Water does cause decomposed granite to harden, but not into anything resembling cement. Wetting and then compressing (foot traffic will do it) will pack it down. Once the sun has dried it out again, it's much, much more compact. It goes from loose sand to the consistency of packed, sun-baked dirt. When it's wet for the first time, it's like frosting or mud. After drying out for the first time, subsequent wettings won't return it to this soft state, so don't worry.

Whose tree is it that is between sidewalk and curb.Is it the home owners or the towns.Who can cut down the tree.?
It is perfectly fine for the homeowner to cut it down the town won't mind. The town is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the trees between the curb and the sidewalk, and if you cut it down without notifying them, you risk a legal entanglement (fines, replacement costs etc) with the town. Therefore, the real answer to this lies with each town. Call your town hall before doing anything to the tree.

How To Build a Flagstone Walkway?
A walkway up to the front door of the home can provide a positive view of the homeowners. With the appropriate landscaping and design, a flagstone path will complement any style of home. A flagstone walkway may require some specialized tools (such as a masonry saw) but can be easily completed by do-it-yourself types. When installing a flagstone walkway, consider the base, the flagstones themselves, and the flagstone filling. A flagstone walkway is relatively easy to install. Mark the route of the intended walkway, and dig down to a depth of five or so inches. Tamp the bottom of the foundation down as firm and compact as possible. Outline the walkway with plastic edging. Fine grained masonry sand will fill in the walkway’s route and form the foundation for the flagstones. Placing the flagstones should result in a height of less than an inch above the surrounding ground. This ensures the flagstones will have a stable base and not shift dramatically after installation. A concrete foundation can also be poured for a permanent base. Flagstones are a common home improvement stone, and are typically wide and flat. They often come in a range of different colors. A masonry saw can be used to cut flagstones to fit a curving or sinuous walkway. Flagstones are usually large in size and can be cut down fairly easily. The common availability means prices should be relatively low for enough flagstones to pave a lengthy walkway. The filling between the flagstones helps to ensure the walkway will not separate after a rain or snowfall. Masonry sand can be used to fill in the cracks between flagstones. For a sand foundation, masonry sand will be needed to fill in the gaps on occasion. A concrete foundation will not require sand filling between flagstones except for aesthetic purposes. With careful preparation, a level, and some hard work, a flagstone walkway will allow visitors to enjoy a cultivated pathway up to the front door of the home. Flagstone offers the chance to design a creative layout, with colorful flagstones and a durable pattern. Any architectural style can be complemented by a lovely flagstone walkway.
