How to pick flagstone. If you are mortaring it in to create a patio, you can use a wide variety of sizes, but if you want to have a nonmortared pathway, it's best to use pieces at least 2 feet wide. Flagstone is often organized by type and then packed onto pallets that are wrapped in chicken wire to keep it all together — ask your rock yard if you can cherry-pick the pieces you want from each pallet. Some rock yards prohibit this practice, asking instead that you purchase an entire pallet or cherry-pick only from pallets that have already been opened (meaning the chicken wire has been cut or removed).How much do you need? That depends upon your project, but start with calculating the square footage of your path or patio. A 10- by 20-foot patio, for example, is 200 square feet. Next determine what the coverage is for the material you are using. "Coverage" simply means how much area your material will cover — your rock-yard staff should be able to give you that information.There is a formula to figure out how much material you will need: the square footage of the project (200) divided by the square footage of the coverage (say, 100) equals the tons of material required (2 tons). So you would need 2 tons of flagstone to make a 10- by 20-foot patio.

Flagstone simple

How it's sold. Flagstone, also called patio rock, is sold by the ton or by the pound, not per piece, and the price varies widely depending upon what type of rock the flagstone is. You can expect to pay anywhere from $140 to $320-plus per ton. The more exotic the rock, the higher the cost, so if your budget is tight, look for a common flagstone that is quarried locally. Thickness. You will likely flagstone described as thick or thin, and which one you should buy depends upon how you want to use it. If you intend to lay a flagstone pathway without mortar, you will want to get thick pieces, or those that are 2 inches in height. Thin flagstone is less than 2 inches thick and will crack and break apart if not set into a mortared base. Thicker pieces are also often called "lay-down," because you can lay them directly down on the soil without mortar. Larger and thicker pieces are sometimes called "stand-up," because they can stand on their sides in a rack.
