow in the right place, and bring to fruition the enduring beautification of your outdoor space to be enjoyed by friends and family for decades. Philadelphia landscaper recommends that homeowners locate a landscape architect that has a solid reputation in the area. Asking neighbors for referrals or noting landscaping that you see and like and asking for the name and numbers of the designer, can help narrow your search for the right landscaper and hardscaper for your project. Once the Philadelphia Landscaper arrives at your home for an initial consultation, he or she will survey your home exterior, ask questions about your personal tastes and preferences, your budget requirements, and take measurements around the property to be utilized during the design and planning phase.
Philadelphia Landscaper says many landscapers will bring photos to illustrate examples of what certain plantings may look like at maturation when placed in strategic areas around the home, patio, or pool. Philadelphia Landscape architects and designers take into consideration the many factors that will ultimately affect the planning needs such as sunlight versus shade, wind direction, slope of land, drainage systems, ground water, and sprinkler systems. The best Philadelphia landscapers will take all of these elements into affect, combined with the aesthetic features of the home itself (i.e. walkways, doorways, steps, arches, and columns), homeowner preferences and family needs such as children needing places to safely play, and create a beautiful, elegant, family friendly, and low maintenance outdoor space to be enjoyed and loved for years and years. Once the initial design is completed for the homeowners to review, they will interact with the landscape contractor to arrive at a final plan and budget that is the best fit all around. Once the design is finalized, implementation can begin. Philadelphia landscaper makes note that a reputable landscaper will work as a true partner with their landscaping clients, ensure their needs are met from the start with regard to plantings materials, hardscape structures, and overall look. The landscape designer will select al the planting materials for the project, and the crew is then scheduled to begin the project, and bring the outdoor living space design to life! Philadelphia Landscaper ensures that the lead contractor on the project and landscape project designer are on the job at the residence daily, consistently working with the crew supervisor to make sure the design is being implemented as required, and can troubleshoot any unforeseen obstacles that may arise. In the end, when all of the components of the landscaping project have come together as they should, on time, and within budget, the new outdoor living space will greatly increase the home’s value, and most importantly be a homeowner’s functional outdoor paradise, a true extension of their home, an at home vacation destination, and a source of pleasure and enjoyment for as long as they reside there! Philadelphia Landscaping will be happy to discuss your custom residential landscaping needs and turn your outdoor space into your very own backyard paradise.(read entire article)(posted on: 2010-04-30)
