The Beauty of Real Stone
There's nothing quite like natural stone. Each piece is different, with its own colors, patterns, and textures. No two natural stone patios look exactly alike. That's what makes them special.
Natural stone has been used for building for thousands of years. Ancient buildings made of stone are still standing today. When you choose natural stone for your patio, you're choosing a material that will last for generations.
Types of Natural Stone
Flagstone: Flat, thin pieces of stone that fit together like a puzzle. Flagstone comes in many colors, from gray to brown to red. It's one of the most popular choices for patios.
Fieldstone: Irregular stones found naturally in fields and forests. Fieldstone has a rustic look that fits well with natural landscapes and country homes.
Bluestone: A type of flagstone with a blue-gray color. Very popular in New England. It looks especially nice near the ocean.
Granite: One of the hardest natural stones. Granite is extremely durable and comes in colors from pink to gray to almost black.
Slate: A fine-grained stone that splits into thin, flat pieces. Slate has a smooth surface and comes in gray, green, and purple shades.

Installation Takes Skill
Because each stone is different, laying a natural stone patio is like putting together a puzzle. Our installers have years of experience fitting stones together so they look right and lie flat.
We start with a solid base of crushed stone. Then we set each piece by hand, choosing stones that fit together well. Finally, we fill the joints with sand or gravel. Some customers prefer to have plants grow between the stones for a more natural look.
