Flagstone
Flagstone is defined as thin slabs of stone used for paving walks, driveways, garden sitting areas, etc. Flagstone is a natural rock that is sold in irregular shapes and various thicknesses and colors. The rock is mined in all parts of the world. It is generally fine-grained sandstone, bluestone, quartzite, or slate, but thin slabs of other stones may be used. Real flagstone is the result of sand that has been compressed over thousands of years. It has a rough, porous texture that feels like sandpaper, and it comes in shades of pink and red. Flagstone walkway and decks have become increasingly popular as more homeowners want their backyards to become lush, intimate spaces.
