Bluestone Walkway Concrete or Dry Laid
by monica haskin
We are getting estimates and have been told that having cement under the bluestone will prevent stones from shifting. Is this true? Thanks. ANSWER Yes, but if the dry laid bluestones are set properly, they should not shift. Above is a picture of a drylaid bluestone walk. Please take a look at my page about Bluestone Patios. Concrete joints can crack from freeze thaw conditions, especially in New York. You can repair the cracks, but it will never look the same because the new concrete rarely matches the old. Dry laid stone is also much less expensive. Just as a note, I hardly ever specify bluestone to be set in concrete due to the above reasons. Susan

Hi Susan,
Thank you for putting so much thought into the design. We really like it, especially the curvilinear shape with clean lines. I love the curved seat wall and hypothetical placement of furniture, the shape of the path, etc. Thanks again for all your help.
I'm getting excited about the plan becoming reality sometime soon.
