Bluestone is a popular sandstone with a wide color range, from blue to lilac to green and brown to gunmetal. Lilac is the soft, pale lavender end of that range. It brings a cool, calm tone to a patio and pairs well with gray siding, white trim and silver-leaf plants. Mid Valley Rock stocks Lilac in two forms: select flagstone for larger coverage and tumbled flagstone for smooth edges. ## Forms we carry Bluestone: Lilac Flagstone Bluestone: Lilac Tumbled flagstone ## The bluestone color range Bluestone is a sandstone known for its cool colors. The bluest stone is the most highly prized, while Lilac offers a softer lavender cast. Colors shift from piece to piece, so a Lilac patio shows gentle variation. For a stronger blue, compare it with [Blue Bluestone](https://midvalleyrock.com/stone/bluestone-blue/) or the [Full Range](https://midvalleyrock.com/stone/bluestone-full-range/) mix. Bluestone is a sandstone best known from the Northeast. ## Select and tumbled Lilac Select flagstone comes in larger coverage pieces for patios and walkways. Larger pieces mean fewer joints and a calmer surface. Tumbled Lilac has smooth, rounded edges. It is often used for pool coping, stepping stones, stair treads and wall caps where a soft edge matters. ## Installing Lilac Bluestone Thinner select pieces are usually hard-set with mortar over concrete. Thicker ones can go down on a soft base of sand and decomposed granite. Read [soft set vs hard set](https://midvalleyrock.com/rock-talk/soft-set-vs-hard-set/) before you decide. Measure the area and bring the numbers to the yard. Staff can help you estimate tonnage and match pieces for a consistent tone. ## Popular uses - Lavender-toned patios - Tumbled pool coping - Stair treads - Stepping stones - Wall caps ### Is it in the yard today?
