Flagstone Repair & Installation in Toronto

Flagstone Installation Process

Each flagstone project starts with site preparation. Our technicians remove old paving, grass, and plants and excavate the area to a proper depth, ensuring that the finished flagstone patio or walkway will be properly graded with the surrounding yard.

Then, for the dry-laid option, we fill the base with gravel or crushed limestone to create a solid foundation, adding a layer of sand on top. Once the base is ready, we lay the stones, firmly tapping each piece into place with a rubber hammer.

Another option is a concrete base. Concrete base is poured and leveled after the excavation is completed. After that the flagstone is installed on mortar and the joints are finished.

Next, our technicians get down to filling the joints between the flagstones. We use sand, mortar, or a mixture of both, depending on your choice. While sand is renowned for its excellent drainage properties, mortar provides a more durable surface.

You can also choose to apply sealer to your flagstone walkway or patio. This protects the stones and the joint material from the elements, helping maintain the beautiful color of natural stone.

In addition to flagstone installation, we provide landscape design services and can add landscaping around your flagstone walkway or patio. Plants, shrubs, or gravel can substantially enhance your outdoor space. Get in touch with us to get a free estimate and discuss your project details.

Flagstone Types

Natural stone comes in various types, including slate, sandstone, basalt, limestone, quartzite, travertine, and bluestone, among the most popular options. Speaking of the shape, there are two types: random flagstone and square cut flagstone.

Flagstone Walkway

A flagstone walkway is a beautiful addition to any property, immediately enhancing the curb appeal. You might want to install a random flagstone walkway if you’re looking to inject some rustic charm into your outdoor space or go the square cut route for a sleek, modern look.

Pros and Cons of Flagstone

In addition to looking beautiful, natural stone offers other benefits, too. First, flagstones are highly durable and long-lasting — with proper maintenance, they can stay intact for centuries. A flagstone walkway or patio can withstand extreme temperatures without giving signs of wear and tear.

Moreover, a natural stone surface is relatively easy to maintain — occasional sweeping and spraying a flagstone patio or walkway usually suffices, while sand deposits, stains or mold can be effortlessly removed with water.

On the downside, you should expect your flagstone patio or walkway to get hot in the heat and cold in subzero temperatures.
