Flagstone

Flagstone is a term used to refer to any flat stone. Such stones are frequently used in landscaping and to make outdoor walkways and paths.

Flagstone

Flagstones, if improperly set, can cause a safety and tripping hazard. Even if installed correctly, time, tree roots and shifting earth can cause an individual stone to jut out or sink in from the rest of the walkway, creating a safety issue. Drainage can also be a problem with exterior, flagstone walkways. If the entire walkway doesn't slope away from the house, ice can easily form on the walkway, making winter walking dangerous. If the walkway includes steps, the inspector will check to see if these are a standard, safe height and width.
