So, let’s answer the most basic question - what is flagstone?
Let’s start with what flagstone is made of. Flagstone is a generic term used to encompass all sedimentary and metamorphic rock that’s split into layers. These rocks are naturally split along the lineation planes of the stones. Encompassing a range of different sedimentary rocks, this term is used to describe the different types of a stone laid as “flags” in patterns.

Slate is one of the most commonly known types of flagstones available. This stone is a metamorphic rock that’s layered with clay-like minerals.

Sandstone is a sedimentary rock that’s formed by layers of sand, as the name suggests. Of the different types of flagstone, this one gives one of the most contemporary or earthy looks.

Quartzite is a stone that’s a form of metamorphosed rock. It offers a glossy, smooth surface for an ageless appearance that withstands the tests of time.

With a range of flagstone types and colors, the price can vary based on the stone you choose. But is flagstone expensive? It’s not the cheapest material. Oftentimes, flagstone costs $2 to $6 per square foot, just for the stone itself. However, with labor, you will pay closer to $15 to $22 per square foot. Keep in mind, that thicker stones or rarer colors will fall on the higher end of that spectrum.
