Project:
Flagstone Patio Over an Existing Concrete Slab
Category:
Flagstone Patios
Stone:
Multi-color sandstone flagstone
Application:
Patio resurfacing
Related service:
These photos follow a plain concrete patio being resurfaced with large pieces of multi-color flagstone. Using a sound existing slab as the base is a common way to upgrade a patio without full demolition.
The slab has to be stable and crack-free enough to carry mortar-set stone; a moving slab will crack the stone above it. For materials, the installation process and price ranges, see our guide to building a flagstone patio.
Key details:
The slab is checked for movement and cracking.
Flagstones are set in a full mortar bed on the slab.
Joints are filled and the stone is cleaned.
Photos are shown to illustrate this type of stonework. They are not presented as work performed by East West Stone, and the project location is not disclosed.
