You can build a flagstone patio from the help of this article from Popular Mechanics.
My dad hasn't laid many patios in Bluestone or Slate, so I found an article that can help you out with that. Those stones are nice for smoother surfaces. Most of the sandstone that we've worked with have rougher surfaces.
There are many good pictures and great tips on laying stone down in sand. These are some of the topics covered in the article:
Layout and Preparation,
Putting down the right base,
Laying and cutting the stone
Determining the pitch
and Filling the joints.
There are also many other free videos and tutorials to help you out with your patio.
Just Go Here!
Great luck with your project!!
