flagstone paths and patios

[kdmcon]

I have had a request to complete some flagstone work which a previous landscaper could not i am just wonder what would be a reasonable rate per sq/ft for the prep since the material is already been purchased. Thanks

if it is something you haven't done charge them an hourly rate for the machine and labor after doing one or two you will have a better idea of whats involved.....Jeff

We have a new building in town and I watched as they laid stone on the side walk, they put down a layer of crush and run, then rolled it, another layer of course sand and rolled it as well. Before they laid the stone they used a long 2x4, working back and forth leveling the base. And finally the stone which they hammered with a mallet. Looks good.

Depends on the market in your area but I would think for preparing the base would be $8-10 /ft2.

Thanks for the help. I had at talk with my stone supplier and she suggested any where around 29.00-33.00/sqft including all materials and labour
