Top 4 flagstone landscaping questions and answers

When it comes to durability, ease of installation, and simple maintenance, few materials are more ideal for patios and walkways than Flagstone.

ME Landscaping has been the premier outdoor construction & landscaping company in the Greater Toronto Area since 2002, and has designed and installed hundreds of Flagstone landscaping projects during that time.

Here are the top four questions we’re asked about Flagstone landscaping:

  1. What is Flagstone? Flagstone is a generic flat stone made from different minerals that is a popular landscaping material used for patios, paving slabs or walkways, fences and roofing. It also is used for sculptural projects, memorials, headstones, facades and other construction projects.
  2. What are the benefits of Flagstone? Flagstone was once used for high-end patios where budget wasn’t an issue. But thanks to extraction techniques that have made this stone more readily available, the cost has dropped. Naturally beautiful, Flagstone is easy to maintain, and has a no-slip surface which makes it easy to walk on. Because it comes in a wide variety of shapes, colours, and thicknesses, Flagstone can blend in with any outdoor décor or architectural style. Fixing a Flagstone patio or walkway is simple, as the damaged stone can be removed and replaced very quickly and with minimal effort.
  3. What types of Flagstone are there? There are many types of stone used for Flagstone landscaping: Blue Flagstone is pure granite that is cut out in giant blocks, leaving a slightly rough surface that makes it look more like natural rock; Arizona Flagstone has a colour that ranges from a very deep brown-red to a shimmering tan, and in this case is cut to have a more flat appearance; Slate is another kind of Flagstone and is a blue stone with a flatter, smoother look; and Limestone and Sandstone are perhaps two of the most common and widely available kinds of stone used for Flagstone landscaping projects.
  4. How do I clean my Flagstone patio? A Flagstone patio or walkway will accumulate dirt, grime, and other debris that needs to be washed away.

Dont get it wrong, there are literally hundreds of questions one can ask about landscaping projects and flagstones in particular but regardless of your landscaping project ideas or intentions, if you live within the greater Toronto area and you’re looking for flagstone or other hardscape materials to use, why dont you call us for a free, no-obligation consultation?

Do you need Interlocking pavers?

When your sidewalk, driveway, or other paved areas of your home or business begins to crumble, gets run with weeds or grass, or is harmed by the environment, it may be time to look into a new concrete or a paved surface from M.E. Landscaping, the number one company in the Greater Toronto Area for landscaping, outdoor construction, and interlocking pavers for business, industrial, and residential customers.

For more than a decade, the installation and design experts at M.E. Landscaping have offered unique and affordable solutions for any paving or concrete project needed, and work tirelessly to meet the customer’s goals, style, and budget. The company has built its reputation by exceeding expectations for hundreds of satisfied clients in Aurora, Markham, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, and surrounding communities, unwavering in its promise to providing industry leading workmanship, customer service, and round the clock support 365 days a year.

One way many home and business owners have added style and value to their property is by using interlocking pavers rather than concrete or asphalt. M.E. Landscaping has the most highly trained and certified professionals on staff, and is well known for its affordable interlocking services and patio design projects.

When discussing interlocking pavers with customers, we always make sure to promote the benefits of pavers over other surfacing materials, such as:

  • Interlocking Pavers are highly durable. When installed properly, they will not chip, crack, flake, expand or shrink, and are extremely flexible – a key advantage in Canada where extreme weather results in a cycle of freezing and thawing of the ground. Pavers are strong, dense, and have the ability to withstand pressure from severe loads such as cars and trucks.
  • Low repair costs. If a solid surface made of concrete is cracked, a large section will have to be replaced, but with an interlocking paver it’s simply a matter of removing the damaged one and replacing it with a new paver. Thanks to low maintenance and replacement costs, pavers last for decades and are an economical alternative to other types of surfacing like concrete or asphalt.
  • In extreme weather conditions, an asphalt surface, for instance, will crack and require regular maintenance, but interlocking pavers are durable, easy to clean, and prohibit the growth of weeds.
  • Interlocking Pavers are visually appealing and come in hundreds of colours, finishes, shapes, and sizes – meaning the expert designers at M.E. Landscaping can easily match new pavers with existing landscaping or architectural features.

With hundreds of satisfied customers in Richmond Hill, Thornhill, Vaughan, Maples, and Markham, M.E. Landscaping has been the premier outdoors company in the Greater Toronto Area for more than 10 years. Thanks to cutting edge patio design and construction services, the company excels in a wide variety of outdoor and home improvement projects like traditional landscaping, interlocking pavers, decks, gates, surfacing, pergolas, patios, and railing systems. The company backs each project with a 100 percent customer satisfaction guarantee, reaffirming its commitment to delivering quality projects at affordable prices.

Enhance Your Outdoor Living With Great Patio Design

A well thought out patio design can add utility and beauty to any outdoor living space and, if implemented correctly, can increase the value of your home and provide years of pleasure for gatherings for family and friends.

Traditional patios are built at ground level, and are typically constructed of stone, concrete, or pavers – each with an array of colours, textures, and finishes to choose from. These materials offer many benefits over wood, such as unique shapes, textures, colors, and sizes. A truly innovative patio design offers flexibility not possible with a wood deck, like irregular shapes and curves that could meander gently through a flower bed before blending into green space off your great room.

If you live in the greater Toronto area and you’re in the market for a beautiful, functional, and long lasting deck or patio, the number one landscaping and outdoor construction company in the Greater Toronto Area is M.E. Landscaping. We’ve designed and built hundreds of patios over the years, each one crafted to exacting standards by a company well known for customer service, value, and truly innovative designs.

Whether you’re interested in a patio design that features stamped concrete, acid stained concrete, pavers, tiles, or flagstone, our staff can surely find something to match whatever style you have in mind.

Take a look at some of our patio design ideas:

  • Stamped concrete – Stamped concrete is now available in more colors than ever before and with nearly any look you can imagine. Our expert installers can install stamped concrete to mimic the appearance of cobblestone, tile, river rock, or even wood. With the right additive, we can even make stamped concrete sparkle like diamonds.
  • Acid stained concrete – This is a wonderful patio design option that takes an existing concrete patio and adds a touch of style by acid staining the surface.
  • Pavers – Pavers are one of the most versatile and interesting patio design options you can choose. Many colors and styles are available, and pavers are stronger than concrete, easy to repair, and movable.
  • Tiles – Many of our customers also consider tiles as a patio design option. A traditional concrete slab patio can be enhanced with tiles laid directly on top in different colours, shapes, and textures.
  • Flagstone – Finally, another patio material gaining in popularity is Flagstone, but these tiles are extremely bulky, heavy, and difficult to manage. M.E. Landscaping offers one of two installation options: Wet installation, where the tiles are laid in concrete mortar and grouted with mortar, or Dry installation, where they are laid in gravel or sand and grouted with the same material. The advantage of the dry installation is the patio ends up with a more rugged look, is easier to repair, and could even be moved.

Whatever way you think of going in regards to your patio design, it is safe to say that your first stop would be to give us a call and invite us to your house, we will take the time and give you a no obligation, FREE onsite consultation and show you some of our patio design gallery and book of work.
