Stone has been used in construction for centuries due to its strength, durability, and timeless beauty. Today, stone installation is a popular choice for both interior and exterior applications, from walls and fireplaces to patios and walkways. With many types and styles available, stone adds an element of sophistication and natural appeal to any space. However, proper installation is key to ensuring a long-lasting, aesthetically pleasing result.
Then, for the dry-laid option, we fill the base with gravel or crushed limestone to create a solid foundation, adding a layer of sand on top. Once the base is ready, we lay the stones, firmly tapping each piece into place with a rubber hammer.
Another option is a concrete base. Concrete base is poured and leveled after the excavation is completed. After that the flagstone is installed on mortar and the joints are finished.
Next, our technicians get down to filling the joints between the flagstones. We use sand, mortar, or a mixture of both, depending on your choice. While sand is renowned for its excellent drainage properties, mortar provides a more durable surface.
You can also choose to apply sealer to your flagstone walkway or patio. This protects the stones and the joint material from the elements, helping maintain the beautiful color of natural stone.
