Dry Laid Flagstone Patio...

[Mbella]

It's a simple job from a few years ago. I am curious what you guys think of the quality of the flagstone as best you can tell from the pics. The spots that appear on the flagstone are rain drops.

BTW, we didn't install the fence.

Beautiful stone work, nice curves as well. It must of cost a fortune for sq. cut flagstone. I did a job with the same material about 3 yrs ago, I must stop by and take some pics.

Looks good mike - I think it would be cool to put a brick border on it. The quality is there as always, I'm just not a fan of patios w/o borders. JMO.

I didn't ask you what you thought about the border. I asked what you thought about the quality of the FLAGSTONE!:yell::yell::)

[cgland]

You couldn't have asked me about the border, BECAUSE THERE ISN'T ONE!!!!!!
The quality of the flag looks amazing.

Please tell me those stairs where there when you got there!

Nope. We built the steps. Like I said, it was a simple job.

Matt, was is your opinion on the quality of the flagstone as best you can tell from the pics.

[mrusk]

What do i think of the stone itself?!!?! I am not geologist, so i do not know how good it is!


Its looks like nice stone if ya like the color!.

I would of added a border though.

[HRLand]

I'm not sure that's natural stone. Something about the color maybe. It does look good though.

[mrusk]

I think its fake too. Looks like that fakes tuff called blue mountain stone made by keneddy concrete out of kentucey.

You are correct. That is Blue Mountain Stone.

[mrusk]

You are correct. That is Blue Mountain Stone.

I so regret using the fake blue stone by the manufacture i do not want to mention instead of that stuff.

It's about the nicest I have seen.

[CaptainsLS]

Why?!?!? Why would you go through all that trouble to replicate what you could have used from the beginning? What does that stuff cost? Pattern greystone like that is $5.50 sq my price.

[Mbella]

Captain, is that price for natural or thermal?

[CaptainsLS]

Blue Full Color natural cleft sawn edges: $5.20
Blue Select color natural cleft sawn edges: $7.20
Bluestone Thermal top sawn edges: $10.50
Greystone Thermal top sawn edges: $7.50
RETAIL PRICING, mine is about 30% off that

Maybe, that's why I posted "from the pics."

Is the flagstone in your pics natural, or manufactured?

[Mbella]

Blue Full Color natural cleft sawn edges: $5.20
Blue Select color natural cleft sawn edges: $7.20
Bluestone Thermal top sawn edges: $10.50
Greystone Thermal top sawn edges: $7.50

Captain, are all the pieces of the stone you would have used, instead of the manufactured, a consistent thickness?

[CaptainsLS]

The thermal, yes. We screed sand and lay like pavers. The other stones do have a variance, so I see your point.

Yeah, labor, that's where it is.
