Flagstone

What Is Flagstone?

Flagstone is a flat stone used for paving and other landscaping applications. It's prized for its durability, natural beauty, and versatility. At Stone Center LLC, we offer two main types of flagstone: irregular and patterned.

Irregular Flagstone

Irregular flagstone features unique, organic shapes that create a rustic and natural look. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, allowing for creative and custom designs.

Key Features:

  • Natural, varied shapes
  • Excellent for casual, rustic designs
  • Ideal for pathways, patios, and garden accents

Patterned Flagstone

As the name suggests, patterned flagstone offers a more uniform appearance with consistent shapes and sizes. This option provides a cleaner, more structured look for your outdoor spaces.

Key Features:

  • Consistent shapes and sizes
  • Perfect for formal designs and precise layouts
  • Ideal for patios, pool decks, and entryways

Random Rectangular Pattern

Random Rectangular Pattern

This is the most common flagstone pattern, combining various sizes ranging from nominal 12" x 12" to 24" x 36". It uses squares and rectangles in 6" multiples, creating a non-directional layout suitable for most applications.

European Pattern

European Pattern

Stones of varying widths are stacked in courses, with joints staggered between courses. This formal pattern has parallel lines, offering a linear look and a more formal appearance, commonly used in European sidewalks.

Irregular Pattern

Irregular Pattern

Irregular stones have no 90-degree corners or straight edges, resulting in a rustic appearance. They are typically available in earthy shades and tones, adding a natural touch to your project.

Diamond Set Pattern

Diamond Set Pattern

Among the most formal methods, stones of similar size are laid at a 45-degree angle to the area's edges. This pattern requires extra stone to allow diagonal cuts along the perimeters.

Semi-Random Rectangular Pattern

Semi-Random Rectangular Pattern

Combining squares, rectangles, and diagonal-cut stones, this unusual design was popular in the early 1900s, providing a distinctive and visually engaging look.

Popular Flagstone Applications

Flagstone's versatility and natural beauty make it an excellent choice for various outdoor and indoor applications. We’ve outlined some popular ways to use flagstone in your projects:

Walkways and Sidewalks

Flagstone creates charming and durable walkways that blend seamlessly with nature. Its non-slip surface makes it ideal for garden paths, front entrances, and sidewalks.

Patios

A flagstone patio provides a stunning outdoor living space that stands the test of time. Flagstone patios are perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or dining al fresco.

Pool Decks

Flagstone is an excellent choice for pool decks due to its natural non-slip surface when wet. It stays cool underfoot even in hot weather, so it’s comfortable for bare feet.

Outdoor Fire Pits

Surround your outdoor fire pit with flagstone to create a cozy and attractive gathering space. The stone's heat-resistant properties make it ideal for this application, and its natural appearance complements the rustic charm of an outdoor fire pit.

BBQ Stands

Create a stylish and functional outdoor kitchen area with flagstone. Use it for countertops, flooring, or to build the structure of your BBQ stand. Flagstone's durability and ease of cleaning make it perfect for outdoor cooking spaces.

Driveways

For a grand entrance to your property, consider a flagstone driveway. While more commonly used for residential applications, a flagstone driveway on small commercial properties can also make a striking impression.

Interior Flooring

Bring the beauty of nature indoors with flagstone flooring. It's especially popular for entryways, sunrooms, and basements because it creates a seamless transition from outdoor to indoor spaces.

Common Flagstone Sizes

Flagstone comes in a variety of sizes to suit different applications and aesthetic preferences. Here are some common sizes you'll find at Stone Center LLC:

  1. Small Flagstones: 12" to 18" in diameter.
    • Ideal for small walkways, stepping stones, and detailed designs.
  2. Medium Flagstones: 18" to 24" in diameter.
    • Perfect for patios, larger walkways, and pool decks.
  3. Large Flagstones: 24" to 36" in diameter.
    • Great for expansive patios, driveways, and making bold statements in landscaping.
  4. Extra Large Flagstones: 36" and larger.
    • Used for dramatic effect in large spaces or as feature pieces.

Thickness ranges from 1" for interior use to 3"+ for steps and wall caps.

If you’re not sure where to start, know that our team at At Stone Center LLC offers custom cutting to ensure you get the perfect size for your project.

Cost-Effective

While initial costs may be higher than some materials, flagstone's longevity makes it a cost-effective choice over time.

Low Maintenance

Regular cleaning and occasional sealing are usually sufficient to maintain flagstone's appearance.

Durability

Flagstone is renowned for its longevity and ability to withstand Ohio's diverse climate conditions, including freeze-thaw cycles.

Versatility

Available in various sizes, shapes, and patterns, flagstone can be used for diverse applications.

    What People Are Saying About Stone Center

    Steve Harman

    We went in with ideas and found exactly what we needed for our flagstone project. Staff is very friendly and helped us find what we needed instead of what they wanted to sell. The selection and quality of products they have can’t be described adequately here. You have to go see it. Highly recommend!

    Mimi Johnson

    They are so customer-friendly at the Stone Center, even for do-it-yourselfers like me. Chris Gose was so helpful and took time with me to select the right flagstone and gravel for my project and in arranging for my lanscaper to pick it up. The products are great too. I just made another trip there and both the owner waited on me and another guy (didn't catch his name). They were great as well. Thank you! I will be back.
