Arizona Sandstone Classic Oak

Classic Oak is the quiet member of the Arizona sandstone family. Its base is a soft cream, touched with pink, so it reads light and warm without being loud. That makes it an easy match for tan stucco, white trim and most planting palettes. Like all Arizona sandstone it is medium in hardness and very porous. It comes in several cuts for everything from soft-set paths to mortared patios.

Cream with pink

Classic Oak's cream base carries soft pink tones that shift from piece to piece. The effect is warm and natural rather than bold.

It works well where you want a stone to support the house and plantings instead of competing with them.

Cuts in the yard

Arizona sandstone is stocked in Patio 2 in, Select 1 in, 1 3/4 in and Thin Select 1 1/4 in minus. Patio Tumbled and Ledge Stone are available in some colors, and boulders are carried too.

Specialty colors, when available from the quarry, include Black Cherry, Blush, Grand Canyon, Peach, Sedona Red, Sunburst, Wild Orchid and Windrose.

Laying Classic Oak

Thick patio pieces can be soft-set on sand and DG for a permeable path. Thin select is hard-set with mortar over concrete for a permanent patio.

Not sure which? Read soft set vs hard set and use the flagstone calculator for a starting estimate.

Classic Oak can carry a whole yard, with a boulder or two of Arizona sandstone as accents. Seeing the pieces together in the yard makes the choice easier.
