Mined from many places around the world, flagstone is a general term that describes a wide range of flat sedimentary rock that is commonly used in landscaping and paving paths or walkways. Flagstone is available in a wide variety of shapes, colors, thicknesses and sizes.
Flagstone Stone Cleaning
Flagstone should be professionally cleaned. Before beginning, it is important that dry particulate soil, such as dirt, dust and debris have been effectively removed. Once the surface of Flagstone is dust and debris free, the total cleaning process can begin.
Flagstone Stone Sealing
The porosity of Flagstone makes this natural stone highly susceptible to staining. Flagstone is extremely porous and requires a suitable sealant to protect it from permanent damage. The key to effectively protecting Flagstone with a sealant is dwell time. There must be adequate penetration for the sealant to work properly.
Flagstone Stone Polishing
Flagstone is a natural stone that is not usually conducive to polishing processes. To achieve a shine, homeowners might consider a “breathable” topcoat application that will enable this natural stone to have proper ventilation, while achieving the desired shine. Polishing compounds that are formulated for natural stones are best.
Flagstone Stone Honing
It is vitally important that natural stones such as Flagstone are allowed to “breathe” or have normal exposure to air circulation. The application of some topcoats can cut off this exposure and be detrimental to stone over time. Honing or sandblasting Flagstone can restore this natural stone.
Flagstone Stone Stripping
Flagstone should not be shellacked or covered with a topcoat that does not allow proper exposure to air. When improper topcoats have been applied, A1 Scapes Tree Experts can remove these lacquers or waxes by stripping the coatings from the surface in a safe and efficient manner.
