Flagstone is a flat stone appropriate for a variety of home uses - including walkways, patios, outdoor kitchens and applications. The material offers a number of benefits.
1.) It comes in a number of shapes, colors, finishes and textures, offering the perfect stone to complement your home’s exterior or landscape.
2.) It withstands water well.
3.) Because it doesn’t conduct heat, it will never feel hot to the touch.
The cost to install a flagstone patio will depend on several factors.
A flagstone patio offers many benefits over materials like concrete, wood and pavers. Some of the main benefits of installing flagstone include:
1.) Added space: With a flagstone patio, you’re adding onto your home. It’s ideal for enjoying the warm weather, outdoor entertainment, grilling or just stargazing. And it’s less expensive than an actual addition.
2.) Durability: Since flagstone patios are made of natural stone, they are sturdy and reliable. Sealing and staining protects them against the elements and further increases their durability. They won’t crack, chip or fade over time.
3.) Increased value: Adding a flagstone patio to your backyard increases the value of your home. And it makes your landscape more appealing to potential buyers.
4.) Unique look: No two flagstones are the same. Because of the different colors, sizes and textures available, you will never find one that exactly matches your own - even if it’s made from the same material.
