Bluestone & Flagstone Patios Examples & Descriptions- Newtown Square PA from Robert J. Kleinberg Landscape Design

Pennsylvania flagstone and bluestone 1½ inches thick are installed on a compacted based off modified and screened stone.
Stones come in various shades of gray which may have tints of blue (bluestone), green, tan, brown, rust, and plum mixed with the gray.
We individually select the stones to ensure quality and desired color range.
Stones are individually installed at the proper grade.
Specializing in small to medium patios (100 to 1,000 sq. ft.).
Patios and walks are blended into existing grade, with a minimum of disturbance to surrounding lawns and gardens, and the proper pitch (approximately 1½% to 2% grade) set to appear level and still drain water away from the house.

Multi-tiered Bluestone Patio – Rose Valley, Delaware County, PA 19063

This property is was built on a slope so walls were constructed with palletized natural stone to create level areas for patios and walks. Levels had to be carefully determined, and work scheduled in a specific order to allow for the smooth completion of each phase. Steps were constructed with 6-in thick flagstone treads.
