Whether used for a garden path or a back patio, flagstone lends a natural look to outdoor spaces. Looks aside, flagstone endures all sorts of climate conditions, though it may get a little warm underfoot during the sunny seasons. For the most part, flagstone offers a low-maintenance option for outdoor spaces — with just a little regular care and cleaning, outdoor flagstones can last for centuries.
All flagstone is subject to water stains, particularly in areas where the water supply is alkaline or contains minerals. Stains are unavoidable in outdoor living spaces devoted to cooking and dining. For this reason, all new flagstone paving should be sealed upon completion.
