Guidelines for a Proper Flagstone Installation

Flagstone is a very popular paving and landscaping material in Tucson. It is commonly used for walkways, exterior stairways, patios and pool decks. Since it is so popular, there are many contractors, masons, handymen, and laborers that will install it. However, not all installations turn out well, and the quality depends on the skill of the installer. Here are some things to look for/ask to ensure a high quality and aesthetic flagstone installation.

  • All the pieces are roughly the same size and have rounded edges. Flagstone that is scored and broken will usually have sharp jagged corners. Flagstone that is cut with a cutting tool will have smooth rounded edges and corners.
  • All the pieces need to be level. Since some flagstone pieces are thicker than others, the flagstone installation needs to sit on top of a bed of sand and the thicker pieces need to have sand removed underneath in order to be level with the thinner pieces.
  • The gap between the flagstone pieces needs to be uniform. The pieces need to be cut and laid out in such a way that the gap stays uniform. This is where most of the skill of the installer comes in.
  • The mortar in the gaps needs to be level with the flagstone and smooth with a slight indentation towards the middle. Masonry tools and a float are used to achieve this effect.
  • The edges of the flagstone installation need to be smoothly lined with mortar to prevent degradation.
  • If desired, the flagstone can then be sealed for a more aesthetic look.

The homeowner can either see the installers other flagstone jobs or agree that the above will be done for the installation.
