Gardening with Stone

Finishing Flagstone???

20 years ago

I put in an Arizona Flagstone patio last fall (color: Rosa).

Love the way it looks and am ready to power wash to get it clean. Has anyone finished the flagstone with some type of coating in order to preserve the intensity of the color and design. If so, what did you use and are you happy with it? Was it easy to work with? Etc?

Thanks. All comments welcome.

Try calling your local stone supplier. There are a number of sealers available to give you a wet look.
