Flagging


I was wondering what people are using as flagging for terraces in the different parts of the country?

This one flys 24-7 from my terrace:



And on weekends, this one:




Just kidding, around here it is limestone, either split or sawn, and it is dirt cheap and soft.

Re: Flagging


Like Tom said, around here, limestone is what we have, although most anything is available at some of the stone yards. I like the sawed material because it is a consistant thickness, and flat. One of my favorites was a stone from the hill country known as "ripple rock" a fossilized 100 million yo rippled surface--made for a unique look around a pool.
