Why Are Flagstone Patios Such a Popular Home Improvement Investment?

While the rugged beauty of stone masonry has contributed to the architectural charm of local properties for centuries, stone patios have really come into their own over the last hundred years. Flagstone patios in particular are extremely popular, and for good reason.

What Is Flagstone?

Flagstone is a flat stone that can serve a variety of purposes, but typically finds a home in walkways, outdoor walls, fireplaces, stairways, and, of course, patios. Because of the numerous colors, shapes, sizes, and textures that are available, it can be a stunning addition to your property.

Why Invest in a Flagstone Patio?

Here are a few primary reasons to consider:

• Patios are a low-maintenance alternative to a deck

• Flagstone’s unique aesthetic qualities add personality to any outdoor space

• It is durable for high traffic areas, slip resistant, and drainage-friendly

• Blends well with a variety of landscaping styles

• Fades only slightly over time

• Because of its popularity, a flagstone patio adds tangible value to your home

As we step into the spring and summer seasons, you’re likely already considering the daily benefits of adding a functional outdoor space to your home. Giving yourself the gift of being able to fully enjoy this space is an investment worth making.
