My video on how to build a flagstone patio or walkway: https://youtu.be/oPDW1xQ7_SE
My video on how to cut flagstone: https://youtu.be/JsSTBlKbg2M
In this video I share a time-lapse of me building a walkway out of flagstone from my front yard to my backyard. You’ll get to see the entire process including digging down, tamping the dirt, laying down the gravel base, leveling the layer of decomposed granite, placing the flagstones, cutting the flagstones, and finally leveling the flagstones.
I’ve already done a video explaining exactly how to build this step by step, so be sure to watch that. However, I think this will give you a really good idea of what the process actually looks like.
This project took me about twenty hours to complete from start to finish. I completed it over a period of seven days working anywhere from 1.5hrs to 4hrs each day. There’s a lot of digging and it is back breaking work so I wouldn’t recommend doing this for 8 hours a day unless you are used to this type of work already (for example if you install floors for a living.)
I think I could have finished this a bit faster, but I had to dig around a lot of roots from a nearby tree and avoid damaging a sprinkler line in the process. I also had to repair the sprinkler line.

Subtitles for each step would have been helpful
Where did you buy those stepping stones?
5 minutes? How long did it take you in your time?
The long 5 minutes. lol
Seriously? Yeah easy to follow😟
عمل مذهل .
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??
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.
Not helpful!! Thumbs down
Not the best how to video for beginners
Good job man
Great walkway but an explanation of the steps and all the materials used would have helped those of us trying to learn.
Well, I learned NO MUCH from this video.
By 5 minutes you mean 5 days
Seems like a ton of work and very time consuming. I'd rather pay someone for this as my time is better placed elsewhere…
This would have probably been a very helpful video if I didn't feel like I was having a seizure….
It will take you a whole day to level flag stone in smaller pieces natural stone is in all sizes
It looks beautiful! You did a lovely job!
Horrible video…no explanation of what you are doing or what materials you are using. Just watching you in fast motion is not a "How To" video.
Looks awesome
The video is 5 mins you tools, Not the actual process….lol SMH
5 minutes??? Oh, you mean in time lapse!
Looks great! Obviously a great amount of work, but it looks absolutely beautiful.
That would take me 5 days not 5 min.
Nicely done. Very labor intensive to get it to look right & be level.
Building a cobblestone path.
Was ok to watch.
What was the material swept into joints of stones
Sorry I couldn't pay attention because I was watching your body the whole time 🤦🏻♂️
🥰
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?
