Base Preparation

Hard rock and screening materials are added to ensure stability.

Concrete Foundation (if required)

Concrete is poured and leveled, then allowed to cure.

Flagstone Installation

Flagstone Porches: A Perfect Blend of Durability and Natural Beauty

Flagstone is an exceptional choice for porches, thanks to its narrow-packed joints that allow water to permeate rather than simply running off. This unique feature helps maintain a dry, stable surface while providing an eco-friendlier solution. Flagstone is incredibly durable and can be installed dry, creating a permeable surface that encourages the growth of grass, moss, and other ground covers between the stones—making it an environmentally sustainable option.

Beyond its functionality, flagstone adds a natural, organic look to any porch with its irregular shapes and earthy color tones. The most used types for porch installation include sandstone, slate, and limestone, each offering their own distinctive beauty. Flagstone porches are not only long-lasting and naturally slip-resistant, but they also enhance your outdoor space with timeless appeal that will endure for years.

At Everlandscaping, we specialize in designing and installing stunning flagstone porches that are both practical and visually striking. Let us help you create a beautiful, durable outdoor retreat that complements your home’s natural charm. Contact us today!

Pros and Cons of Flagstone: A Natural Touch for Your Outdoor Space

Flagstone is a natural stone that offers unmatched beauty and a luxurious, organic feel. In contrast, interlocking stones are mass-produced in factories, ensuring precise dimensions, colors, and shapes for a more uniform appearance.

When it comes to installation, interlocking stones can often be laid using the dry lay method (on a gravel base), thanks to their uniform size. Flagstone, however, typically requires the wet lay method. This means the stones are set on wet mortar or cement over a concrete base, which helps preserve their durability and longevity. The wet lay method is ideal for flagstone and other natural materials, as it allows the stones to settle into the cement, providing better leveling—especially beneficial for steps with varying heights.

While interlocking stones offer more design flexibility, greater durability, and affordability (along with superior warranties in most cases), flagstone shines when you seek a more luxurious, natural aesthetic for your outdoor space. If you’re after timeless beauty and a sophisticated finish, Everlandscaping recommends flagstone for your next project.

Why Do Flagstone Joints Crack?

Flagstone joints can crack for two primary reasons, both of which are preventable with proper care and attention.

  • Use of Low-Quality Cement or Mortar

    The right mix of cement and sand is crucial for the durability of your flagstone joints. Instead of attempting to mix your own, we recommend using pre-mixed “Type S” mortar for optimal results. If only cement is used, it will crack over time, leading to repairs that won’t last. On the other hand, if only sand is used, the joints will never fully harden. This is because sand retains moisture, and when exposed to freezing temperatures, it can expand up to 9%, causing the mortar to crack.

  • Improper Base Preparation

    The surface underneath your flagstone plays a key role in the stability of the joints. If the gravel base shifts or moves, it will inevitably cause the joints to crack. To assess the condition of your base, it’s essential to have a professional technician carefully lift the flagstones and inspect the foundation.

At Everlandscaping, we ensure that every aspect of your flagstone installation— from mortar selection to base preparation— is done to the highest standard to ensure long-lasting results. Let us help you create a durable, beautiful outdoor space that stands the test of time.

Exploring Different Types of Natural Flagstone

Flagstone comes in a wide range of shapes and colors, but the two most popular choices are random flagstone and calibrated & cut flagstone. Each type has its own advantages, making it important to choose the one that best fits your project and aesthetic vision.

  • Random Flagstone

    Known for its affordability, random flagstone is sold by weight and offers a stunning variety of natural colors that are truly one-of-a-kind. In fact, no two stones are exactly the same, giving your outdoor space a unique and organic feel that simply can’t be replicated.

  • Calibrated & Cut Flagstone

    These stones are precision-cut into square or rectangular shapes, making them much easier to install. Their uniformity provides a sleek and modern look, making them a preferred choice for structured designs.

Both options offer timeless beauty, so the best choice depends on your specific needs and style preferences. At Everlandscaping, we help homeowners select and install the perfect flagstone to enhance their outdoor spaces. Contact us today to explore our premium flagstone options!

How to Install Natural Stone Steps with Everlandscaping

At Everlandscaping, we prioritize customer satisfaction by overseeing every aspect of the project, adhering to safety regulations, and maintaining a clean, efficient workspace. With the help of our specialized power equipment, we tackle projects of all sizes and complexities with ease.

Step 1 – Measure and Level the Area

Before embarking on your natural stone step installation, it’s crucial to understand that whether you opt for Natural Stone or Flagstone steps, this process requires a solid understanding of the method and specialized equipment to safely lift heavy materials. For context, a 4 ft step weighs approximately 200-300 pounds, while a 6 ft step can weigh between 500-800 pounds. While a DIY installation is possible, we highly recommend entrusting this project to Everlandscaping—a reliable, professional, and experienced team that will save you the hassle and guarantee results.

We begin by accurately measuring and leveling the installation area. This involves determining the proper width and depth for the steps and ensuring that the area is perfectly level with the ground.

Step 2 – Prepare a Gravel Base Layer

Once the area is leveled, we lay a base layer of gravel to provide a stable foundation for your natural stone steps. This crucial step helps create a solid surface for the stones to sit on and prevents them from shifting over time. After spreading a 3-4 inch layer of gravel, we use a tamper or roller to compact it thoroughly, ensuring the best results.

Step 3 – Stone Step Installation

With the base layer prepared, we proceed to install the natural stones. We lay the stones evenly, ensuring proper spacing, and secure them in place using mortar or concrete adhesive (depending on the stone type). Properly securing the stones is essential to ensuring your steps’ durability and stability for years to come.

Step 4 – Install Railings

The final step is the installation of railings. As a full-service natural stone contractor, Everlandscaping also offers professional railing installation. We handle the entire project, from start to finish, to ensure a seamless and cohesive outcome.
