Without knowing the square footage no one can offer more than wild

Yo, Brooklyn, ease off with the "meaningless drivel" g.



I went to our nabe stone yard today and was glad to see that they have broken flagstone for reasonable $.



I knew flagstone was reasonably priced when I originally suggested

it... and it needn't be fancy schmancy stone for a rarely used path...

and all flagstone is broken, that's what flagstone is, only some

idiots decided it looks better diamond sawed all the same size/shape.

I think flagstone looks nicer in its natural state, random

configuration.

Great site, thanks! I think the broken flagstone is going to be my solution.
I just hope, at $20/SF, it doesn't add up too much. The lady that showed me to the stuff reminded me to have the yard guy pick out nice pieces. Rather than just measure, I'll print out a pic on my color printer and show to yard guy.

Now to price creeping Thyme or similar.g
