flagstoned

Laid with slabs

Flagstoned describes a surface paved with flagstones—flat slabs of stone used for walkways, patios, and floors: a flagstoned courtyard, the flagstoned path to the garden.

The word evokes old-world solidity, common in descriptions of European architecture or traditional estates.
