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
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.

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.
