Austin Patios
Flagstone patios are the most popular option that we offer. They are constructed in a couple of different ways, both depending on type of sub base and budget. The most expensive type of flagstone patio construction is to put a 4” concrete base with steel reinforcement. The flagstone is then layed on top in a two step process and mortared in. A cheaper method of flagstone patio construction is to put a crushed limestone base at a 2” minimum thickness and then to wet set the flagstones in masonry. This method of flagstone construction is best suited for rocky areas where expansive soils don’t have a big impact. In Austin Texas this means that a majority of the area is suitable for this type of construction. However, it is always best to put the concrete base below the flagstone. It is more durable, doesn’t shift as much and can handle more weight. It will last a lifetime.
