How to restore a crumbling 1960s flagstone entryway
In short: When flagstone steps lose their stability, they become a safety hazard. This video demonstrates how a professional mason repairs loose stones and broken joints to ensure a long-lasting, stable entryway.
Mason Mark McCullough demonstrates the technical process of repairing a flagstone entryway dating back to the 1960s. The repair involves chipping out old joints and resetting stones into new mortar beds.
To ensure the repair is aesthetically seamless, McCullough uses a sponge to blend the new mortar with the existing structure before finishing the project with a soft joint.
