Cherokee flagstone

Cherokee is for people who want real red in a patio. The sandstone runs from deep red to brick red, and salmon accents lighten it here and there. It is also practical: the pieces are smooth and flat, and the stone is very durable. That combination makes it comfortable to walk on and straightforward to lay.

Deep red, brick red and salmon

Red flagstone changes the feel of a yard. Cherokee looks at home with brick, terra cotta pots and warm stucco, and it stands out sharply against green lawn and plantings.

The salmon accents keep a large patio from reading as one flat color. Lay out several pieces before you set them so the lighter and darker tones are spread evenly.

Smooth and flat underfoot

A smooth, flat flagstone is a good choice for patios with tables and chairs, and for walkways that get daily use. Pieces sit level, and furniture stands steady.

Thickness decides how the stone is installed. Thinner select pieces are hard-set with mortar over concrete, while 1 1/2 to 2 inch stone can be soft-set on sand and decomposed granite. Our flagstone thickness guide explains the options.

Figuring your quantity

Measure the area with a tape and bring the numbers. The flagstone calculator gives a starting estimate, and staff can refine it at the yard.

Flagstone is sold by weight, with the pallet weight taken off. For a big patio, talk through the full job at the start so all of your Cherokee can come from matching stock.
