Flagstone is a naturally split, sedimentary stone sold in flat, irregular slabs. Homeowners often use it for walkways, patios, pool decks, and even driveways because the coarse surface adds traction and withstands weather swings. Common varieties include sandstone, slate, and quartzite, each offering its own color palette. You can leave the pieces irregular for a rustic look or cut them into uniform shapes for a cleaner design, giving flagstone plenty of flexibility without sacrificing durability.

How should you clean flagstone patios?

Regular upkeep is simple. Sweep away leaves and grit each week, pull any weeds that sprout between stones, and hose down the surface when dust builds up. For oily spills, apply an oil-absorbing product immediately to avoid stains. Re-seal the patio every three to four years with a breathable, matte sealant to guard against weather damage and keep traction high.

Is flagstone more expensive than pavers?

Flagstone usually costs more than concrete or brick pavers because it’s a quarried, natural stone that requires extra handling and transport. The higher price buys you distinctive color variations, a non-slip texture, and exceptional longevity—advantages many homeowners find worth the extra expense for high-visibility areas like patios, pool decks, and front walkways.

Should I seal my flagstone?

Sealing is the simplest way to protect flagstone from stains, freeze–thaw cycles, and daily wear. Choose a breathable, matte product that preserves the stone’s texture and keeps the surface from becoming slippery. Plan to clean the patio thoroughly, let it dry, and re-seal every three to four years—or more often around saltwater pools—to keep the color consistent and extend the stone’s life.

"Did a great job from hiring landscape architect, responding to HOA comments and getting the yard graded, sod, and plantings. Their associated company installed the irrigation system and did a great job. Mark did a great job in listening and giving us what we wanted."

"Worked with John and his crew a few years ago in 2012. Spent a significant amount of money on a paver patio with Kichler LED lights. The lights were expensive and under warranty for 15-years. I was told personally by John that *if they ever fail, just call and we will be over to replace them*. In March of 2018 I called and reported a light that was failing. John told me to put a piece of blue painters tape on it and that although they were busy, would be over as soon as they could. Over the next few months I followed-up with him as the light then completely failed. He guaranteed me that the light is still covered under the Kichler warranty but that they have been so busy that they have not been able to be out to replace. I asked if he would at least be able to get to it before the snow flies in 2018 as it was already October, and he said *yes, just give me your cell phone number again*. Never heard from him or his crew. In March of 2019 I started contacting him again as the blue painters tape is still on the failed light. I tried texting his cell phone and left him 2-3 messages on his answering machine at the main number of his office. It is May 22, 2019, and he has yet to even acknowledge that I called him or have an open issue. Finally, this past weekend I reached out to his vendor that he used to purchase my Kichler lights from, and they honored the warranty. I ended up pulling and replacing the light myself, but the light was at least replaced at no unit cost. While the crew was here and working they did a nice job. I paid for many lunches for them and treated his crew with absolute respect. I even left a cooler full of drinks out in the yard each day before I left for work for the crew as the summer was brutal that year. I opened my yard and patio up for any number of people that he wanted to bring over to show as a reference for sales that he was working on. This is the respect and courtesy I got in return. Very poor professionalism on Johns part. He knows better than to behave like this. He literally ignores the calls. Did not even bother to call me back and say, *sorry, been beyond busy, but we did not forget you*. Even though it has been 14-months and you would think that even the busiest teams would have found time to work in a light repair, I could have been given the courtesy of a reply. Very poor, John!"

"I hired this gentlman 3 years ago to do my tuck pointing aroung my house , chimmey work and to redo my front proch stoop that had to be rebuilt. It was $5300.00 for the job . It took 2 days to complete. The front proch is now breaking up in small areas. I talked to ruscil about 2 monthes ago and texted the pics to him , told me he would come and look at and he never did. I made a complaint to the BBB , they closed it out due to no response. My next step is to take him to small claims court. I am doing that by beg of next month. I work so it is hard for me to get to the court in the m-f to them. I just wanted him to fix this. I dont think this was a hard request given the amount of money that I spent on this."

Please read our reviews as a preview to the type of customer service and help you will receive as you make your decisions in regards to your landscaping and lawn care needs. Thank you again.

"Kirk was great!! He listened to what my wife and I were saying and responded very well. We wanted old overgrown shrubs to be removed and replaced with shrubs that would not require much upkeep and trimming. He told us about evergreens that have various hues and sizes. He planted seven shrubs, there are three different hues and one shrub that will grow taller. Then put stone down as dressing for the bed. We could not be happier. A neighbor hired him to work on her landscape after she saw his work. Kirk and Rob were great!!!"
