3 Reasons a Flag Stone Patio Installation is Your Best Landscaping Option

Chris D. • May 13, 2022

 

 It is no secret that investing in the outdoor spaces on your property can significantly add value to your home. These spaces can be luxurious places to spend the warmer months in the sun, around the pool, with friends at dinner, or around a bonfire. The American Society of Landscape Architects' recommendation for homeowners is that 10% of their home's value be invested in landscaping. If you're considering contacting hardscape pavers anytime soon, here are three reasons why you should go with a flag stone patio installation .

 

Durability

When investing in an outdoor space, it would be most efficient to achieve the best results after only one service period. Fortunately for flag stones, they are naturally resistant to damage more so than any other hardscaping material. Flag stone is far less likely to crack, warp, or fade when exposed to the elements. This means that it will not rot or experience water damage as a wood deck might. Stone patio installations are also safe from termites and other pests that may wreak havoc on wood landscaping.

Safety

Flag stone patio installations come with the added benefit of children's safety. The texture of flag stone is non-slip and prevents water from pooling. Even in the summer dew, the pool's splashes, and the rain, your bare feet will find traction on flag stone. Not only does this material provide the assurance that you will not have to pay for maintenance and restoration, but you may not have to pay for medical bills.

Customization

Since flag stone is so impervious to damage, it fetches a more expensive price than materials with shorter life spans. The stones come in an array of colors and the possibilities for flag stones are infinite. You could floor an outdoor kitchen, a bonfire space, a pool deck, or various walkways and driveways. Flag stone's composition features layers that make it able to withstand the weight of vehicles. These stones remove virtually any doubt about installing your dream outdoor space.

It can be nice to know that your family and friends are in good hands when spending time together, inside or out. If you're looking to establish hardscaping on your property in Baltimore County or Harford County, Maryland, contact us today!
