Repairing a Broken Stone Walkway

Where to find it?
Roger used thin ¾-inch bluestone to replace the broken pieces, which he purchased from Martignetti Enterprises Inc.

Roger set the bluestone in a mix of stone dust and water. He then filled the joints with polymeric sand to prevent weeds and discourage insects. Stone dust and polymeric sand are available at masonry supply stores.
