My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

clean flagstone before laying it

17 years ago

Hi,

I bought some flagstone today and the stones are

very dusty and dirty. Is is it ok if I wash them

first (with garden house) before I lay them out with

mortar. Do I need to wait till they are dry ?

Thanks and Greetings,

Chris
