What is flagstone?

Flagstone (also simply known as 'flag') is natural stone quarried into flat slabs. Flagstone is usually used for paving slabs or walkways, and patios. Typical flagstone has a smooth surface with variegated colors in are red, blue, and buff. 

Pallets of flagstone contain stone that vary in size from dinner plate size to the size of a garbage can lid and everything in between

 
 

Thick Flagstone

Thick flagstone is irregularly shaped, 2" to 3" thick, smooth surfaced stone with variegated swirls of color. Mostly used to provide a little bit stronger load-bearing surface, such as high traffic walkways.

Medium Flagstone 

Medium flagstone is irregularly shaped, 1" to 2" thick. Most commonly used for patios and walkways either with or without a bed of mortar. It is also used as coping around ponds. If you plan to use it for a patio you will need about 16 to 18 lbs per square foot of patio.

STAIR TREADS

Flagstone stair treads are cut on a stone breaker from large slabs. The treads range from 2 1/2 feet to 3 feet in length and 18" wide. The riser dimensions vary slightly from 5" to 6". Each slab weighs from 280-310 lbs. so you will probably need to use a little Egyptian technology to set these stairs in place.
