Flagstone patios in austin and Bastrop, Texas. Gardens by Rock N Gardens full service landscape company

Patios and walkways are the core of the garden. A
well laid patio provides a beautiful environment for
entertaining or lounging around. A well placed
walkway adds maneuverability to your garden, and it
protects your plantings from getting trampled by
people walking through your yard.

Flagstone is the material usually selected for this
application. There are several different types of
flagstone, and selecting one is only limited by taste
and budget. Limestone is the most commonly used
flagstone used in Texas, but stone yards offer a
wide variety of sandstones and sedimentary stones in
hundreds of beautiful colors.

When choosing the stone for your project we
suggests meeting with your mason at the stone yard
to pick the stone that best fits in your vision, or have
samples of possible stones brought to your home
for review. This eliminates any confusion as to which
type of stone you desired. It also may open new
possibilities that you may not have been aware of.

Flagstone can be installed using different methods.
Laying the stones in a bed of decomposed granite is
the most cost effective way, and doesn't take away
from your impervious coverage square footage.
Pouring a concrete slab with re bar or mesh wire as a
foundation, and then mortaring the stones on top, is
the most permanent method. This, of course, is also
the most expensive.

All the methods are acceptable, and are installed
every day in Austin. Choosing the one that is right
for you is only a phone call away. Contact
