O le a le Fu'a?

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.

O ituaiga ta'itasi o ma'a fu'a e iai ona foliga, ae o lo'o i ai nisi o suiga e sili atu ona ta'uta'ua, e aofia ai maa lanumoana, limestone, ma ma'a oneone. Ma fa'atasi ai ma le tele o ituaiga ituaiga, e tele fo'i fa'aoga mo lea ituaiga papa.

E tele auala e fa'atinoina ai ma'a fu'a, e aofia ai:

  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.
