flagstone
Flat walkway stone
A flagstone is a flat slab of stone used for paving walkways, patios, and floors.
These stones are typically cut or split into irregular shapes and fitted together to create durable outdoor surfaces.
The term can refer to the individual stones or collectively to the paving material: We laid flagstone around the pool.
Flagstone paths have an organic, rustic appearance that blends naturally with garden landscaping.
