I think it's a great idea that they actually grow between those cracks. I think i want to do this for the cracks i found recently. It's better than covering them with something else.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.dhlandscapedesign.com/" rel="nofollow">DHLandscapeDesign.com</a> <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03114877631899590368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-68757046428740632512013-06-15T11:06:04.936-05:002013-06-15T11:06:04.936-05:00Gwen: What I've discovered is that although th...Gwen: What I've discovered is that although the patio gets lots of sunlight in the early part of the year, come mid-summer it's in full shade due to the overhead vines. The end result is that *nothing* really grows in those cracks -- certainly not well enough to overpower the weeds. It's a constant battle for me.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393082652312828458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-60015481523286591622013-06-14T22:58:46.403-05:002013-06-14T22:58:46.403-05:00Please update us on your thyme and sedum in the fl...Please update us on your thyme and sedum in the flagstone.

We have similiar flagstone patio and are considering the exact plants you mentioned to fill the 2-3" cracks. I'm interested to see what your patio looks like now? Do you have a more recent photo of the differences between the sedum and the thymes?<br />Thanks!dlbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14023023065514783597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-63029805778284966882012-04-20T17:16:47.140-05:002012-04-20T17:16:47.140-05:00Two words: polymeric sand.

My problem is that the spaces between the flagstones on my patio are soft, so if a dinner guest doesn't set her chair properly, one of the legs is is liable to sink into the crack, causing a disaster. What can I use to fill the cracks, short of cement, that will solve that embarrassing problem? Thanks, MaryMary Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17296752281744690831noreply@blogger.com
