Flagstone Installation: So what’s so special about Flagstone?

A flagstone is a flat stone or slab, usually made of sedimentary rock such as limestone or bluestone or hard sandstone. It is usually flat and of an irregular shape which is one reason why many like it: every design is different. Another reason is that it is resilient and durable (okay that’s two more reasons!) and it also comes in a stunning array of colors, some even contain embedded fossils!

There are many uses. Patios, driveways, paths and borders come to mind, but flagstones have been used for fences, roof tiles, chimneys and even headstones. There is in fact a vast range of applications and uses.

One great thing about flagstones is the enormous range of colors, thickness, shapes and forms. Of course you could throw in easy to use, practical, long lasting, attractive and virtually non-slip!

Couple this with the fact that flagstones can easily be laid on a well formed, flat surface of sand, stone-dust, road base or cement. The choices are endless and the results spectacular.

With such a versatile product, it would not be difficult to find new ideas and designs that put that special finish to your outdoor project, and especially since most of the work you could do yourself.
