I have to admit, that we always steered clear of natural flagstone patios, because they never looked good to me. We pride ourselves on the finished look of our projects and the high quality if our installations. The Flagstone patios and walkways that we saw out there installed by others always left a LOT to be desired, in our opinion.
That is until now. We do NOT steer clear of Flagstone Patios anymore. We actually love them, and we love the look of them, we love how much care and attention they take to get them right. Well, let me clarify that.
We stumbled upon a system of installing Flagstone Patios (while researching install techniques), that is incredibly labour intensive, but produces the best looking finished patio I have seen in a long while in Calgary, maybe anywhere. I am not going to share our new found, but incredibly smart, system, but I will show you the results.
This is Natural Rundle Flagstone, known for it’s dark color, and also know for it’s uneven thicknesses and sharp/irregular edges. These two things combine to make Rundle one of the most difficult Flags to work with making it hard to match up edges, and even harder to provide an even and smooth top surface.
See for yourself. on the left is Concrete Pavers, and on the right is Natural Flagstone. both very flat and useable. 
So, if you want you patio to be uneven, with large gaps, and be totally unusable, don’t call us. We waited until we knew we could install these amazing features to our always higher than industry standards, before we made them available to you! No Flagstone patio is cheap, but it is frustratingly more expensive when you have to install the same patio 2 or 3 times because of installation defects or poor workmanship.
