Video of a Flagstone Patio in Portland Oregon

Variegated flagstone is a great pick for many homes. The color is usually a combination of pale green and tans. Being a softer flagstone type it is great for cutting, thus making installation a little simpler.
The job we constructed was on a gravel base, exactly like installing concrete interlocking pavers. We dug down 7″ or so installed barrier cloth, put in 4″ of 5/8″ minus gravel and compacted. We then put a layer of 1/4″ minus down unlike pavers, which is a layer of sand and started installing the flagstone. We made sure we had gaps no more than 1″ which meant virtually every flagstone got cut.We cut out each piece of the flagstone before laying it permanently. We then started installing the flagstone, making sure we had a grade for drainage, and that every piece was even with each other. After the installation we used pave lock and 1/4″minus gravel combined to make a semi permanent filler for the joints.

The same job also had a lower patio that we installed in mortar on a concrete sub slab.
We also installed a 2 bubbler water feature.

Unique paver patio Vancouver Washington

At Woody’s Custom Landscaping, Inc, installing pavers have been a major part of our work load for years. We are a preferred contractor with Mutual Materials and are glad to have that honor. We usually gauge our jobs on how big they are, as installing pavers isn’t that hard. It does require you install them correctly and have a system for installing them that you can make a profit.

We have installed a paver patio that is pretty unique. Instead of installing the concrete pavers in a straight line or even a herringbone or random pattern, we installed them with a curve. It required a lot of cutting but I think you will see the results as unique and artistic. I would not of thought of it myself and I thank Hana Adamko for the very pleasing and artistic landscape design she did for our client.

Woody’s just installed a patio and firepit area for us that turned out fantastic!! Woody was very professional and accommodating to my every wish, as was his entire staff. Everyone was so helpful and efficient. They started work promptly each day and cleaned up before they left, so as not to leave a mess for us to look at while under construction. I could not have asked for a better crew to work with. The final product came out better than I imagined and of top notch quality. I would highly recommend Woody’s!!

Fall Is The Perfect Time For Your Landscape Project

For those of us living in the Vancouver and Portland Metro area, fall is a wonderful time of year. Our weather is generally dry and mild, so it is an excellent time to work on those landscape and home improvement projects that may have been put off during the busy summer months. Imagine enjoying the last remaining warm weekends and evenings entertaining family and friend on a new paver patio. Or you can easily and economically enhance your existing landscape by adding a few natural stone features like boulders and columns. Mutual Materials’ hardscape product lines can provide endless design possibilities. From the simple to the very elaborate, we have the products and sales expertise to help you obtain your desired result.
