“What ever you do, don’t go to American Soils without me.” I say this to clients. Its because of the dizzying array of flagstones available. But that rarely stops them.
Flagstone is true stone cut roughly in the shapes of flags. It is labeled by the region it is harvested. Arizona flagstone is terra-cotta-colored. Connecticut flagstone is gray. Connecticut “full-range” means gray with splotches of brown and black. Montana is a grizzled brown. There’s even flagstone with fossils in it.
Flagstone comes raw. We cut stone with a Diamond blade. We do this to get a tight seam when putting pieces of flagstone together. This gives the resulting patio or path a puzzle-like look. Flagstone can also be bought “pre-cut” into squares and rectangles to be laid in a pattern.
Whatever your aesthetic, flagstone is by far the classiest patio surface you can have.
