Flagstone patio in Denver Colorado
| Posted on 27 June, 2013 at 0:56 |
Flagstone Patios In Denver  For a stone to be called flagstone, it should have a porous finish to
make it suitable for foot walk traction. It usually comes in a variety
of shapes and cuts so that it offers a more authentic “outdoorsy”
experience than regular paving stones. Large slabs are used for paths,
while the smaller pieces are sold as “steppers”. Sometimes flagstone may come squares if
it is to be used for a patio. This all raises the question: is flagstone the right choice for your
outdoor living experience? The charm of flagstone is that it goes with
practically exterior architecture and landscaping. One drawback is that
flagstone markets tend to be regional, which means that if you want your
project to be reasonably priced, you have choices with whatever comes
within 500 miles radius. The choices available might not be your
preferred colors.  If you should choose flagstone for your next project, you must
examine the quality of the stone. The surface of the stone should be
flat, to hinder water and ice from making it crack. Also, you should
shoot for a stone that is around 2 inches thick, or more if you can find
it. One final consideration. proper installation of flagstone is
essential to the longevity of its use. A certain amount of unevenness in
the stones is considered a feature in hardscaping, but if they are too
uneven they can break. |
