flagstone patio

Stone slab courtyard

A flagstone patio is an outdoor surface made of flat, irregular slabs of stone fitted together, typically adjoining a house.

Flagstone—usually slate, sandstone, or limestone—creates a natural, rustic look prized in landscaping: We built a flagstone patio off the back door.

The stones may be set in mortar or laid dry on sand.
