Each flagstone project starts with site preparation. Our technicians remove old paving, grass, and plants and excavate the area to a proper depth, ensuring that the finished flagstone patio or walkway will be properly graded with the surrounding yard.
Then, for the dry-laid option, we fill the base with gravel or crushed limestone to create a solid foundation, adding a layer of sand on top. Once the base is ready, we lay the stones, firmly tapping each piece into place with a rubber hammer.
Another option is a concrete base. Concrete base is poured and leveled after the excavation is completed. After that the flagstone is installed on mortar and the joints are finished.
Next, our technicians get down to filling the joints between the flagstones. We use sand, mortar, or a mixture of both, depending on your choice. While sand is renowned for its excellent drainage properties, mortar provides a more durable surface.
Stone is a strong material for retaining walls, providing structural support and an appealing aesthetic. Stone facades on exterior walls or chimneys also boost curb appeal and add to a home’s value.
Over time, natural stone pieces can get loose, chipped, or cracked, making your flagstone patio or flagstone walkway less appealing and unsafe to walk on. Stone work specialists at GTA Sunrise can repair square cut and random flagstone surfaces to restore the appeal of your front yard.

Concrete paving stones are often referred to as such because they are designed to mimic the appearance and function of natural stone paving. While they are not made of actual stone, they are molded and textured to resemble various types of stone, such as slate, granite, or limestone.
When made of concrete, they are even more durable. Paving stones can be used for driveways, patios, pool decks, walkways and accents around your outdoor space.
