Some Pictures of Flagstone Patios

"For flagstone patios, I totally recommend your video. It helped me do my 600 sq. foot patio"

From gathering more pictures, I thought it would be a good idea to show some examples of patios.

I'll be showing more photos as I get them.

Whenever you decide to install a patio out of flagstone, here are some issues to consider.

You need to decide whether you want the stone to be irregular or pre-cut from a stone yard.

The flagstone picture above is irregular or natural stone as it comes out of the quarry.

The stone above and below are both Colorado Red Flagstone.

Next is a picture of New Mexican Buff Stone.

Or you could use Pennsylvanian Blue Stone. We don't see too much of that here in Colorado where we are at.

If you want more of a square look on your patio, then you can get them pre-cut at a stoneyard.

It will cost more money, but you will have fewer cuts to deal with when laying down.

The picture below, you can see how to change the squares around in order to get an interesting diamond look.

It matches real well with the brick all around it.

Here is a patio laid with Bluestone or Slate pre-cut at a stoneyard. We got this picture from an e-mail.

Flagstone patios can be laid in either sand or concrete.

The reasons are too numerous here. I'll save that for another article.

Sand Patios tend to settle a little bit over the years. Grass will grow between the joints.

Concrete patios will not settle and the joints generally stay smooth, but not always. Often you can get cracks with concrete joints.

One last tip I'd like to point out which was published in The Flagstone Times.

Concrete decorations look great with stone patios. Make sure to buy them at a local stone and concrete statuary. You can look that up in your local yellow pages.

You save so much more money than at a nursery or hardware store. I've seen the prices 5 or 6 times higher than at a concrete statuary.

You can see Buddha resting nicely on the stone.

We would love to have any pictures of flagstone patios to post here on the site. It is a great way to show off your hard work and help others with any ideas they might have.
