Why choose Natural Stone

There are many themes and For a natural, rustic, or warm feel on your patio, walkway, or other hardscape, nothing beats natural stone. We have done hundreds of hardscapes from patios to fireplaces, and many of them have been beautiful natural stone. Not only does natural stone have a beautiful organic pattern and shape, but it is extremely durable, and the color never fades! If your natural stone looks a little dull, a quick spray with a pressure washer will reveal the original color! Also, unlike other materials, you don’t have any regular maintenance with it. Natural stone is durable, beautiful, rustic, low-maintenance, versatile, and perfect for any space you need!

Types of Natural Stone

There are several types of natural stone you can choose in order to find the precise color and feel you need for your outdoor space. For a traditional southern feel, a mix of gray and tan Flagstone may be your best fit. If you seek a more rich blue color, Pennsylvania Blue stone could be right for you. Or, if you are a into more red to brown color palate, Crab Orchard stone will suit your space nicely.

Flagstone

There is a typical kind of stone we use called flagstone, and this primarily comes in tan and gray. A large portion of the natural stone surfaces you will see are made from this material. It is irregular, natural, and conveys a very rustic and relaxed feeling, while also maintaining an upscale impression. It’s easy to walk on, and makes for great patios, walkways, and retaining walls. Flagstone needs proper installation to maintain its integrity, as installing it wrong means a very short lifespan for your patio or walkway. We install our Flagstone carefully using consistent mortar joints, as well as layers of concrete and gravel underneath to make the Flagstone patios for our customers as durable as posible.

Pennsylvania Blue Stone

Another variety of natural stone is Pennsylvania blue stone. It’s similar in size and texture to flagstone, with a slightly smoother finish. It has a gray to blue hue(with reddish pieces here and there) which makes for a whole new color palate while maintaining the same general feeling. For a more formal tone, it could be cut into square or rectangle shapes to create sharp edges and regular patterns that exude a high-class and upscale feeling.

Whether you’re looking for a formal and regular pattern, or an organic and irregular feel, natural stone is always a stellar option for your patio or walkway. From Flagstone, to Pennsylvania, to anything in between, Natural stone(when done right) is a durable and comfortable option for your next hard surface.
