As a true product of nature, flagstone comes in a million different shapes, sizes, and colors depending on where it comes from. This incredible diversity helps homeowners like you create hardscapes that are truly unique.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>Different flagstones don&#8217;t only look different, though. They also have varying thicknesses, textures, levels of permeability, and uses. These durable, versatile unsung heroes of landscaping can be a part of just about any hardscape you could think of. <\/p>    <p>To help you narrow down the possibilities, we&#8217;ve come up with eight flagstone ideas to incorporate in your yard.<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is flagstone?<\/h2>    <p>Natural flagstone is sedimentary rock broken up into layers and used for landscaping. There are many different <a href=\"https:\/\/www.landscapingnetwork.com\/flagstone\/compare.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">types of flagstone<\/a>, all with their own features. Some popular varieties include sandstone, quartzite, bluestone, and limestone.<\/p>    <p>Most flagstones come in one of two shapes:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Cut <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/landscaping\/how-to-landscape-with-pavers\/\">paver stones<\/a> <\/strong>in different-sized rectangles with straight edges and clean lines.<\/li>    <li><strong>Irregular, roundish stones<\/strong> used for &#8220;crazy paving,&#8221; which means fitting those random shapes together for an informal, natural look.&nbsp;<\/li> <\/ul>    <p>For either shape option, you can lay flagstones dry on a bed of sand or gravel (&#8220;dry-laid&#8221;) or use concrete (&#8220;wet-laid&#8221;). If you&#8217;re using thinner flagstones, it&#8217;s a good idea to lay them in concrete, as they sometimes crack easily when laid dry.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>Whatever kind of landscaping project you&#8217;re working on, the cost of flagstone is typically $15 to $20 per square foot. That price covers all the materials needed, including the stone itself and sand, gravel, or concrete.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>The price varies depending on what specific type of flagstone you use and whether it&#8217;s dry-laid or wet-laid. Dry-laid is typically cheaper because you won&#8217;t have to pay for concrete.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8 Ways to Use Flagstone in Your Landscaping<\/h2>    <p>Now that we&#8217;ve covered the basics of flagstone, let&#8217;s get into our eight design ideas for using them in your landscape.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Design a unique flagstone patio<\/h3>    <figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-40-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Flagstone patio in geometric shapes (squares and rectangles), brown\/gray color.\" class=\"wp-image-23554\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-40-768x1023.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-40-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-40-113x150.jpeg 113w, https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-40.jpeg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">geometric-shape-flagstone-patio<\/figcaption><\/figure>    <p>With flagstones, you can design your own patio to fit any home or landscape style. Use geometric shapes like those pictured above for a more formal look or irregular flagstones if you have a more eccentric flagstone patio idea. <\/p>    <p>Flagstones are perfect for high-traffic areas like patios because their rough texture makes them slip-resistant.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>You can easily turn your flagstone patio into an outdoor living space by adding some patio furniture and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/landscaping\/pergola-kits\/\">pergola<\/a> or other cover.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

If you want a storybook forest path winding through your garden, use irregular flagstones interspersed with grass or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/landscaping\/best-ground-cover-plants\/\">ground cover plants<\/a>. <\/p>    <p>If small children, elderly relatives, or other tripping-prone guests regularly frequent your house, you can create a smooth, straight sidewalk of flagstone pavers instead.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>As with flagstone patios, flagstone pathways are naturally slip-resistant because of the stone&#8217;s texture, so you won&#8217;t have to worry about your paths getting slick with rainwater.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Get creative with stepping stones<\/h3>    <figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-42-683x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"A row of gray flagstone stepping stones marks a path along the side of a building\" class=\"wp-image-23556\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-42-683x1024.jpeg 683w, https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-42-200x300.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-42-100x150.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-42-768x1151.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-42.jpeg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/MFyLGd44V8E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>    <p>To make stepping stones, space your flagstones several inches apart and fill the gaps with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/landscaping\/how-to-landscape-with-pea-gravel\/\">pea gravel<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/landscaping\/how-to-landscape-with-river-rock\/\">river rock<\/a>, or ground cover plants to suppress weeds. You can use pavers for a more modern look like this one or irregular flagstones for a cottage-style garden path.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>Laying stepping stones will typically be cheaper than installing a traditional path, since you&#8217;re using less stone to cover the same amount of space. Aside from being cheaper, stepping stones are also more whimsical and adventurous.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Build a retaining wall using flagstones&nbsp;<\/h3>    <figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-43.jpeg\" alt=\"A retaining wall of flagstone along a hillside with stairs and a walkway in the center\" class=\"wp-image-23557\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-43.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-43-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-43-150x113.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-43-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/89701436@N00\/328684979\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mccready<\/a> \/ Flickr \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CC BY 2.0<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>    <p>Though people might not typically use flagstones as stone for retaining walls, it is an option. You can stack flagstones to create a low wall in your landscape. Just don&#8217;t try stacking them too tall. You know what happened to Icarus when he flew too close to the sun.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>When you make a retaining wall out of flagstones, you can either stack them dry or use mortar to hold them together. For a sturdier, more long-lasting wall, you should definitely consider using mortar (even though it might make your project a little more expensive).&nbsp;<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.

Again, you can achieve different looks for your garden or flower bed using different types of flagstones.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>Pavers will make your landscape look more geometric and modern, while irregular flagstones (like the ones pictured) offer a wilder, more natural aesthetic. Since flagstones come in all different colors, you can find the perfect ones to match or contrast the colors of your plants.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Add a rustic border around your water feature<\/h3>    <figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-45.jpeg\" alt=\"Flagstone lines the sides of a water feature that looks to be a fountain.\" class=\"wp-image-23559\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-45.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-45-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-45-150x84.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-45-768x432.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/pxhere.com\/en\/photo\/1237464\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pxhere<\/a>&nbsp;<\/figcaption><\/figure>    <p>Flagstones are heavy enough to hold down liners for ponds and other similar water features, so they make great borders. Some types of flagstone are also permeable, which means they&#8217;ll absorb water instead of causing runoff if they get wet from your pond, waterfall, or fountain overflowing.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>With flagstone pavers, you can create a straight, clean edge for a contemporary aesthetic, or go with irregular flagstones for a reliable border that blends in with a natural-style pond.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.

It&#8217;s also usually more expensive to install, whether you use a pro or do it yourself.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the cheapest flagstone?<\/h3>    <p>Limestone and sandstone are typically the cheapest flagstones. Locally sourced stone will always be cheaper than stone shipped from far away, so visit a local stone yard to find the most affordable options in your area.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you lay flagstone directly in soil?<\/h3>    <p>You can lay thick, heavy pieces of flagstone directly in soil, and they should be fine.

A pro can also help you come up with more unique landscaping ideas for using flagstone in your yard.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>If you use a landscaping professional instead of going the DIY route, you can rest assured that your flagstones will be laid correctly so they can enhance your landscape for years to come.<\/p>    <p>Main Photo Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/pxhere.com\/en\/photo\/76332\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pxhere<\/a> <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just like snowflakes, no two flagstones are the same.
