When it comes to paving or constructing outdoor surfaces, few materials provide the unique appearance and rustic appeal of flagstones, which are flat sedimentary rocks pieced together in a puzzle-like manner to create a hard, continuous surface. Large, flat flagstones can be used for a variety of landscaping projects, including patios, pathways, and seating areas. They come in a range of textures and colors, though their pallets tend toward natural earth-tones. You can choose to use one color or a mixture of complementary colors and have the flagstones cut into squares or rectangles or left more irregular and authentic in shape. Sometimes they are laid with concrete to create a solid surface, or other people prefer to lay the flagstones individually in a way that allows plants or moss to grow between them. Most commonly, you find decorative flagstone used for pathways, patios, and as stepping stones.

Why do you need to clean and seal flagstone?

Flagstone surfaces that are part of outdoor living spaces get regular use from the property’s residents and visitors. Walkways and paths may endure plenty of foot traffic, while patios and other seating areas have constant contact with chairs, tables and other furniture. Because of this use, the natural stones may become worn or damaged over time. They are prone to chipping or breaking off in gritty pieces. Flagstones are also particularly susceptible to water stains and damage, as well as staining from spilled food, beverages or other substances. Fortunately with flagstone surfaces, one damaged rock piece can be replaced rather than having to redo the whole surface.
