We concluded a few days ago after some conversation between my Guatemalan helpers(trying to translate the word to Spanish ), the home owner and myself that the word "Flagstone" could simply be a perversion the words "Flat stone". This makes alot of sense....
I was thinking about adding some Flagstone Pavers next to my driveway. Do you know if Lowe's sells Flagstone Pavers?
I need a sidewalk from my porch to the street. Can it be made from flagstone pavers?
My garden needs a new stone path. Where can I find cheap flagstone pavers?
yes
No, flagstone is a type of sedimentary rock, but it is not a clastic sedimentary rock. Flagstone is generally composed of layers of compacted and cemented material like sandstone or limestone, and often used for landscaping or as a building material.
Flagstone can be found at landscaping supply stores, home improvement stores, or specialty stone suppliers. You can also check online marketplaces or contact local quarries that specialize in natural stone products.

Yes, flagstone can be used for a fire pit as long as it is a heat-resistant material like sandstone or quartzite. It's important to ensure the flagstone is at least 2 inches thick to withstand the heat from the fire and to leave enough room for expansion joints to prevent cracking. A concrete base underneath the flagstone can also help with fire pit durability.
Examples of naturally occurring flagstone are Arizona flagstone, quarried from the Coconino and Prescott National Forests, and Pennsylvania Bluestone, found only in northeastern Pennsylvania, northern New Jersey, and southern New York. These rocks are flat and often used as walkway and paving stones.

Using bleach (Chlorox) to clean concrete on flagstone is not recommended as it can cause discoloration and damage to both the concrete and flagstone surfaces. It is better to use a mild detergent or specialized stone cleaner along with a scrub brush or pressure washer to safely clean the surfaces without causing harm.
