"In addition to laying out stone work for our front and back yards, Jed and his crew also did a lot of landscaping--removing lots of shrubs and other existing plants and putting in all new plants and trees. We had him rework stone work in the front yard and put in a stone patio and walk ways as well as a drip irrigation system in the back yard. It all came out so beautifully. We provided the overall design, Jed make several very good suggestions that we incorporated. We did most of the plant selection and he worked on getting the best prices for the majority of the plants. His crew were all very hard working, polite, professional, neat and respectful of our property. They worked fast and efficiently with a high level of quality to their work. The end result is FANTASTIC. We love how the yards look now and once all the plants are fully grown, it's going to be really lush--with a good number of the plants being drought resistant. I will say that Jed/Eco Concepts is in high demand. He was able to work our relatively small project in between much larger projects, which was fine by us as we really wanted him to do the job based on the reviews we read of his work. We were willing to wait til he had an opening and it was well worth the wait. Jed is a really nice guy, very easy to work with, has good contacts and resources for materials. I highly recommend Eco Concepts for landscaping and stone work."

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.
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.
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.
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.
