Flagstone is one of the most durable stones that nature has to offer.
Using Flagstone in your hardscaping is one of the best ways to make it look natural. These flat stones look rustic and look like they were made by hand. With the wide range of modern and old-fashioned ways to cut flagstones, you can show off your style and taste.
Flagstone, a sedimentary rock, is the softest and easiest to shape with a tool. Stones considered flagstones are sandstone, limestone and shale. These are the softest of the flagstone family. Igneous rocks like granite and basalt are harder, and metamorphic rocks like quartzite and marble are the hardest types of Flagstone.
It’s no secret that historic buildings are important, but why?
Historic buildings are important because they represent a specific place and time. They make us feel like we’re stepping back in time when we visit them – whether that’s a castle or a museum.
Historic buildings provide insight into the past and can help us learn about our ancestors’ lives. In addition to being educational, restoring historic buildings boosts the economy by creating jobs for architects, contractors, builders and more!
These building were typically made out either brick or stone or in most cases both. Replacing bricks or stone is usually necessary. It’s important of course to match the brick replacement with exact match bricks so that original look is maintained whenever possible.
