flagstone path

Flat rock walkway

A flagstone path is a walkway made of flat, irregularly shaped stones laid in sand or mortar.

The stones, typically slate, sandstone, or limestone, create a rustic, naturalistic look in gardens and landscapes: A flagstone path wound through the herb garden.

The gaps between stones are often filled with gravel, moss, or ground cover plants.
