Flagstone in Nashville and Middle Tennessee
Material guide

Flagstone

Flat, irregular and unmistakably natural, flagstone gives patios and paths a timeless look that no manufactured product quite matches.

Flagstone is a flat sedimentary stone split into slabs. Each piece is different, so the finished patio looks one-of-a-kind. Colors range from warm tans and browns to cool blues and grays. Irregular shapes create a casual look, while cut pieces give a more formal one.

Flagstone can be set in sand or stone dust for a more natural, permeable surface, or on a concrete slab with mortar for a tighter, more formal look. Each approach has its place, and we help you choose based on the style of the house, the use and the budget.

Questions

Flagstone FAQ

Is flagstone slippery?

Textured surfaces provide good grip, but any stone can be slick when wet. We choose finishes with traction in mind.

Is flagstone more expensive than pavers?

Should flagstone be mortared?

It depends on use and style. Dry-laid is permeable and informal, mortared is tighter and more formal.
